Answer:

The standard deviation of the number of runs required is 2447.26

Step-by-step explanation:

For each run, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the program fails, or it does not. The probability of the computer failing during a run is independent of other runs. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The standard deviation for the expected number of trials for r sucesses is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{\frac{r(1-p)}{p^{2}}}

A computer program has a bug that causes it to fail once in every thousand runs, on average.

This means that p = \frac{1}{1000} = 0.001

In an effort to find the bug, independent runs of the program will be made until the program has failed six times. What is the standard deviation of the number of runs required?

This means that r = 6. So

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{\frac{6*0.999}{(0.001)^{2}}} = 2447.26

The standard deviation of the number of runs required is 2447.26

Which expression is equivalent to the following function?

<u>Answer </u>

B. f(x) = - (y/x)⁵

<u>Explanation</u>
A negative power means the reciprocal of that number raised to the positive value .
For example, a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ

So, for the question above.
f(x) = -(x/y)⁻⁵
      = - 1/(x/y)⁵
      = - (y/x)⁵

How do I differentiate this?​
disa [49]

Answer:

\frac{8}{\left(-x+2\right)^2} & x = 1, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm sure you are familiar with the product rule,

If y = u*v => dy/dx = u * dv/dx + v * dy/dx <----- product rule

In this case:

u=3x+2,\:v=\left(2-x\right)^{-1},\\=>\frac{d}{dx}\left(3x+2\right)\left(2-x\right)^{-1}+\frac{d}{dx}\left(\left(2-x\right)^{-1}\right)\left(3x+2\right)

Now remember the sum rule:

\frac{d}{dx}\left(3x+2\right) = \frac{d}{dx}\left(3x\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(2\right),\\\frac{d}{dx}\left(3x\right) = 3,\\\frac{d}{dx}\left(2\right)  = 0\\\frac{d}{dx}\left(3x+2\right) = 3

For this second bit we apply the chain rule:

\frac{d}{dx}\left(\left(2-x\right)^{-1}\right) = -\frac{1}{\left(2-x\right)^2}\frac{d}{dx}\left(2-x\right),\\\frac{d}{dx}\left(2-x\right) = -1,\\\\=> -\frac{1}{\left(2-x\right)^2}\left(-1\right)\\=> \frac{1}{\left(2-x\right)^2}

If we substitute these values back into the expression...\frac{d}{dx}\left(3x+2\right)\left(2-x\right)^{-1}+\frac{d}{dx}\left(\left(2-x\right)^{-1}\right)\left(3x+2\right)

...we get the following:

3\left(2-x\right)^{-1}+\frac{1}{\left(2-x\right)^2}\left(3x+2\right)

The rest is just pure simplification:

3\left(2-x\right)^{-1}+\frac{1}{\left(2-x\right)^2}\left(3x+2\right)\\= \frac{3}{-x+2}+\frac{3x+2}{\left(-x+2\right)^2}\\= \frac{3\left(-x+2\right)}{\left(-x+2\right)^2}+\frac{3x+2}{\left(-x+2\right)^2}\\\\= \frac{3\left(-x+2\right)+3x+2}{\left(-x+2\right)^2}\\\\= \frac{8}{\left(-x+2\right)^2}

Now let's equate this to equal 8 for the second bit and solve for x:

\frac{8}{\left(-x+2\right)^2}=8,\\\frac{8}{\left(-x+2\right)^2}\left(-x+2\right)^2=8\left(-x+2\right)^2,\\8=8\left(-x+2\right)^2,\\\left(-x+2\right)^2=1,\\x = 1, x = 3

I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST IN 5 MINUTES!<br> solve this and explain
miskamm [114]

Answer:

no, it's not.

Step-by-step explanation:

300- 284 = 16

284 - 236 = 48

236 - 156 = 80

156 - 44 = 112

for every one the top line goes up, the bottom line changes too, but it's not at a constant rate. it's not constant, therefore it cannot be linear.

the rate of change formula (or slope formula, they're the same thing) is :

y2- y1/ x2 -x1 and to solve it you plug in the points. x is the same a t and y is h

284-300/ 1-0

-16 /1

-16 (this is the rate of change between the first two points)

236- 284/ 2-1

-48/ 1

-48 (rate of change between the second and third points)

since the rate of change isn't constant, it's not possible for it to be a linear relationship.
