Answer:

f(x) = \frac{27}{13} (\frac{1}{3})^x , x=1,2,3

1) f(x_i) \geq 0, \forall x_i

2) sum_{i=1}^n P(X_i) =1

We can find the individual probabilities and we got:

f(1)= \frac{27}{13} (\frac{1}{3})^1 =0.6923

f(2)= \frac{27}{13} (\frac{1}{3})^2 =0.2307

f(3)= \frac{27}{13} (\frac{1}{3})^3 =0.0770

And the sum of the 3 values 0.6923+0.2307+0.0770= 1 so then we satisfy all the conditions and we can conclude that f(x) is a probability distribution.

P(X \leq 1) = P(X=1) =0.6923

P(X>1) = P(X=2) +P(X=3) = 0.2307+0.0770=0.3077

P(2

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following density function:

f(x) = \frac{27}{13} (\frac{1}{3})^x , x=1,2,3

In order to satisfty that this function is a probability mass function we need to check two conditions:

1) f(x_i) \geq 0, \forall x_i

2) sum_{i=1}^n P(X_i) =1

We can find the individual probabilities and we got:

f(1)= \frac{27}{13} (\frac{1}{3})^1 =0.6923

f(2)= \frac{27}{13} (\frac{1}{3})^2 =0.2307

f(3)= \frac{27}{13} (\frac{1}{3})^3 =0.0770

And the sum of the 3 values 0.6923+0.2307+0.0770= 1 so then we satisfy all the conditions and we can conclude that f(x) is a probability distribution.

And if we want to find the following probabilities:

P(X \leq 1) = P(X=1) =0.6923

P(X>1) = P(X=2) +P(X=3) = 0.2307+0.0770=0.3077

P(2

Hey.. I know you haven’t been able to find much help, but if you are still struggling this might help.

Try to set it up as an equation for example 25x +25=10x +15 and rewrite it in standard form and see if that helps

So we follow the format y=mx+c. we know the y intercept (c) is 2. the gradient is -1/2 which is a fraction. and then substitute


y=mx+c
y=mx+2
y= -1/2x +2

Nick has 30 coins in his pocket. Some coins are nickels. Some are dimes. The total value of all of the coins in his pocket is $1
HACTEHA [7]
X + y= 30
.05x + .10y= 1.65

n + d = 30
5n + 10d = 165

-5n - 5d = -150
5n + 10d = 165

5d = 15

d = 3 dimes

n + 3 = 30

n= 27 nickels
