Answer:
2/6561
Step-by-step explanation:
Geometric sequence formula :
where an = nth term, a1 = first term , r = common ratio and n = term position
given ratio : 1/3 , first term : 2 , given this we want to find the 9th term
to do so we simply plug in what we are given into the formula
recall formula :
define variables : a1 = 2 , r = 1/3 , n = 9
plug in values
a9 = 2(1/3)^(9-1)
subtract exponents
a9 = 2(1/3)^8
evaluate exponent
a9 = 2 (1/6561)
multiply 2 and 1/6561
a9 = 2/6561
Answer:
a) Joint ptobability distribution
b) P(X<= 1 and Y <= 1) = P(X<= 1) * P(Y<=1) = 0.56
c) P(X + Y = 0)=0.3
d) P(X + Y <= 1)=0.53
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to construct the joint probability table with the marginal probabilities of X and Y.
X can take values from 0 to 2, and Y can take values from 0 to 4.
We can calculate each point of the joint probability as:
Then, the joint probabilities are:
X=0 Y=0 Px=0.5 Px=0.6 P(0,0)=0.3
X=0 Y=1 Px=0.5 Px=0.1 P(0,1)=0.05
X=0 Y=2 Px=0.5 Px=0.05 P(0,2)=0.025
X=0 Y=3 Px=0.5 Px=0.05 P(0,3)=0.025
X=0 Y=4 Px=0.5 Px=0.2 P(0,4)=0.1
X=1 Y=0 Px=0.3 Px=0.6 P(1,0)=0.18
X=1 Y=1 Px=0.3 Px=0.1 P(1,1)=0.03
X=1 Y=2 Px=0.3 Px=0.05 P(1,2)=0.015
X=1 Y=3 Px=0.3 Px=0.05 P(1,3)=0.015
X=1 Y=4 Px=0.3 Px=0.2 P(1,4)=0.06
X=2 Y=0 Px=0.2 Px=0.6 P(2,0)=0.12
X=2 Y=1 Px=0.2 Px=0.1 P(2,1)=0.02
X=2 Y=2 Px=0.2 Px=0.05 P(2,2)=0.01
X=2 Y=3 Px=0.2 Px=0.05 P(2,3)=0.01
X=2 Y=4 Px=0.2 Px=0.2 P(2,4)=0.04
We can write it in the form of a matrix:
b) From the joint probability P(X<= 1 and Y <= 1) is equal to
We can calculate P(X<= 1) * P(Y<=1)
Both calculations give the same result.
c) Probability of no violations
d) P(X + Y <= 1)
