Every​ morning, my neighbor goes out walking. I observe that​ 20% of the time she walks with her​ beagle, 70% of the time she wa

lks with her golden​ retriever, and​ 30% of the time she walks alone. If these events are all​ disjoint, is this an example of a valid probability​ distribution?

Answer:

No, This is not a valid Probability Distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability [Neighbour walks with Beagle] = 20%

Probability [Neighbour walks with Golden Retriever] = 70%

Probability [Neighbour walks alone] = 30%

Disjoint Events are the events that have zero probability of occurring together. If all the three above items are disjoint, it means that it can never happen that two of them happen together.

The total (summed) probability of a valid probability distribution, with disjoint sets = 1 . In given case, total probability = 0.2 + 0.7 + 0.3 = 1.2 ; i.e > 1.

So, this probability distribution with stated disjoint events is not a Valid Probability distribution.

A business buys a computer for $3,000. After 4 years the value of the computer is expected to be $250. The value, v, can be rela
yuradex [85]

You are given two points in the linear function. At time 0 years, the value is $3000. At time 4 years, the value is $250. This means you have points (0, 3000) and (4, 250). You need to find the equation of the line that passes through those two points.

y = mx + b

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (3000 - 250)/(0 - 4) = 2750/(-4) = -687.5

Use point (0, 3000).

3000 = -687.5(0) + b

b = 3000

The equation is

y = -687.5x + 3000

Since we are using points (t, v) instead of (x, y), we have:

v = -687.5t + 3000

Answer: d. v = -687.50 t + 3,000
