Answer:

(a) 1.6197

(b) 1.3803

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Let X denote the number of games the Reds win. If Reds win exactly one it means that in the other two games Reds lost i.e Cubs won. Now,  the probability of the Reds losing is determined by 1 -\text{probability of winning} = 1-0.54 = 0.46. So, if X wins exactly i times, then we should multiply the probabilities associated with

P(X=0) = \binom{3}{0} \times 0.46 \times 0.46 \times 0.46 = 0.0973

P(X=1) = \binom{3}{1} 0.54 \times 0.46 \times 0.46 = 0.3429

P(X=2) = \binom{3}{2} 0.54 \times 0.54 \times 0.46 = 0.4023

P(X=3) = \binom{3}{3} 0.54 \times 0.54 \times 0.54 = 0.1574

Now,

E(X) = \sum_{i=0}^{3} i \times P(X=i) = 1.6197

(b) Let Y denote the number of games won by Cubs. Then by the similar logic as above,

P(Y=3) = \binom{3}{0} 0.46 \times 0.46 \times 0.46 = 0.0973

P(Y=2) = \binom{3}{1} 0.54 \times 0.46 \times 0.46 = 0.3429

P(Y=1) = \binom{3}{2} 0.54 \times 0.54 \times 0.46 = 0.4023

P(Y=0) = \binom{3}{3} 0.54 \times 0.54 \times 0.54 = 0.1574

Now

E(Y) = \sum_{j=0}^{3} j \times P(Y=j) = 1.3803

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are told that the slope is 2 that means that the equation cannot be A.

The slope is the number in front of the x. So far what you know is that

y = 2x + b

b is found from the given point.

  • x = - 8
  • y = 7
  • 7 = 2*(-8) + b                 Expand the right side
  • 7 = - 16 + b                    Add 16 to  both sides
  • 7+16 = -16 + 16 + b        
  • 23 = b

answer y = 2x + 23

The answer is D

Simone claims that the slope of the line through (-2, 7) and (3, 0) is the same as the slope of the line through (2, 1) and (12,
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Simone is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Line 1:

(x_1,y_1) = (-2, 7)

(x_2,y_2) = (3, 0)

Line 2:

(x_1,y_1) = (2, 1)

(x_2,y_2) =(12, -13)

Required

Is Simone correct?

Slope (m) is calculated using:

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

For Line 1

m = \frac{0 - 7}{3 - (-2)}

m = \frac{0 - 7}{3 +2}

m = \frac{-7}{5}

m = -\frac{7}{5}

For Line 2:

m = \frac{-13 - 1}{12 -2}

m = \frac{-14}{10}

Divide by 2/2

m = \frac{-14/2}{10/2}

m = \frac{-7}{5}

m = -\frac{7}{5}

By comparison, both lines have the same slope.

Hence, Simone is correct

Find the parabola with equation y = ax2 + bx whose tangent line at (3, 12) has equation y = 10x − 18. y = incorrect: your answer
pishuonlain [190]
For these questions to be true and the equation of the tangent to have an equal y to the equation of the parabola i guess there has to be a "c" and in that case integrate the equation of the tangent you will have a = 5 and b = -18 then you substitute in the equation of the parabola with the point you have you will find that "c" = 21 and so the equation of the parabola becomes y = 5x^2 - 18 x +21
