A coin is to be tossed as many times as necessary to turn up one head. Thus the elements c of the sample space C are H, TH, TTH,

TTTH, and so forth. Let the probability set function P assign to these elements the respective probabilities 1 2 , 1 4 , 1 8 , 1 16 , and so forth. Show that P(C) = 1. Let C1 = {c : c is H,TH,TTH,TTTH, or TTTTH}. Compute P(C1). Next, suppose that C2 = {c : c is TTTTH or TTTTTH}. Compute P(C2), P(C1 ∩ C2), and P(C1 ∪ C2).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As stated in the question, the probability to toss a coin and turn up heads in the first try is \frac{1}{2}, in the second is \frac{1}{4}, in the third is \frac{1}{8} and so on. Then, P(C) is given by the next sum:

P(C)=\sum^{\infty}_{n=1}(\frac{1}{2} )^{n}=1

This is a geometric series with factor \frac{1}{2}. Then is convergent to \frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{2}}-1=1.. With this we have proved that P(C)=1.

Now, observe that

P(H)=\frac{1}{2}, P(TH)=\frac{1}{4},P(TTH)=\frac{1}{8},P(TTTH)=\frac{1}{16},P(TTTTH)=\frac{1}{32},P(TTTTTH)=\frac{1}{64}.

Then

P(C1)=P(H)+P(TH)+P(TTH)+P(TTTH)+P(TTTTH)=\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{8} +\frac{1}{16} +\frac{1}{32} =\frac{31}{32}

P(C2)=P(TTTTH)+P(TTTTTH)=\frac{1}{32}+\frac{1}{64} =\frac{3}{64}

P(C1\cap C2)=P(TTTTH)=\frac{1}{32}

and

P(C1\cup C2)=P(H)+P(TH)+P(TTH)+P(TTTH)+P(TTTTH)+P(TTTTTH)=\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{8} +\frac{1}{16} +\frac{1}{32} +\frac{1}{64}=\frac{63}{64}

The point P = (-3, y) lies on the unit circle shown below. What is the value of y
alukav5142 [94]

The equation of the circle is given as (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r². Then the value of y will be ± √5/3.

<h3>What is an equation of a circle?</h3>

A circle can be characterized by its center's location and its radius's length.

Let the center of the considered circle be at (h, k) coordinate.

Let the radius of the circle be 'r' units.

Then, the equation of that circle would be:

(x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²

The equation of the circle has the center at the origin and the radius is one unit. Then we have

x² + y² = 1

The point P = (-2/3, y) lies on the unit circle. Then the value of y will be

(-2/3)² + y² = 1

y² = 1 - 4/9

y² = 5/9

y = ± √5 / 9
