Consider a coin that a head is twice more likely to occur than a tail. Find the variance of number of heads when the coin is tossed three times.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.667

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Head is twice more likely to occur than a tail.

P(head) = p(H) = 2/3

P(tail) = p(T) = 1/3

If coin is tossed 3 times :

P(H = 0) :

1st toss = tail ;2nd toss = tail ; 3rd toss =. Tail

(1/3) * (1/3) * (1/3) = 1 / 27

P(H= 1)

HTT, THT, TTH

(2/3 * 1/3 * 1/3) + (1/3 * 2/3 * 1/3) + (1/3 * 1/3 *2/3)

= 2/27 + 2 /27 + 2/27

= 6/27 = 2/9

P(H=2)

HHT, HTH, THH

(2/3 * 2/3 * 1/3) + (2/3 * 1/3 * 2/3) + (1/3 * 2/3 * 2/3)

= 4/27 + 4/27 + 4/27

= 12 / 27

= 4 /9

P(H = 3)

HHH

(2/3 * 2/3 * 2/3)

= 8 / 27

X ___ 0 ___ 1 ____ 2 ____ 3

P(x) _ 1/27 _ 2/9 __ 4/9 __ 8/27

E(X) = (0 * (1/27)) + (1 * (2/9)) + (2 * (4/9)) + (3 * (8/27)) = 2

E(X) = 2

Var(X) = Σx²p(x) - E(X)²

= (0^2 * (1/27)) + (1^2 * (2/9)) + (2^2 * (4/9)) + (3^2 * (8/27)) - 2^2

= 4.667 - 4

= 0.667

Hence, Var(x) = 0.667

Answer:

D. [tex] = \frac{b}{a} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex] \frac{b^{-2}}{ab^{-3}} [/tex]

Required:

Assuming a ≠ 0, b ≠ 0, find the expression equivalent to the given expression.

SOLUTION:

[tex] \frac{b^{-2}}{ab^{-3}} [/tex]

Recall the exponent rule =>  [tex] \frac{x^{a}}{x^{b}} = x^{a - b} [/tex]

Applying the exponent rule, we would have:

[tex] \frac{b^{-2 -(-3)}}{a} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{b^{-2 + 3}}{a} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{b^{1}}{a} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{b}{a} [/tex]

Thus, the equivalent expression of [tex] \frac{b^{-2}}{ab^{-3}} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{b}{a} [/tex]

Give the values of the coefficients [a], [b], and [c] regarding the product in the form of ax^2+bx+c. Use "0" if the term isn't present.

Answers

Answer:  a = 1, b = 0, c = -49

==================================================

Explanation:

Expand out the expression using the FOIL rule

(x+7)(x-7)

x^2 - 7x + 7x - 49

1x^2 + 0x - 49

We see that a = 1, b = 0, c = -49

-------------

Another way to expand is to do the following

(x+7)(x-7)

y(x-7) .... let y = x+7

xy - 7y .... distribute

x( y ) - 7( y )

x( x+7 ) - 7( x + 7 ) ... replace y with x+7

x^2 + 7x - 7x - 49 .... distribute

1x^2 + 0x - 49

We get the same result.

-------------

Lastly, a shortcut can be used as yet another method to expand.

The shortcut is the difference of squares rule

(a + b)(a - b) = a^2 - b^2

In this case, a = x and b = 7, so,

(a + b)(a - b) = a^2 - b^2

(x + 7)(x - 7) = x^2 - 7^2

(x + 7)(x - 7) = x^2 - 49

(x + 7)(x - 7) = 1x^2 + 0x - 49

a bus is full of passengers. if you count them by either twos, threes, or fives, there is one left. if you count them by seven there will be none left. find the least number of passengers in the bus?​

Answers

the number of passengers is not a multiple of 2, 3 or 5 but it is a multiple of 7

The lowest multiple of 7 that is not a multiple of 2, 3 or 5 is 7

The next multiple after 7 that is not a multiple of 2, 3 or 5 is 49

7 x 1 = 7
7 x 2 = 14 ( can be divided by 2 )
7 x 3 = 21 ( can be divided by 3 )
7 x 4 = 28 ( can be divided by 2 )
7 x 5 = 35 ( can be divided by 5 )
7 x 6 = 42 ( can be divided by 2 )
7 x 7 = 49

The price of a new computer is $1,449 at your local store. This is 18% less than what it costs at the Brownstone Mall. How much should it cost at the Brownstone Mall?

