Answer:

arithmetic
neither
geometric
arithmetic
geometric

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequences have a common difference. Often, checking for that is the easiest. Geometric sequences have a common ratio. If there is neither a common difference nor a common ratio, then the sequence is not one of these types.

The difference or ratio refers to the relation of a term in the sequence to the one before it. For example, 94.1 -98.3 = -4.2. If the same difference exists for subsequent pairs of terms, then the difference is said to be "common." Likewise, 3.5/1.75 = 2. If the same ratio exists for subsequent pairs of terms, it is a "common" ratio.

98.3, 94.1, ... -- arithmetic (common difference = -4.2)

1, 0, -1, 0, ... -- neither

1.75, 3.5, ... -- geometric (common ratio = 2)

-12, -10.8, ... -- arithmetic (common difference = -1.2)

-1, 1, ... -- geometric (common ratio = -1)

You and a friend play a game where you each toss a balanced coin. If the upper faces on the coins are both tails, you win $1; if

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer: The mean and variance of Y is $0.25 and $6.19 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : You and a friend play a game where you each toss a balanced coin.

sample space for tossing two coins : {TT, HT, TH, HH}

Let Y denotes the winnings on a single play of the game.

You win $1; if the faces are both heads

then P(Y=1)=P(TT)= $\dfrac{1}{4}=0.25$

You win $6; if the faces are both heads

then P(Y=6)=P(HH)= $\dfrac{1}{4}=0.25$

You loose $3; if the faces do not match.

then P(Y=1)=P(TH, HT)= $\dfrac{2}{4}=0.50$

The expected value to win : E(Y)= $\sum_{i=1}^{i=3} y_ip(y_1)$

$=1\times0.25+6\times0.25+(-3)\times0.50=0.25$

Hence, the mean of Y : E(Y)= $0.25

$E(Y^2)=\sum_{i=1}^{i=3} y_i^2p(y_i)\\\\=1^2\times0.25+6^1\times0.25+(-3)^2\times0.5\\\\=0.25+1.5+4.5=6.25$

Variance = $E[Y^2]-E(Y)^2$

$=6.25-(0.25)^2=6.25-0.0625=6.1875\approx6.19$

Hence, variance of Y = $ 6.19

Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 2 and contains

mina [271]

Equation in slope-intercept form is y = 2x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given slope of the line, m = 2. Form an equation y = mx + b

⇒ y = 2x + b ---- (1)

Step 2: The line passes through the point (4,2). So it will satisfy the equation. Find b by substituting x = 4 and y = 2.

⇒ 2 = 2 × 4 + b = 8 + b

⇒ b = -6

Step 3: Form the slope-intercept equation.

⇒ y = 2x - 6

Graph the line.<br> Don’t mind the random letters Fghhujhgdfvfdfgvee de f

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to graph the given line

Mathematically, to graph a line, we will

need to work with the intercepts

The general equation of a straight line is;

y = mx + b

is the slope and b is the y-intercept

with respect to the question, 4 is the y-intercept

we have this point as (0,4)

To get the x intercept, we will need to substitute 0 for the value of y

So, we have ;

0 = -x + 4

x = 4

The x-intercept too is 4

This is the point (4,0)

So by joining the points (0,4) and (4,0);

we have successfully graphed the line
