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

At noon a tank contains 6 cm of water after several hours it contains 3 cm of water what is the percent inecrease of water in th
Hitman42 [59]

Question:

At noon a tank contains 6 cm of water after several hours it contains 3 cm of water what is the percent decrease of water in the tank

Answer:

The percent Decrease of water in the tank  is 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial amount of water in the tank at the noon = 6 cm

amount of water remained in water after several hours = 3 cm

To Find:

The percent decrease =?

Solution:

The percent decrease in the tank

=>\frac{\text {water present after some hours }}{\text {initial water contained in the tank }} \times 100

Substituting the values

=>\frac{3}{6} \times 100

=>\frac{1}{2} \times 100

=>\frac{100}{2}

=> 50

Find the area of a parallelogram with base 15 yards and height 21 2/3
icang [17]

Answer:

A = 325 yd^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is found by multiplying the base times the height

A = bh

A = 15* 21 2/3

Changing the mixed number to an improper fraction

21 2/3 = (3*21+2)/3 = 65/3

A = 15 * 65/3 = 15/3 *65 = 5*65 =325

A = 325 yd^2
