Answer:
a₁ = 37
Step-by-step explanation:
In an arithmetic progression the common difference d is
d = a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ , that is
2x - 18 - (x + 1) = 2x - 1 - (2x - 18) ← distribute and simplify both sides
2x - 18 - x - 1 = 2x - 1 - 2x + 18
x - 19 = 17 ( add 19 to both sides )
x = 36
Thus
a₁ = x + 1 = 36 + 1 = 37
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Positive integers have values greater than zero. Negative integers have values less than zero.
Answer:
Option 4) 
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If two figures are similar then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared
Let
z------> the scale factor
x-----> the area of the dilated rectangle
y----> the area of the original rectangle
so
we have
substitute and solve for x
Answer:
μ₁`= 1/6
μ₂= 5/36
Step-by-step explanation:
The rolling of a fair die is described by the binomial distribution, as the
- the probability of success remains constant for all trials, p.
- the successive trials are all independent
- the experiment is repeated a fixed number of times
- there are two outcomes success, p, and failure ,q.
The moment generating function of the binomial distribution is derived as below
M₀(t) = E (e^tx)
= ∑ (e^tx) (nCx)pˣ (q^n-x)
= ∑ (e^tx) (nCx)(pe^t)ˣ (q^n-x)
= (q+pe^t)^n
the expansion of the binomial is purely algebraic and needs not to be interpreted in terms of probabilities.
We get the moments by differentiating the M₀(t) once, twice with respect to t and putting t= 0
μ₁`= E (x) = [ d/dt (q+pe^t)^n] t= 0
= np
μ₂`= E (x)² =[ d²/dt² (q+pe^t)^n] t= 0
= np +n(n-1)p²
μ₂=μ₂`-μ₁` =npq
in similar way the higher moments are obtained.
μ₁`=1(1/6)= 1/6
μ₂= 1(1/6)5/6
= 5/36
