You are correct

for example f(1) = 3

and   f(2) = f(2-1) - 2

= f(1) - 2

= 3 - 2 = 1

f(n) = f(n-1) - 2

f(1) = 3        eq1

f(2) = f(2-1) - 2

     = f(1) - 2.   put value from eq1 here

     = 3 - 2

     = 1

f(3) = f ( 3 - 1 ) - 2

     = f(2) - 2

     = 1 - 2

     = -1

f(4) = f( 4 -1 ) - 2

     = f( 3 ) - 2

     =  -1 - 2

     = -3

This was very hard for me please help thanks.​

Step-by-step explanation:

m<5 = 60 (<5 & 60deg < are vertical)

m<6 = 120 (<s 5 and 6 are a linear pair)

m<9 = 120 (<s 6 and 9 are vertical)

m<4 = 80 (<s 4 and 80 deg < are vertical)

m<7 = 100 (<7 and 80 deg < are linear pair)

m<10 = 100 (<s 7 and 10 are vertical <s)

m<8 = 60 (<s 5 and 8 are corresp <s)

m<3 = 80 (80 deg <3 are corresp <s)

m<2 = 40 (80 + 60 + m<2 = 180)

m<1 = 60 (<s 1 & 5 are alt int <s)

What is the probability of these events when we randomly select a permutation of {1,2, ..., n} where n≥4? a) 1 precedes 2 c) 1 i
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

a) 1/2

b) 1/n

c) 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) For each permutation, either 1 precedes 2 or 2 precedes 1. For each permutation in which 1 precedes 2, we can swap 1 and 2 to obtain a permutation in which 2 preceds 1. Thus, half of the total permutations will involve in 1 preceding 2, hence, the probability for a permutation having 1 before 2 is 1/2.

c) If 2 is at the start of the permutation, then it is impossible for 1 to be before 2. If that is not the case, then 1 has a probability of 1/n-1 to be exactly in the position before 2. We can divide in 2 cases using the theorem of total probability,

P( 1 immediately preceds 2) = P (1 immediately precedes 2 | 2 is at position 1) * P(2 is at position 1) + P(1 immediately precedes 2 | 2 is not at position 1) * P(2 is not at position 1) = 0 * 1/n + (1/n-1)*(n-1/n) = 1/n.

d) We can divide the total of permutations in 4 different groups with equal cardinality:

  • Those in which n precedes 1 and n-1 precedes 2
  • those in which n precedes 1 and 2 precedes n-1
  • those in which 1 precedes n and n-1 precedes 2
  • those in which 1 precedes n and 2 precedes n-1

All this groups have equal cardinality because we can obtain any element from one group from another by making a permutations between 1 and n and/or 2 and n-1.

This means that the total amount of favourable cases (elements of the first group) are a quarter of the total, hence, the probability of the event is 1/4.
