Answer:

P(1) = 1 - 8/27 = 19/27

The probability that at least one of them will be elected is 19/27

Step-by-step explanation:

the probability that at least one of them will be elected = 1 - probability that none of them will be elected.

P(1) = 1 - P(None) .....1

Let P(A), P(B) and P(C) represent the probability for each of the three candidates to be elected .

P(A) = P(B) = P(C) = 1/3

The probability for each of the three candidates not to be elected is

P(A)' = P(B)' = P(C)' = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

P(None) = P(A)' × P(B)' × P(C)'= 2/3 × 2/3 × 2/3 = 8/27

From equation 1. Substituting the value of P(None)

P(1) = 1 - 8/27 = 19/27

The probability that at least one of them will be elected is 19/27

Blababa [14]
Ok so first, write down the equation. We know that x=3 and y=4. You just basically plug in the terms into the variables. So it would be 3(3)+1/4(4)^2. Simplify that equation and you should get your answer :)

If the rate of change (ROC) of the function is quadratic, what is the function type ? Choose the correct answer.
evablogger [386]

If the rate of change (ROC) of the function is quadratic, then the function type is cubic

<h3>What is rate of change?</h3>

The rate of change of a function is the rate at which the output values change over the input value

The rate of change of a function is one degree less than the actual function

This means that, a cubic function will have a quadratic rate of change

Hence, the correct option is (d)
