The graph which represents the equation f ( x ) = [ x + 1 ] is Option 4.

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the equation be represented as f ( x )

Now , the value of f ( x ) is

f ( x ) = [ x + 1 ]

The function f ( x ) can be written as

y = [ x + 1 ] , where the equation f ( x ) = y

y = [ 0 + 1 ]

y = 1

So , the coordinates are ( 0 , 1 )

b)

when x = 1

The value of equation is

y = [ x + 1 ]

y = [ 1 + 1 ]

y = 2

So , the coordinates are ( 1 , 2 )

c)

when x = 2

The value of equation is

y = [ x + 1 ]

y = [ 2 + 1 ]

y = 3

So , the coordinates are ( 2 , 3 )

d)

Step-by-step explanation:

I as of now am not completely sure of this is the correct answer.

The efficiency of slotted aloha by letting n approach infinity is 1/e and the maximum value of probability is 1/n.

Given that:

No. of nodes = (n)

The efficiency of slotted aloha by letting n approach infinity is E (p)= np(1-p)^(n-1).

By derivation,

E' (p) =  n(1-p)^(n-1) - np(n-1)(1-p)^(n-2)

E' (p) =  n(1-p)^(n-2) x [(1- p) - p(n-1)]

E' (p) =  n(1-p)^(n-2) x [1-np]

Let E'(p) =0

i.e. Either,  n(1-p)^(n-2) = 0

=> p = 1 (minima)

Or [1-np] = 0

=> p = 1/n (maxima)

So, for the value of p* = 1/n, we can maximize this expression.

When  p = 1/n, the efficiency of slotted aloha is

E(p*) = n.1/n (1-1/n)^(n-1)

E(p*) = (1-1/n)^(n-1)

E(p*) = (1-1/n)^n/(1-1/n)

Since, [tex]\lim_{n \to \infty} (1-1/n) = 1\\[/tex]

[tex]\lim_{n \to \infty} (1-1/n)^n = 1/e[/tex]

So, when n approaches infinite,

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a randomly chosen death is a white person who died of diabetes is 0.024 determined using the law of total probability.

The law of total probability is a fundamental rule that connects marginal probabilities to conditional probabilities and expresses the total probability of an outcome via several distinct events. The rule states that if the probability of an event is unknown, it can be calculated using the known probabilities of several distinct events. It is given by P(A ∩ B) = P(A|B)P(B)

In order to determine the probability of an event (D) with not enough information to calculate it directly, a related event, say W can be taken and use that to calculate the probability for D.

Let the events that a person from a certain race die be denoted as:

P(W) = 0.86; P(B) = 0.12; P(A) = 0.02

Let the events that a person from a certain race dies of diabetes be denoted as:

P(D/W) = 0.0.028; P(D/B) = 0.044; P(D/A) = 0.035

Probability that a randomly chosen death is a white person who died of diabetes

P(W) x P (D/W) = 0.86 x 0.028 = 0.02408 ≈ 0.024

The number of movies on which Avery's songs were played is 2 times

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Songs played in commercial = $40

Songs played in movie = $140

Total earnings = $480

Number of times played on commercial = 7

The above parameters when represented as an equation is

Total earnings = Songs played in commercial * Number of times played on commercial + Songs played in movie * Number of times played in a movie

Substitute the known values in the above equation, so, we have the following representation

40 * 7 + 140 * Number of times played in a movie = 480

Evaluate the products

280 + 140 * Number of times played in a movie = 480

So, we have

Number of times played in a movie = 200/140

Evaluate

Number of times played in a movie = 2

The relationship between two distinct coordinate frames that are moving relative to one another at a constant speed is known as a Lorentz transformation. Dutch scientist Hendrik Lorentz is credited with coining the term transformation. There are two frames of reference: Inertial Frames, which relate to motion that has a constant speed.

Any and all rulers and other self-contained length standards, such as those you might use to set up a measurement frame, can be contracted in length based on velocity. This results in the Lorentz factor at the place in the LT.

Any and all clocks and other physically independent systems, such as those used to record events in a measurement frame, are subject to velocity time dilation. As a result, the LF is temporarily in the LT.

The fact that applying Einstein synchronisation individually for each measurement frame turns out to be natural. Consequently, the position-dependent synchronisation offset between the clocks of one measurement frame and those of the other is represented by the enigmatic second term in the LT for the time.

What is the equation of a line?

A straight line's general equation is y = mx + c, where m denotes the gradient and y = c denotes the point at which the line crosses the y-axis. On the y-axis, this value c is referred to as the intercept.

We have,

the line passes through the point (4,-3),

the points perpendicular to the line 4x - 3y = 3

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c is the y-intercept).

rearrange 4x - 3y = 3 into this form

Jessica has three dice with 10 sides, 13 sides and 5 sides respectively and she rolls all dice once and if Z is number of ones occur then

The expectation value i.e, E(Z) is 0.376 and variance V[Z] = 0.321..

Indicator method :

This is a powerful way to find expected counts. This follows from the observation that the number of "good" outcomes in a trial can be counted by first coding each "good" outcome as one, coding each other outcome as zero, and then adding 1 and 0.

let X₁ be the outcome of a 10 sided die

X₂ be the outcome of 13 sided die

X₃ be the outcome of 5 sided die

let l₁ ,I₂ ,I₃ be three indicator functions such that

I₁ =1 if X₁ = 1

=0 otherwise

I₂ = 1 if X₂ = 1

=0 otherwise

I₃ = 1 if X₃ = 1

=0 otherwise

so Z denotes the number of ones showing when the three dice are rolled once.

so Z=I₁ +I₂ +I₃

so E[Z]=E[I₁]+E[I₂]+E[I₃]

so E[I₁]=1×P[X₁=1] = 1/10

E[I₂]=1×P[X₂=1] = 1/13

E[I₃]=1×P[X₃=1] = 1/5

so, E[Z]=1/10+1/13+1/5=49/130 = 0.3769

the variance = V[Z] = V[I₁]+V[I₂]+V[I₃] since the outcomes of the 3 different die are independent to each other hence no covariance term.

V[I₁]= 1²P[X₁=1]- E²[I₁]=1/10 -(1/10)²= 0.09

V[I₂]= 1²P[X₂=1]- E²[I₂]=1/13-(1/13)²= 12/169 = 0.071

V[I₃]= 1²P[X₃=1]- E²[I₃]=1/5 -(1/5)²= 4/25 = 0.16

so V[Z]= 0.09 + 0.071 + 0.16 = 0.321

Hence, the expectation value i.e, E(Z) is 0.3769..
