Answer:

Both of them are NOT equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property to see if 5(x - 1) and 5x - 1 were equivalent.

5(x - 1)

= 5x - 5

This tells us 5(x - 1) is not equivalent to 5x - 1.

In the transmission of digital information, the probability that a bit has high, moderate, and low distortion is 0.02, 0.07, and

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

A. (Table Attached)

B. (See Step 3)

C. 0.06 (See Step 4)

D. NOT independent (See Step 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Name the probabilities:

p₁ = 0.02, p₂ = 0.07, p₃ = 0.91

q₁ = 1-p₁ = 0.98 , q₂ = 1-p₂ = 0.93 , q₃ = 0.09

Let X and Y be the number of bits with high and moderate distortion out of three.

The function will follow multinomial distribution:

$f_{XY}(x,y) = P(X=x, Y=y) = \frac{3!}{x!y!(3-x-y)!} (p_1^x)(p_2^y)(p_3^{3-x-y})$

Substitute the values and make a table.

TABLE IN ATTACHMENT

We calculate marginal distribution by:

$P (X=x)=$ <em>∑</em> $P(X=x,Y=y)$

$fx(x)$ can be found by adding all the probabilities in each row for different value of X

For X=0 , ∑P = 0.94157441

For X=1 , ∑P = 0.057624

For X=2 , ∑P = 0.001176

For X=3 , ∑P =0.000008

The mathematic expectation E is the sum of product of each possibility with its probabiity.

$E(X)=$ <em>∑ </em> $xP(X=x)$

Find E(X):

$E(X)= (0*0.9415744)+(1*0.057624)+(2*0.001176)+(3*0.000008)$

$E(X)=0.06$

Condition probability states:

$P(A|B)=\frac{P(A,B)}{P(B)}$

It can also be written as:

$f_{Y|X=1}(y)=\frac{f_{XY}(1,y)}{f_x(1)}$

Where $f_x(1)\\$ = 0.057624

Calculate the quotient:

$Y|_{x=1}$ = 0 , $f_{Y|_X=1$ = 0.862245

$Y|_{x=1}$ = 1 , $f_{Y|_X=1$ = 0.132653

$Y|_{x=1}$ = 2 , $f_{Y|_X=1$ = 0.000510

$Y|_{x=1}$ = 3 , $f_{Y|_X=1$ = 0

Find the dependency:

$f_{XY}(y)=f_X(x)f_Y(y)$

We found that

$f_{Y|_X=1$ = 0.862245

Calculate $f_Y(1)$ from summing the column from the table

$f_Y(1)=0.17428341+0.007644+0.000084\\f_Y(1)=0.18201141$

Which are not equal.

Conclusion:

X and Y are NOT Independent

vodomira [7]

Answer:

k = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line passing through the points A (-1,3k) and B (k , 3) is parallel to the line whose equation is 2y+3x=9, then their slopes are equal

For coordinate AB;

slope m1 = 3 - 3k/k-(-1)

m1 = 3-3k/k+1

For the line 2y+3x = 9

2y = -3x + 9

y = -3/2 x + 9/2

Slope m2 = -3/2

Since m1 = m2

3-3k/k+1 = -3/2

Cross multiply

2(3-3k) = -3(k+1)

Expand

6 - 6k = -3k - 3

-6k+3k = -3 - 6

-3k = -9

k = -9/-3

k = 3

Hence the value of k is 3

schepotkina [342]

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-3x +5x -15=33

x²-3x+5x=33+15

x²-3x+5x=48

x²+2x=48

divide both sides by 2

x²+x =24

x²= 24

x= ✓24
