P(A)=0.4 and P(B)=0.6. What is the probability of observing event B three times in a row?

1 answer:

Daniel [21]2 years ago

Answer:

0.216

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcome to the number of total outcome.

The probability that an event will happen added to the probability that the event will not happen gives 1. In other words, the outcome of a probability cannot exceed 1.

The probability that an event a will happen or that another independent event b will happen is the sum of the probability that a will happen to the probability that b will happen.

The probability that the event B will occur 3 times in a row may be interpreted as BBB and in probability, "and" is interpreted as multiplication while "or" is addition.

Pr(BBB)

= 0.6 * 0.6 * 0.6

= 0.216

Graph the inverse of the function.

Ghella [55]

Answer:

The graph of the inverse function is the same that the graph of the original function

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the equation of the function in the graph

Let

f(x) ---> the function in the graph

we know that

Is a linear function

take the points (0,6) and (6,0)

<em>Find the slope of the linear function</em>

$m=(0-6)/(6-0)\\m=-1$

<em>Find the the equation of the linear function in slope intercept form</em>

$f(x)=mx+b$

we have

$m=-1$

$b=6$ ---> the y-intercept is given

substitute

$f(x)=-x+6$

step 2

Find the inverse of the function f(x)

Let

y=f(x)

$y=-x+6$

<em>Exchange the variables (x for y and y for x)</em>

$x=-y+6$

Isolate the variable y

$y=-x+6$

Let

$f^{-1}(x)=y$

$f^{-1}(x)=-x+6$

$f^{-1}(x)=f(x)$

In this problem the graph of the inverse function is the same that the graph of the original function
