Answer:

Some details are missing

Step-by-step explanation:

An ordinary (fair) coin is tossed 3 times. Outcomes are thus triples of "heads" (h) and "tails) (t) which we write hth, ttt, etc. For each outcome, let R be the random variable counting the number of heads in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is hht, then R(hht) = 2. Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of R as follows: X = 2R² - 6R - 1. The values of X are thus:

Outcome: || Value of X

tht || -5

thh || -5

hth || -5

htt || -5

hhh || -1

tth || -5

hht || -5

ttt || -1

Calculate the probability distribution function of X, i.e. the function Px (x). First, fill in the first row with the values of X. Then fill in the appropriate probabilities in the second row.

Solution

To calculate the probability distribution function of X.

We have to observe the total outcomes to check the number of "Heads (h) " in each outcome.

The first, fourth and, sixth outcome has 1 head (h)

The second, third and seventh outcome has 2 head (hh)

The fifth outcome has 3 head (hhh)

The eight outcome has 0 appearance of h

We then solve the probability of each occurrence

i.e. The probability of having h, hh, hhh and no occurrence of h

This will be represented as follows

P(h=0)

P(h=1)

P(h=2)

P(h=3)

In a coin, the probability of getting a head = ½ and the probability of getting a tail = ½ in 1 toss

Using the following formula

P(X=x) = nCr a^r * b ^ (n-r)

Where n represents total number of toss = 3

r represents number of occurrence

a represents getting a head = ½

b represents probability of getting a tail = ½

1. For h = 0

P(h=0) = 3C0 * ½^0 * ½³

P(h=0) = 1 * 1 * ⅛

P(h=0) = ⅛

2. For h = 1

P(h=1) = 3C1 * ½^1 * ½²

P(h=1) = 3 * ½ * ¼

P(h=1) = ⅜

3. P(h=2) = 3C2 * ½² * ½^1

P(h=2) = 3 * ¼ * ½

P(h=2) = ⅜

4.P(h=3) = 3C3 * ½³ * ½^0

P(h=0) = 1 * ⅛ * 1

P(h=0) = ⅛

It should be noted that when X is -5, h is either 1 or 2 and P(X) = ⅜

When X is -1, h is either 0 or 3 and P(X) = ⅛

The probability distribution function of X is as follows

Values of X || P(x)

-5 || ⅜

1 || ⅛

Consider a triangle with two sides that
AURORKA [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  C)  14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle solver can quickly show you the third side is 14 cm.

__

The law of cosines can be used for this purpose. If the given sides are 'a' and 'b', and the third side is 'c', then that law tells you ...

  c² = a² +b² -2ab·cos(C)

  c² = 7² +11² -2·7·11·cos(100°) ≈ 196.74

  c ≈ √196.74 ≈ 14.03

The length of the third side is about 14 cm.

Lesson 2-3
malfutka [58]

Answer:

18. g= -3

19. x= -1

20. n= 3

21. p= -1

22. d= -3

23. a= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

how to solve the variable (using 18 as an example)

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

20+g+g=14

(g+g)+(20)=14(combine like terms)

2g+20=14

2g+20=14

step 2: subtract 20 from both sides.

2g+20−20=14−20

2g=−6

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2g/2 = -6/2

How can you convert the Heun’s Method into the Implicit Heun’s Method? Show an example
g100num [7]

Answer:

Heun's method is also known by its other name called Modified Euler methods. This method is used in computational or mathematical science.

Step-by-step explanation:

Euler method is the method that is also pronounced in two similar stages such as Runge- Kutta methods. This method has been named after Dr. Heun.

This method is used for the solution of ordinary differential equations with its given values. There is some method to calculate this method. The improved Runge Kutta methods are also called the Butcher tableau method, the other methods are also called the Ralston methods.
