Summary

Interest in the linguistics of humor is widespread and dates since classical times. Several theoretical models have been proposed to describe and explain the function of humor in language. The most widely adopted one, the semantic-script theory of humor, was presented by Victor Raskin, in 1985. Its expansion, to incorporate a broader gamut of information, is known as the General Theory of Verbal Humor. Other approaches are emerging, especially in cognitive and corpus linguistics. Within applied linguistics, the predominant approach is an analysis of conversation and discourse, with a focus on the disparate functions of humor in conversation. Speakers may use humor pro-socially, to build in-group solidarity, or anti-socially, to exclude and denigrate the targets of the humor. Most of the research has focused on how humor is co-constructed and used among friends, and how speakers support it. Increasingly, corpus-supported research is beginning to reshape the field, introducing quantitative concerns, as well as multimodal data and analyses. Overall, the linguistics of humor is a dynamic and rapidly changing field.Step-by-step explanation:

Real estate ads suggest that 56 % of homes for sale have garages, 27 % have swimming pools, and 16 % have both features. a) W

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

a) 0.4

b) 0.28

c) The events are not independent

d) The events are not mutually exclusive

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

Lets call:

Gar = {homes with garage}

Pool = {homes with pool},

A = {homes with pool and garage} = Gar ∩ Pool

The data we are given is:

P(Gar) = 0.56

P(Pool) = 0.27

P(A) = 0.16

a) B = {homes with garage but not pool}. This set B is the set Gar without set A: B = Gar / A

P(B) = P(Gar) - P(A) = 0.4

b) This is a conditional probability:

P(Pool | Gar) = P(Gar ∩ Pool) / P(Gar) = 0.16/0.56 = 0.28

c) To be independent events, it must be, by definition:

P(Gar ∩ Pool) = P(Gar) * P(Pool)

0.16 ≠ 0.56*0.27 = 0.15

Then, the events Gar and Pool are not independent

d) Gar and Pool are not mutually exclusive, because there are houses with both pool and garage. We know that because P(A) is not zero.

Select the two binomials that are factors of this trinomial x2+10x+16

Zigmanuir [339]

So for this trinomial, I will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of 16x^2 and a sum of 10x? That would be 8x and 2x. Replace 10x with 2x + 8x:

$x^2+2x+8x+16$

Next, factor x^2 + 2x and 8x + 16 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside the parentheses: $x(x+2)+8(x+2)$

<u>Now you can rewrite this as $(x+8)(x+2)$ , which is your final answer.</u>
