The expectation value is simply obtained by multiplying the probability of each outcome by each possible value. These are then summed for each outcome to obtain the expectation value. In the board game, if there is a 60% chance that you will move 4 spaces forward (+4) and a 40% chance that you will move back 2 spaces then expected value for number of spaces is (0.6 x 4) + (0.4 x -2) = 2.4 - 0.8 = 1.6 spaces.

At an archeological​ site, the remains of two ancient step pyramids are congruent. If ABCD is congruent to EFGH, find GH
Alona [7]

Answer:

40 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If two polygons are congruent to one another, therefore, it implies that the angles and sides of one is congruent to the corresponding sides and angles of the other.

Given that ABCD is congruent to EFGH, therefore:

CD ≅ GH

Since CD = 40 ft, therefore, GH will be 40 ft.

Suppose N has a geometric distribution with parameter p. Derive a closed-form expression for E(N | N &lt;= k), k = 1,2,... Check
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

P(X= k) = (1-p)^k-1.p

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of trials is

N < = k, the geometric distribution gives the probability that there are k-1 trials that result in failure(F) before the success(S) at the kth trials.

Given p = success,

1 - p = failure

Hence the distribution is described as: Pr ( FFFF.....FS)

Pr(X= k) = (1-p)(1-p)(1-p)....(1-p)p

Pr((X=k) = (1 - p)^ (k-1) .p

Since N<=k

Pr (X =k) = p(1-p)^k-1, k= 1,2,...k

0, elsewhere

If the probability is defined for Y, the number of failure before a success

Pr (Y= k) = p(1-p)^y......k= 0,1,2,3

0, elsewhere.

Given p= 0.2, k= 3,

P(X= 3) =( 0.2) × (1 - 0.2)²

P(X=3) = 0.128
