The correct answer is:

Any real number for x except 5, and any real number for y.

Explanation:

A function is a relation in which each element of the domain, or x-value, is mapped to one element of the range, or y-value. This means that no x can be mapped to more than one y, so if we have the same number used twice for x, we do not have a function.

This means that 5 cannot be used for x in the other ordered pair.

Since there is no restriction on y in order to be a function, y can be any real number.

Answer:

Correct option: A. P=0.057

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial Distribution

The binomial distribution fits the case of n independent events each one with a probability of success equal to p where k successes have been achieved.

The PMF (Probability Mass Function) of the binomial distribution is

$\displaystyle P(k,n,p)=\binom{n}{k}p^kq^{n-k}$

Where $q = 1-p$

The individual probability that an electronic device does not function properly is p=0.1. We know n=10 devices have been bought and we want to compute the probability that 7 devices function properly. Please notice that this is not the value of k since p is the probability of failure. The correct value of k=10-7=3. The required probability is

$\displaystyle P(3,10,0.1)=\binom{10}{3}0.1^30.9^{10-3}$

$\boxed{P=0.057}$

liraira [26]

Answer:

Lo's answer is correct and it is a translation because applying the rule (x+4, y+8) on the coordinates N(-2, -4) will gives us N'(2,4).

Step-by-step explanation:

i) though Raheem is mathematically correct the question asks for a translation which means that we can only use addition and/or subtraction and not multiplication. So Raheem's answer is therefore incorrect.

ii) Casey's answer is incorrect as applying the rule (x+2, y+4) on the coordinates N(-2, -4) will gives us (0,0) and not N'(2,4)

iii) Andrew's answer is also incorrect as applying the rule (x+4, y+0) on the coordinates N(-2, -4) will gives us (2,-4) and not N'(2,4).

iv) Lo's answer is correct and it is a translation because applying the rule (x+4, y+8) on the coordinates N(-2, -4) will gives us N'(2,4).
