Consider the random experiment of tossing 3 fair coins and observing how many of them come to rest with the heads side of the co

in facing upwards. (Assume that each of the coins comes to rest with either its heads side or its tails side facing upwards (i.e., none of the coins comes to rest balanced on its edge).) Letting A denote the event that at least 1 of the coins comes to rest with its heads side upwards, B denote the event that none of the coins comes to rest with its heads side upwards, and S denote the sample space, which of the following statements does not include an abuse of notation?
a. S = 16
b. S = AUB
c. S - 4
d. S = 3
e. P(B) = φ

Answer:

b. S = AUB

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the coins are tossed  3 times and each coin has head, H and tail, T(2 sides), the sample space is S = 2 × 2 × 2 = 2³ = 8

All the possible outcomes are HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT and TTT

Since S denote the sample space

S = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT, TTT}

Since A denote the event that at least 1 of the coins comes to rest with its heads side upwards, the possible outcomes are HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH and THT

So, A = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT}

Also B denote the event that none of the coins comes to rest with its heads side upwards, that is no heads. The possible outcome is TTT

So, B = {TTT}

Since S denote the sample space

S = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT, TTT}

So, A ∪ B = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT} ∪  {TTT} = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT, TTT} = S

So, S = A ∪ B

So, S = A ∪ B does not denote an abuse of notation.

The answer is b.

Triangle EFG is dilated by a scale factor of 3 centered at (0, 1) to create triangle E'F'G'. Which statement is true about the d
lesya [120]

Answer:

segment EH and segment E prime H prime both pass through the center of dilation.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Center of dilation is point (0.1), same as H. Both, E(0,5) and H(0,1) are placed over y-axis, then E' and H' are also located at y-axis.

After dilation, H' is placed at (0,1) because it coincides with the center of dilation

Distance between E and center of dilation is 4 units, then E' should be at 4*3=12 units from the center of dilation and over y-axis. Therefore, E' is placed at (0, 13)

So, segment E'H' goes from (0,1) to (0,13), and pass through the center of dilation, like segment EH.

A sample of blood pressure measurements is taken from a data set and those values​ (mm Hg) are listed below. The values are matc
swat32

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Systolic. Calculate the mean

118+128+158+96+156+122+116+136+126+120+

=1276÷10 = 127.6.

To calculate the median arrange the values from the lowest to the highest.

96,116,118,120,122,126,128,136,156,158.

122+126+2=124.

Disastolic

80+76+74+52+90+88+58+64+72+82= 736÷10=73.6

To calculate the median arrange the values from the lowest to the highest.

52,58,64,72,74,76,80,82,88,90

Median= 74+76=150÷2=75.

Comparison

The Systolic and diastolic blood pressure measures different things, so comparing them is of no use.

It will be good if the relationship between the blood pressure can be investigated because the data are in pairs.
