Answer:

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

∴0+k+2k+3k+k

+k)=1

⇒10k

+9k−1=0

⇒(10k−1)(k+1)=0

⇒k=−1,

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

∴k=

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

=0+k+2k

=3k

I'm a little bit confused about how to approach this can someone help?

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC is congruent with ΔDEF.  That means the corresponding sides are congruent.

Look at the order of the letters.  EF are the last two letters of ΔDEF.  So this corresponds with the last two letters of ΔABC.  Therefore, EF ≅ BC.

EF ≅ BC

x² + 8x = 48

x² + 8x − 48 = 0

(x + 12) (x − 4) = 0

x = -12 or 4

Since x can't be negative, x = 4.
