1/2(4x-2)-2/3(6x+9)
(2x-1)-(4x+6)
2x-1-4x+62x-4x-1+6
-2x+5=2.5
So I believe that it is greater than 4

A fair coin is tossed repeatedly with results Y0, Y1, Y2, . . . that are 0 or 1 with probability 1/2 each. For n ≥ 1 let Xn = Yn

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

False. See te explanation an counter example below.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we need to find:

$P(X_{n+1} = | X_n =i, X_{n-1}=i') =P(X_{n+1}=j |X_n =i)$ for all $i,i',j$ and for $X_n$ in the Markov Chain assumed. If we proof this then we have a Markov Chain

For example if we assume that $j=2, i=1, i'=0$ then we have this:

$P(X_{n+1} = | X_n =i, X_{n-1}=i') =\frac{1}{2}$

Because we can only have $j=2, i=1, i'=0$ if we have this:

$Y_{n+1}=1 , Y_n= 1, Y_{n-1}=0, Y_{n-2}=0$ , from definition given $X_n = Y_n + Y_{n-1}$

With $i=1, i'=0$ we have that $Y_n =1 , Y_{n-1}=0, Y_{n-2}=0$

So based on these conditions $Y_{n+1}$ would be 1 with probability 1/2 from the definition.

If we find a counter example when the probability is not satisfied we can proof that we don't have a Markov Chain.

Let's assume that $j=2, i=1, i'=2$ for this case in order to satisfy the definition then $Y_n =0, Y_{n-1}=1, Y_{n-2}=1$

But on this case that means $X_{n+1}\neq 2$ and on this case the probability $P(X_{n+1}=j| X_n =i, X_{n-1}=i')= 0$ , so we have a counter example and we have that:

$P(X_{n+1} =j| X_n =i, X_{n-1}=i') \neq P(X_{n+1} =j | X_n =i)$ for all $i,i', j$ so then we can conclude that we don't have a Markov chain for this case.

Reed wants to buy a new tent for an upcoming camping trip. The tent is marked down from its original price by 20%, and Reed has

lukranit [14]

You would take 175 and multiply it by 0.20 which is 35. The you would subtract 35 from 175 because it is marked down so you would get 140. Next, you would take 140 and multiply it by 0.10 and get 14. Finally subtract 14 from 140 to get your answer which would be $126.

Find the length of ST

Andru [333]

Answer:

$ST = 12$

Step-by-step explanation:

By AA Similarity, triangles ASR and EST are similar.

The ratio of the lengths of the sides of triangle ASR to those of EST is 6/8 or 3/4.

$\dfrac{SR}{ST} = \dfrac{3}{4}$

Also,

$SR + ST = 21$

By a rule of proportions, you get

$\dfrac{SR + ST}{ST} = \dfrac{3 + 4}{4}$

$\dfrac{21}{ST} = \dfrac{7}{4}$

$7ST = 4 \times 21$

$7ST = 84$

$ST = 12$
