A student takes the same street from his home to the university every day. There are 3 streetlights along the way, and he has no

ticed the following Markov dependence. If he sees a green light at an intersection, then 77% of time the next light is also green. However, if he sees a red light, then 77% of time the next light is also red. (Assume the chance of him seeing a yellow light is zero.) If the first light is green, what is the probability that the third light is red

Answer:

0.3542 = 35.42% probability that the third light is red

Step-by-step explanation:

For each light:

If it is green, 77% probability that the next is green.

If it is red, 77% probability that the next is red.

If the first light is green, what is the probability that the third light is red?

These following outcomes are desired, for the second and third lights:

G - R(0.77, then 1 - 0.77 = 0.23 probability)

R - R(0.23, then 0.77 probability).

So the desired probability is:

p = 0.77*0.23 + 0.23*0.77 = 0.3542

0.3542 = 35.42% probability that the third light is red

Answer:

  • fraction
  • denominator
  • product
  • numerator

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply a <u>fraction</u> by a whole number, the denominator in the product is the same as the <u>denominator</u> of the fraction. The numerator in the product is the <u>product</u> of the whole number and the <u>numerator</u> of the fraction.

__

That's the rule. It is derived from the fact that multiplication indicates repeated addition.

  \dfrac{2}{7}\times3=\dfrac{2}{7}+\dfrac{2}{7}+\dfrac{2}{7}=\dfrac{2+2+2}{7}=\dfrac{2\times3}{7}\qquad\text{for example}

Roberta needs 355 beads a large box holds 100 beads a medium box hold 10 a small box hold 1 Roberta already has 3 large boxes an
Phantasy [73]
I think that she would need 5 medium boxes because

3 large = 300 beads
5 medium= 50 beads
5 small = 05 beads
that all = 355 beads in total

Need to know the answer
loris [4]

Answer:

Please find attached the required graph of the equation, y = x² - 2·x - 8, created using MS Excel

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function required to be plot is y = x² - 2·x - 8

Therefore, the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola formed by the equation (h, k) is given as follows;

h = -(-2)/(2×1) = 1

k = 1² - 2×1 - 8 = -9

The coordinates of the vertex = (1, -9)

The roots of the equation is given when y = 0, as follows;

At the roots, we have;

x² - 2·x - 8 = 0

By factorizing, we get

x² - 2·x - 8 = (x - 4)·(x + 2) = 0

Therefore. the roots of the equation are;

x = 4, and x = -2

The coordinates of the roots are;

(4, 0), and (-2, 0)

Two other points can be found at when x = 3 and when x = 0 as follows;

When x = 3, we have;

y = 3² - 2×3 - 8 = -5

(3, -5)

When x  = 0, we have;

y = 0² - 2×0 - 8 = -8

(0, -8)

The five points are;

(1, -9), (4, 0), (-2, 0), (3, -5), (0, -8)

The graph of the equation created using MS Excel showing the five points is attached.

Find the lengths of the segments with variable expressions
nlexa [21]

Answer:

EF = 7 units

AD =  3 units

BC =  11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is an isosceles trapezoid and the midsegment is x, the sum of the bases divided by 1/2 is the value of the midsegment, x.

x = 1/2(x-4 + 2x-3)

x = 1/2x - 2 + x - 1 1/2

x = 1 1/2 x - 3.5

-1/2 x = -3.5

x = 7 units

EF = 7 units

AD = 7-4 = 3 units

BC = 2(7) - 3 = 11 units

Identify the slope and y-intercept of the function y=-5x+4 (brainlyest to correct answer)
borishaifa [10]

Answer: A. The slope is -5, and the y-intercept is (0,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

In standard form, a function is written as y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = the y-intercept

With that in mind, the m value is -5 and the b value is 4

Thus, the slope is -5, and the y-intercept is (0,4)
