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

What is the exact value of sin -840
dsp73
First subtract  2 revolutions from the - 840 :-    (- (840-720)  = -120

This gives  sin -120  which is in the 3rd quadrant of the unit circle

sin -120  =  - sin 60  = - sqrt3/2

10 POINTS WILL MARK BRAINLIEST <br>Find the restriction on y=2x^2-8
borishaifa [10]
X cannot equal +2, and can't be -1. If you factor it, then you notice you get 2(x+2)(x-2). If you use either one for the x, one will be zero and the won't, and vise-versa.

Which graph shows the solution to this system of inequalities?<br> y &lt; 2x + 4<br> y &gt; -X -3
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The answer is Graph X.

  • Always start by isolating the variable \color{red}y on the left side of the inequality.
  • Change the inequality to equality symbol.
  • Graph the boundary line from step 2 in the XY-plane.
  • The last step is to shade one side or region of the boundary line.
