How do I find the lengths of A and B?

11111nata11111 [884]

All you have to do it Identify the legs and the hypotenuse of the triangle. You know that the triangle is a right triangle since the ground and the raised portion of the porch are perpendicular—this means you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem. Identify a, b, and c. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of c.

Consider a discrete random variable x with pmf px (1) = c 3 ; px (2) = c 6 ; px (5) = c 3 and 0 otherwise, where c is a positive

PtichkaEL [24]

Looks like the PMF is supposed to be

$\mathbb P(X=x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac c3&\text{for }x\in\{1,5\}\\\\\dfrac c6&\text{for }x=2\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

which is kinda weird, but it's not entirely clear what you meant...

Anyway, assuming the PMF above, for this to be a valid PMF, we need the probabilities of all events to sum to 1:

$\displaystyle\sum_{x\in\{1,2,5\}}\mathbb P(X=x)=\dfrac c3+\dfrac c6+\dfrac c3=\dfrac{5c}6=1\implies c=\dfrac65$

Next,

$\mathbb P(X>2)=\mathbb P(X=5)=\dfrac c3=\dfrac25$

$\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle\sum_{x\in\{1,2,5\}}x\,\mathbb P(X=x)=\dfrac c3+\dfrac{2c}6+\dfrac{5c}3=\dfrac{7c}3=\dfrac{14}5$

$\mathbb V(X)=\mathbb E\bigg((X-\mathbb E(X))^2\bigg)=\mathbb E(X^2)-\mathbb E(X)^2$
$\mathbb E(X^2)=\displaystyle\sum_{x\in\{1,2,5\}}x^2\,\mathbb P(X=x)=\dfrac c3+\dfrac{4c}6+\dfrac{25c}3=\dfrac{28c}3=\dfrac{56}5$
$\implies\mathbb V(X)=\dfrac{56}5-\left(\dfrac{14}5\right)^2=\dfrac{84}{25}$

If $Y=X^2+1$ , then $X^2=Y-1\implies X=\sqrt{Y-1}$ , where we take the positive root because we know $X$ can only take on positive values, namely 1, 2, and 5. Correspondingly, we know that $Y$ can take on the values $1^2+1=2$ , $2^2+1=5$ , and $5^2+1=26$ . At these values of $Y$ , we would have the same probability as we did for the respective value of $X$ . That is,

$\mathbb P(Y=y)=\begin{cases}\dfrac c3&\text{for }y=2\\\\\dfrac c6&\text{for }y=5\\\\\dfrac c3&\text{for }y=26\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

Part (5) is incomplete, so I'll stop here.

3+ jk + k*3 when j=2 and k=6

Licemer1 [7]

The answer is 39, jk=18 because j multiplied by k is 18 and then i added 3 and i got 21, then k (6) multiplied by 3 is 18, so then i added 21 and 18 and i got 39
