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

The sum of two real numbers is 8 and their product is 14. What is the sum of their reciprocals?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Let our two numbers be  a  and  b . Then we can see that  a+b=8  and  ab=15 . Now consider

(a+b)3=a3+3a2b+3ab2+b3  by the binomial expansion. Now we have all the information to solve this, observe since  a+b=8  and  ab=15 . We have

(8)3=a3+3ab(a)+3ab(b)+b3  

a3+b3+3ab(a)+3ab(b)=83  

a3+b3+3ab(a+b)=83  

a3+b3=83−3ab(a+b)  

a3+b3=83−3(15)(8)=512−360=152  

You can also observe that  3  and  5  fulfill those conditions so, then  33+53=27+125=152 . Which is our result.

the product of 0.43 and 5.024 is greater than 0.43 and less than 5.024 true or false

Answers

Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the product of 0.43 and 5.024 so see if it is greater than 0.43.

 0.43 * 5.024 = 2.16032  

2.16032 is indeed greater than 0.43  ,  2.16032 > 0.43

And 0.43 is indeed less than 5.024 , 0.43 < 5.024  

Meaning that this state is true.

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Product refers to multiplication, the question is telling us to multiply 0.43 and 5.024 so lets do that

0.43 * 5.024 = 2.16032

Now we have to figure out if this fits the criteria. It must be larger than 0.43 but smaller then 5.024

...

That checks out.

A cardboard tube used for storing posters has the shape of a cylinder. It is 100 centimeters long and has a diameter of 8 canimeters. What is the volume of the tube

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Volume = 5028.6cm^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Height = 10cm[/tex]

[tex]Diameter = 8cm[/tex]

Required

Determine the volume

The volume of a cylinder is calculated as thus:

[tex]Volume = \pi r^2h[/tex]

Where [tex]r = radius[/tex]

[tex]r = \frac{1}{2} * Diameter[/tex]

[tex]r = \frac{1}{2} * 8cm[/tex]

[tex]r = 4cm[/tex]

[tex]h = 100cm[/tex]

Take

[tex]\pi = \frac{22}{7}[/tex], so we have

[tex]Volume = \pi r^2h[/tex]

[tex]Volume = \frac{22}{7} * 4^2 * 100[/tex]

[tex]Volume = \frac{22}{7} * 16 * 100[/tex]

[tex]Volume = \frac{22 * 16 * 100}{7}[/tex]

[tex]Volume = \frac{35200}{7}[/tex]

[tex]Volume = 5028.6cm^3[/tex]

(a) Determine the volume of concrete needed in cubic feet.

(b) If 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet, how many cubic yards of concrete are needed?

(c) If the concrete costs $36 per cubic yard, what is the cost of the concrete? Concrete must be purchased in whole cubic yards​

Answers

Answer:

a) The volume of concrete needed in cubic feet is 2,112. b) The number of cubic yards of concrete needed in cubic yards is about 79. c) The cost of the concrete using cubic yards is $2,844.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The formula of the volume is l*w*d. 24 * 11 * 8 = 264 * 8 = 2,112.

b) The way to find this is that you take 2,112 and divide it by 27. Since the answer is 78.2 repeating, you round it up to 79 so it will fill up all of the concrete.

c) Since you need 79 cubic yards of concrete, you do 79 multiplied by $36 to get the total cost of $2,844.

Parallel to the line y=-3x + 5 passes through (-4,5)

Answers

Answer:

The equation of line that is Parallel to the line y=-3x + 5 passes through (-4,5) is: y = -3x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of line is:

[tex]y = -3x+5[/tex]

General form of slope-intercept equation of line is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Comparing both we get

m = -3

The slope of two parallel line sis equal.

Let m1 be the slope of line parallel to given line, then

m1 = -3

Putting in general form

[tex]y = -3x+b[/tex]

Putting (-4,5) in equation

[tex]5 = -3(-4) +b\\5 = 12+b\\b = 5-12\\b = -7[/tex]

Putting in the general form, we get

[tex]y = -3x-7[/tex]

Hence,

The equation of line that is Parallel to the line y=-3x + 5 passes through (-4,5) is: y = -3x-7

How do you do this question?

Answers

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

dy/dt = y² − 1 = (y + 1) (y − 1)

At t = 0, y = 0, and dy/dt = -1.  Therefore, y is initially decreasing.

As y decreases, dy/dt increases.  When y = -1, dy/dt = 0 and changes signs from negative to positive.

As y increases above -1, dy/dt again becomes negative.  So y continues to approach -1 as t approaches infinity.

Answer: y = -3/4x - 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope needs to be negative so that it's perpendicular to

y = 3/4x - 1

The equation then looks like this

y = -3/4x

We can get an exact y intercept number by using the cordinates

Lets input cordinates (3,-3)

-3 = -3/4(3)

-3 = -2.25 - 75 ( I inferenced )

-3 = -3

now that we got the y intercept lets put it all together

y = -3/4x - 0.75

A certain brand of coffee comes in two sizes. An 11.3-ounce package costs $2.88. A 27.8-ounce package costs $6.48.
Find the unit price for each size. Then state which size is the better buy based on the unit price.
Round your answers to the nearest cent.

Answers

Answer:

unit price for 11.3-ounce package = $0.25

unit price for 27.8-ounce package =  $0.23

27.8-ounce package is the better buy

Step-by-step explanation:

An 11.3-ounce package costs $2.88. A 27.8-ounce package costs $6.48.

a) 11.3-ounce package

11.3 ounces = $2.88

1 ounce = $2.88 ÷ 11.3

1 ounce = $0.25

b) 27.8-ounce package

27.8 ounces = $6.48

1 ounce = $6.48 ÷ 27.8

1 ounce = $0.23

$0.25 > $0.23

70%

Hope This Helps :)

Answer:

70% of the students are enrolled in health class.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that there are 70 students enrolled in health and that 30 are not. Therefore, we need to determine the total number of students in Oscar's grade.

[tex]70 + 30 = 100[/tex]

Oscar has 100 students in his grade. If 70 of those students are enrolled in health, we can divide those students by the total number of students and convert our fraction to a decimal and then a percentage.

[tex]\displaystyle\frac{70}{100} = \frac{7}{10} = 0.7\\\\0.7 \times 100 = 70\%[/tex]

Therefore, 70% of the students are enrolled in health class.
