Answer and explanation:

To find : List the sample space and tell whether you think the events are equally likely ?

Solution :

a) Toss 2 coins; record the order of heads and tails.

Let H is getting head and t is getting tail.

When two coins are tossed the sample space is {HH,HT,TH,TT}.

Total number of outcome = 4

As the outcome HT is different from TH. Each outcome is unique.

Events are equally likely since their probabilities \frac{1}{4} are same.

b) A family has 3 children; record the number of boys.

Let B denote boy and G denote girl.

If there are 3 children then the sample space is

{GGG,GGB,GBG,BGG,BBG,GBB,BGB,BBB}

The possible number of boys are 0,1,2 and 3.

Number of boys      Favorable outcome    Probability

           0                      GGG                        \frac{1}{8}

           1                    GGB,GBG,BGG          \frac{3}{8}

           2                   GBB,BGB,BBG           \frac{3}{8}

           3                       BBB                         \frac{1}{8}

Since the probabilities are not equal the events are not equally likely.

c)  Flip a coin until you get a head or 3 consecutive tails; record each flip.

Getting a head in a trial is dependent on the previous toss.

Similarly getting 3 consecutive tails also dependent on previous toss.

Hence, the probabilities cannot be equal and events cannot be equally likely.

d) Roll two dice; record the larger number

The sample space of rolling two dice is

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

Now we form a table that the number of time each number occurs as maximum number then we find probability,

Highest number        Number of times         Probability

           1                                   1                     \frac{1}{36}

           2                                  3                    \frac{3}{36}

           3                                  5                    \frac{5}{36}

           4                                  7                    \frac{7}{36}

           5                                  9                    \frac{9}{36}

           6                                  11                    \frac{11}{36}

Since the probabilities are not the same the events are not equally likely.

Find the x-intercept of the function f(x) = a^x + 1 - 1.
babymother [125]

I am not certain of what you wrote for the function but will assume that is likely exponential function or quadratic function.

First, (quadratic function) To solve this, you must know the quadratic formula. The x-intercept is value(s) that has the output value(y) of 0.

If the vertex of the quadratic function of (0,0), there is only one x-intercept. The number and value of the x-intercept depends on the slope and vertical displacement.

Second, (exponential function) note that there is no x-intercept. For instance, if a is 2, is there such value y that 2^y is 0? The smallest exponential value that is an integer is 1. Even broadening the limit to rational numbers, no such exponential value can have the result of 0. Therefore, in the basic form of exponential function, there is no x-intercept.
