Suppose I have an urn with 9 balls: 4 green, 3 yellow and 2 white ones. I draw a ball from the urn repeatedly with replacement.

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

$E(X_n)=\frac{2(n-1)}{27}$

$E(y)=\frac{14}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sample size n=9

Number of Green $g=4$

Number of yellow $y=4$

Number of white $w=4$

Probability of Green Followed by yellow P(GY) ball

$P(GY)=\frac{4}{9}*\frac{3}{9}$

$P(GY)=\frac{4}{27}$

Generally the equations for when n is even is mathematically given by

$Probability of success P(S)=\frac{4}{27}$

$Probability of Failure P(F)=\frac{27-4}{27}$

$Probability of Failure P(F)=\frac{23}{27}$

Therefore

$E(X_n)=\frac{n}{2}*P$

$E(X_n)=\frac{n}{2}*\frac{4}{27}$

$E(X_n)=\frac{2n}{27}$

Generally the equations for when n is odd is mathematically given by

$\frac{n-1}{2}$

$E(X_n)=\frac{n-1}{2}*\frac{4}{27}$

$E(X_n)=\frac{2(n-1)}{27}$

b)

Probability of drawing white ball

$P(w)=\frac{2}{9}$

Therefore

$E(w)=\frac{1}{p}$

$E(w)=\frac{1}{\frac{2}{9}}$

$E(w)=\frac{9}{2}$

Therefore

$E(y)=[E(w)-1]\frac{4}{9}$

$E(y)=[\frac{9}{2}-1]\frac{4}{9}$

$E(y)=\frac{14}{9}$

What is the slope of the line that

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = ( 8-2)/(3-0)

= 6/3

= 2

Let x² + 15x = 49 . What values make an equivalent number sentence after completing the square? Enter your answers in the box

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

15/2 = 7.5 and (7.5)^2 = 56.25 so

x^2 + 15x + 56.25 = 49 + 56.25

x^2 + 15x + 56.25 = 105.25.
