We have a three unknown, 4 equation homogeneous system. These always have at least (0,0,0) as a solution. Let's write the equations, one column at a time.
1a + 0b + 0c = 0
-1a + 1b +0c = 0
0a - 1b + c = 0
0a + 0b + -1 c = 0
We could do row reduction but these are easy enough not to bother.
Equation 1 says
a = 0
Equation 4 says
c = 0
Substituting in the two remaining,
-1(0) + 1b + 0c = 0
b = 0
0(0) - 1b + 0 = 0
b = 0
The only 3-tuple satisfying the vector equation is (a,b,c)=(0,0,0)
Answer:
a) P ( 3 ≤X≤ 5 ) = 0.02619
b) E(X) = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- The CDF of a random variable X = { 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , .... } is given as:
Find:
a.Calculate the probability that 3 ≤X≤ 5
b) Find the expected value of X, E(X), using the fact that. (Hint: You will have to evaluate an infinite sum, but that will be easy to do if you notice that
Solution:
- The CDF gives the probability of (X < x) for any value of x. So to compute the P ( 3 ≤X≤ 5 ) we will set the limits.

- The Expected Value can be determined by sum to infinity of CDF:
E(X) = Σ ( 1 - F(X) )

E(X) = Limit n->∞ [1 - 1 / ( n + 2 ) ]
E(X) = 1
Answer:
0.0111% probability that he answers at least 10 questions correctly
Step-by-step explanation:
For each question, there are only two outcomes. Either it is answered correctly, or it is not. The probability of a question being answered correctly is independent from other questions. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

In which
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.
A multiple-choice examination has 15 questions, each with five answers, only one of which is correct.
This means that 
What is the probability that he answers at least 10 questions correctly?









0.0111% probability that he answers at least 10 questions correctly
slope intercept form: y=mx+b
y=2x-3
slope is also m
b is the y-intercept
answer:
slope is 2
y-intercept is -3
