Answer:

(i) It is known that the sum of probabilities of a probability distribution of random variables is one.

∴0+k+2k+3k+k

2

+2k

2

+(7k

2

+k)=1

⇒10k

2

+9k−1=0

⇒(10k−1)(k+1)=0

⇒k=−1,

1

k=−1 is not possible as the probability of an event is never negative.

∴k=

1

(ii) P(X<3)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)

=0+k+2k

=3k

The equation y = 2x + 1 is changed to y = 2x - 1. How does this change the graph of the line?
Mekhanik [1.2K]
Y = 2x + 1
y = 2x - 1

so the 1st one has a y int of 1 and the second one has a y int of -1...so the original line will shift down 2 units

Complementary events must have a sum of 1.
Bas_tet [7]

This is a true statement.

Consider two events A and B. We say they are complementary if P(A)+P(B) = 1

This means that either event A or event B must happen, since the "1" represents 100% probability. Having a probability of 100% means absolute certainty.

---------

Example:

A = the event it rains

B = the event it does not rain

P(A) = 0.30 = 30% chance of rain

P(B) = 0.70 = 70% chance it does not rain

P(A)+P(B) = 0.30+0.70 = 1

So this shows the two events are complementary.

ILL MARK AS BRAINLIST IF U GET IT RIGHT it’s khan
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

given that x and y are proportional, they can be expressed as y = rx, where r is the proportionality constant. Thus, we can solve for r by doing y/x in any given point.

\frac{8}{1.6} = \frac{15}{3}  = \frac{22}{4.4} = 5
