Area walkway = 69 × 2 = 138 feet^2
1 tile = 4 feet^2
4x = 138
138 ÷ 4 = 34.5 tiles (needs 35 tiles)
1x = 6
x = 6 (1 box have 6 tiles)
6y = 34.5
34.5 ÷ 6 = 5.75(needs 6 boxes)

First we should figure out how many times 2 goes into 69,(because each tile is 2 feet long) and I am going to do that by dividing 69 by 2. I got 34.5, so we can just say 35 to make it easier. So we now know we need 35 tiles, but they come in boxes of 6, so we will need to divide 35 by 6. It didn't make a full number (it was 5.833) but we need a full number of tiles so we will round up.

Our final number of how many boxes of tiles is 6.

For each given p, let ???? have a binomial distribution with parameters p and ????. Suppose that ???? is itself binomially distr
pshichka [43]

Answer:

See the proof below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question: "For each given p, let Z have a binomial distribution with parameters p and N. Suppose that N is itself binomially distributed with parameters q and M. Formulate Z as a random sum and show that Z has a binomial distribution with parameters pq and M."

Solution to the problem

For this case we can assume that we have N independent variables X_i with the following distribution:

X_i Bin (1,p) = Be(p) bernoulli on this case with probability of success p, and all the N variables are independent distributed. We can define the random variable Z like this:

Z = \sum_{i=1}^N X_i

From the info given we know that N \sim Bin (M,q)

We need to proof that Z \sim Bin (M, pq) by the definition of binomial random variable then we need to show that:

E(Z) = Mpq

Var (Z) = Mpq(1-pq)

The deduction is based on the definition of independent random variables, we can do this:

E(Z) = E(N) E(X) = Mq (p)= Mpq

And for the variance of Z we can do this:

Var(Z)_ = E(N) Var(X) + Var (N) [E(X)]^2

Var(Z) =Mpq [p(1-p)] + Mq(1-q) p^2

And if we take common factor Mpq we got:

Var(Z) =Mpq [(1-p) + (1-q)p]= Mpq[1-p +p-pq]= Mpq[1-pq]

And as we can see then we can conclude that   Z \sim Bin (M, pq)

What is the greatest common factor of the following monomials: 12g^5h^4 g^5h^2
muminat

Answer:

g^5h^2

Step-by-step explanation:

12g^5h^4, g^5h^2

This is one way of doing it. Break down every number and every variable into a product of the simplest factors. Then see how many of each factor appear in both monomials.

12g^5h^4 = 2 * 2 * 3 * g * g * g * g * g * h * h * h * h

g^5h^2 = g * g * g * g * g * h * h

So far you see every single prime factor of each monomial.

Now I will mark the ones that are present in both. Those are the common factors.

12g^5h^4 = 2 * 2 * 3 * g * g * g * g * g * h * h * h * h

g^5h^2 = g * g * g * g * g * h * h

The greatest common factor is the product of all the factors that appear in both monomials.

GCF = g * g * g * g * g * h * h = g^5h^2
