the answer is x > or equal to 4
Given:
4log1/2^w (2log1/2^u-3log1/2^v)
Req'd:
Single logarithm = ?
Sol'n:
First remove the parenthesis,
4 log 1/2 (w) + 2 log 1/2 (u) - 3 log 1/2 (v)
Simplify each term,
Simplify the 4 log 1/2 (w) by moving the constant 4 inside the logarithm;
Simplify the 2 log 1/2 (u) by moving the constant 2 inside the logarithm;
Simplify the -3 log 1/2 (v) by moving the constant -3 inside the logarithm:
log 1/2 (w^4) + 2 log 1/2 (u) - 3 log 1/2 (v)
log 1/2 (w^4) + log 1/2 (u^2) - log 1/2 (v^3)
We have to use the product property of logarithms which is log of b (x) + log of b (y) = log of b (xy):
Thus,
Log of 1/2 (w^4 u^2) - log of 1/2 (v^3)
then use the quotient property of logarithms which is log of b (x) - log of b (y) = log of b (x/y)
Therefore,
log of 1/2 (w^4 u^2 / v^3)
and for the final step and answer, reorder or rearrange w^4 and u^2:
log of 1/2 (u^2 w^4 / v^3)
im sorry i dont know how to help
Answer and Explanation:
Given : Five males with an X-linked genetic disorder have one child each. The random variable x is the number of children among the five who inherit the X-linked genetic disorder.
To find :
a. Does the table show a probability distribution?
b. Find the mean and standard deviation of the random variable x.
Solution :
a) To determine that table shows a probability distribution we add up all six probabilities if the sum is 1 then it is a valid distribution.
Yes it is a probability distribution.
b) First we create the table as per requirements,
x P(x) xP(x) x² x²P(x)
0 0.029 0 0 0
1 0.147 0.147 1 0.147
2 0.324 0.648 4 1.296
3 0.324 0.972 9 2.916
4 0.147 0.588 16 2.352
5 0.029 0.145 25 0.725
∑P(x)=1 ∑xP(x)=2.5 ∑x²P(x)=7.436
The mean of the random variable is
The standard deviation of the random sample is
Therefore, The mean is 2.5 and the standard deviation is 1.08.

Answer: Choice D</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
If you plug in x = -2, then,
y = 4x-2
y = 4(-2)-2
y = -8-2
y = -10
This shows that the answer must be choice D, as this is the only answer that has x = -2 lead to y = -10. Note the first column of table D.
We could stop here if you wanted.
----------------------
If we kept going and plugged in x = 0, then,
y = 4x-2
y = 4(0)-2
y = 0-2
y = -2
We have x = 0 lead to y = -2. This matches with the second column of table D.
-----------------------
Lastly, if we plugged in x = 2, then we get,
y = 4x-2
y = 4(2)-2
y = 8-2
y = 6
So the third column of table D is also confirmed.
