Answer:

0.1274

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable that measures the number of children who get their own coat.

Then, the expected value of X is

E[X] = 1P(X=1) + 2P(X=2)+3P(X=3)+...+10P(X=10)

The probability that a child gets her or his coat is

P(X=1) = 1/10

To compute the probability that 2 children get their own coat, we notice that there are 10! possible permutations of coats. The two children can get their coat in only one way, the other 8 coats can be arranged in 8! different positions, so the probability that 2 children get their own coat is

P(X=2) = 8!/10! = 1/(10*9)  and

2P(X=2) = 2/(10*9)

Similarly, we can see that the probability that 3 children get their own coat is

P(X=3) = 7!/10! = 1/(10*9*8) and  

3P(X=3) = 3/(10*9*8*7)

and the expected value of X would be

E[X] = 1/10 + 2/(10*9) + 3/(10*9*8)+...+10/10! = 0.1274

3. Two balls are drawn in succession without replacement from an urn containing 4 red balls and 3 blue balls. Find the probabili
choli [55]

Answer:

X ____ 0 ______ 1 _______ 2

P(x) __ 1/7 _____ 4/7 _____ 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of red balls = 4

Number of Blue balls = 3

Total number of balls = (4 + 3) = 7

Picking without replacement :

Number of picks = 2

1st pick is red :

Probability = (required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

USing combination formula :

nCr = n! / (n-r)! r!

Total possible outcome :

7C2 = 7! / 5!2! = 7*6 / 2 = 42 / 2 = 21

X = number of red

For red = 0;

P(x =0) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(x = 0)

Required outcome : [4C0 * 3C2)]

P(x = 0) = [(4C0 * 3C2)] / 21 = (1*3)/21 = 3/21 = 1/7

P(x = 1)

Required outcome : [4C1 * 3C1)]

P(x = 1) = [(4C1 * 3C1)] / 21 = (4*3)/21 = 12/21 = 4/7

P(x = 2)

Required outcome : [4C2 * 3C0)]

P(x = 2) = [(4C2 * 3C0)] / 21 = (6*1)/21 = 6/21 = 2/7

Hence ;

X ____ 0 ______ 1 _______ 2

P(x) __ 1/7 _____ 4/7 _____ 2/7

Find the tangent of angle Θ in the triangle below.
Rina8888 [55]

Answer: \frac{\sqrt{65}}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Pythagorean theorem, the unknown side has length

\sqrt{9^{2}-4^{2}}=\sqrt{65}

Therefore,

\tan \theta=\boxed{\frac{\sqrt{65}}{4}}

100 POINTS!!! Orthographic projection and isometric projection are two ways to show three-dimensional objects in a two-dimension
shutvik [7]

Example 1:

The pros of Orthographic is that they can show hidden details and all of the connecting parts, they can be annotated to display material and finishes. The pros of Isometric projection is that they dont need many views and it gives accuracy, cons are is created a unorginized apperance by the lack of foreshortening, I would choose Isometric projection because it shows the size of the figure.

Example 2:

Orthographic projection is a good option for showing lots of detail and small things. The limitation is that with all of that detail, they can become quite messy and hard to understand to someone new to them. However, that is one of the pros of Isometric projection. It gives easy detail and is just as good as an Orthographic. Personally, I find Isometric projections easier to interpret.
