A psychology experiment on memory was conducted which required participants to recall anywhere from 1 to 10 pieces of informatio

n. Based on many results, the (partial) probability distribution below was determined for the discrete random variable (X = number of pieces of information remembered (during a fixed time period)). What is the missing probability P(X=7)? Your answer should include the second decimal place.

Answer:

The missing probability is, P (X = 7) = 0.24.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

A psychology experiment on memory was conducted which required participants to recall anywhere from 1 to 10 pieces of information. Based on many results, the (partial) probability distribution below was determined for the discrete random variable (X = number of pieces of information remembered (during a fixed time period)).

What is the missing probability P(X=7)? Your answer should include the second decimal place.

X = # information | probability:

1 | 0.0

2 | 0.02

3 | 0.04

4 | 0.07

5 | 0.15

6 | 0.18

7 | ?

8 | 0.14

9 | 0.11

10 | 0.05

Solution:

The sum of the probabilities of all events of an experiment is always 1.

\sum\limits^{n}_{i=1}{P(X=x_{i})}=1

Use the above theorem to compute the missing probability.

\sum\limits^{n}_{i=1}{P(X=i)}=1

P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)+...+P(X=10)=1\\0.00+0.02+0.04+0.07+0.15+0.18+a+0.14+0.11+0.05=1\\0.76+a=1\\a=1-0.76\\a=0.24

Thus, the missing probability is, P (X = 7) = 0.24.

You plant a garden in the shape of a triangle as shown in the figure. What is the perimeter of the garden? Find the values of x
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

x = 42°

y = 69°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Given triangle is an isosceles triangle.

Therefore, two sides will be equal and measure 8 yd.

Measure of 3rd side of the triangle = 6 yd

Perimeter of the garden = 8 + 8 + 6

                                        = 22 yd

In an isosceles triangle, opposite angles of the equal sides will be equal.

Therefore, y = 69°

By the property of interior angles of a triangle,

x° + y° + 69° = 180°

x° + 69° + 69° = 180°

x = 180 - 138

x = 42°
