consider a sequence of independent tosses of a biased coin at times k=0,1,2,…,n. On each toss, the probability of Heads is p, an

d the probability of Tails is 1−p.A reward of one unit is given at time k, for k∈{1,2,…,n}, if the toss at time k resulted in Tails and the toss at time k−1 resulted in Heads. Otherwise, no reward is given at time k.Let R be the sum of the rewards collected at times 1,2,…,n.We will find E[R] and var(R) by carrying out a sequence of steps. Express your answers below in terms of p and/or n using standard notation. Remember to write '*' for all multiplications and to include parentheses where necessary.We first work towards finding E[R].1. Let Ik denote the reward (possibly 0) given at time k, for k∈{1,2,…,n}.

Answer:

1. p*(1-p)

2. n*p*(1-p)

3. p*(1-p)

4. 0

5. p^2*(1-p)^2

6. 57/64

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let Ik denote the reward (possibly 0) given at time k, for k∈{1,2,…,n}. Find E[Ik].

E[Ik]=  p*(1-p)

2. Using the answer to part 1, find E[R].

E[R]=  n*p*(1-p)

The variance calculation is more involved because the random variables I1,I2,…,In are not independent. We begin by computing the following values.

3. If k∈{1,2,…,n}, then

E[I2k]= p*(1-p)  

4. If k∈{1,2,…,n−1}, then

E[IkIk+1]=  0

5. If k≥1, ℓ≥2, and k+ℓ≤n, then

E[IkIk+ℓ]=  p^2*(1-p)^2

6. Using the results above, calculate the numerical value of var(R) assuming that p=3/4, n=10.

var(R)= 57/64

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: D. 0.9967

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this, you need to do the z-score formula with both numbers. So 30-22/2.5 = 3.2. On the z-score chart, that equals .9993. Hold onto that number. Then you do the same with 15. 15-22/2.5 = -2.8. On the z score chart, that equals .0026. Subtract those numbers. .9993 - .0026 = .9967. It's not as compacted as it looks <3

What is the value of z in the equation 2(4z − 3 − 1) = 166 − 46?
shepuryov [24]

Refine 2(4z-3-1)

= 2(4z-4)

Refine : 166 - 16 = 120

therefore:

2(z-4) = 120

Divide both sides by  2 :

\frac{2(z-4)}{2} =  \frac{120}{2}

4z-4 = 60

add 4  to both sides:

4z-4+4 = 60+4

4z = 64

Divide both sides by 4 :

\frac{4z}{4} =  \frac{64}{4}

z = 16

hope this helps!

Which of the following equations is the result of completing the square on x^2 - 6x - 9 = 0?
lina2011 [118]
X² - 6x - 9 = 0
x² - 3x - 3x - 9 = 0
x (x-3) -3(x + 3) = 0
(x - 3)² = 0

In short, Your Answer would be Option A

Hope this helps!

Norma bought 1 3/4 yards of cotton fabric and 3 3/8 yards of fleece fabric.
aalyn [17]
1 3/4 + 3 3/8 
get a common denominator by multiplying 1 3/4 by 2 to get a denominator of 8
1 3/4 becomes 1 6/8
1 6/8 + 3 3/8 = 5 1/8 yards
so the answer is 
C. 5 1 / 8 Yards