Answers

Given:

Price of new computer at local store = $1,449

This is 18% less than what it costs at the Brownstone Mall.

To find:

The cost of new computer at the Brownstone Mall.

Solution:

Let x be the cost of new computer at the Brownstone Mall.

According to the question,

[tex]x-18\%\text{ of }x=1449[/tex]

[tex]x-\dfrac{18}{100}x=1449[/tex]

[tex]x-0.18x=1449[/tex]

[tex]0.82x=1449[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.82.

[tex]x=\dfrac{1449}{0.82}[/tex]

[tex]x=1767.07317[/tex]

[tex]x\approx 1767.07[/tex]

Therefore, the cost of new computer at the Brownstone Mall is $1767.07.

A pie can be cut into seven pieces with three straight cuts. What is the largest number of
pieces that can be made with eight straight cuts?
A. 29
B. 33
C. 37
D. 41​

Answers

Answer:

You have to think in three dimensions to answer this properly. The relative size of the pieces was never specified, so let’s start with the first three cuts:

Cut 1: No specified angle—-but it’s vertical and along a diameter (assuming a circular pie): 2 pieces.

Cut 2: Perpendicular to Cut 1; also vertical: 4 pieces.

Cut 3: Horizontal across the midline of the pie: 8 pieces.

Cuts 4 and 5: Diagonally—from either end of cut 1 on top to the opposite sides on the bottom (they intersect at the center): 16 pieces.

Cuts 6 and 7: Diagonally from the ends of cut 2 (similar to cuts 4 and 5): 32 pieces.

Cut 8: The exact angle is unimportant—it’s difficult if not impossible to cut more than half of the pieces. So of 32, 16 are split, leaving a grand total of 48 pieces.

There could very well be a way to make more than 48 pieces, but I would have written that one if I’d thought of it.

Step-by-step explanation:

With eight straight cuts, approximately 18 pieces of pie can be made.

What is algebraic expression?

An algebraic expression in mathematics is a combination of terms both constant and variable. For example, we can write the algebraic expressions as -

2x + 3y + 5

2z + y

x + 3y

Given is that a pie can be cut into seven pieces with three straight cuts.

With three straight cuts, the number of pieces would be seven.

With 1 straight cut, the number of pieces would be 7/3.

With 8 straight cut, the number of pieces would be 7/3 x 8 = 56/3 = 18.6

Therefore, with eight straight cuts, approximately 18 pieces of pie can be made.

Bina Chand bought two kettle for rs 1625.she sold one of them
at 20% profit and the other at 20% loss.if the selling price of both kettle are same .find the cost price of each kettle .Also calculate her gain or loss percent in the total transaction. ​

Answers

Answer:

cost of each kettle:

K₁ = 650K₂ = 975

gain/loss from each transaction:

gain from selling K₁ = 130loss from selling K₂ = 195

total loss = 65

loss % = 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

both kettles cost 1625

K₁ + K₂ = 1625

selling price of K₁ = [(100 + 20) / 100] x K₁ = 1.2K₁

selling price of K₂ = [(100 - 80) / 100] x K₂ = 0.8K₂

1.2K₁ = 0.8K₂

K₁ = 1625 - K₂

K₁ = 0.8K₂ / 1.2

1625 - K₂ = ²/₃K₂

1625 = ²/₃K₂ + K₂ = ⁵/₃K₂

K₂ = 1625 x ³/₅ = 975

K₁ = 1625 - K₂ = 1625 - 975 = 650

selling price = 1.2K₁ = 1.2 x 650 = 780

selling price K₂ = 0.8K₂ = 0.8 x 975 = 780

gain from selling K₁ = 780 - 650 = 130

loss from selling K₂ = 780 - 975 = 195

total loss = 195 - 130 = 65

loss % = 65 / 1625 = 0.04 = 4%
