A contractor is required by a county planning department to submit one, two, three, four, five, six, or seven forms (depending on the nature of the project) in applying for a building permit. Let Y = the number of forms required of the next applicant. The probability that y forms are required is known to be proportional to y—that is, p(y) = ky for y = 1, , 7.
A) What is the value of c?
B) What is the probability that at most three forms are required?
C) What is the probability that between two and four forms (inclusive) are required?
D) Could pX(x) = x^2/50 for x = 1, . . . , 5 be a probability distribution of X? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

P(Y) = ky

where;

y =1,2,...7

To find the value of c or k (constant)

[tex]\sum P(Y) = 1[/tex]

[tex]\sum \limits_{y \to 1}^7 k*y = 1[/tex]

= k(1+2+3+4+5+6+7) = 1

28k = 1

[tex]k = \dfrac{1}{28}[/tex]

b) The required probability is P ( X ≤ 3)

[tex]P(X \le 3) = \sum \limits^3_{y=1 } P(y)[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 3) = \sum \limits^3_{y=1 } \dfrac{1}{28}(y)[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 3) = \dfrac{1}{28} (1 +2+3)[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 3) = \dfrac{6}{28}[/tex]

P ( X ≤ 3) = 0.2143

c) The required probability P(2 ≤ Y ≤ 4)

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = \sum \limits ^4_{y=2} P(Y)[/tex]

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = \sum \limits ^4_{y=2} \dfrac{1}{28}(Y)[/tex]

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = \dfrac{1}{28}(2+3+4)[/tex]

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = 0.3214[/tex]

d) The required probability:

[tex]P(X) = \dfrac{x^2}{50} ; \ \ \ \ where; \ x= 1,2,...5[/tex]

[tex]\sum \limits ^5_{y =1} P(Y)= \sum \limits ^5_{y =1} \dfrac{1}{50}(x)^2[/tex]

[tex]\sum \limits ^5_{y =1} P(Y)= \sum \limits ^5_{y =1} \dfrac{1}{50}(1+4+9+16+25)[/tex]

[tex]\sum \limits ^5_{y =1} P(Y)=1.1[/tex]

What is a function?

A function is an equation for which any x that can be put into the equation will produce exactly one output such as y out of the equation.

Given is a graph, we need to find its equation,

So, the graph is U-shaped, therefore, the leading coefficient is, a > 0

also, the graph does not have a zero at the origin,

The function which could possibly create the graph is the option; A.

F(x) = x⁷-x³-3x²+3

The leading coefficient is 1 > 0

The function has no factors of x = 0

The function has a linear factor.

Hence, the functions that could have created this graph is f(x) = x⁷-x³-3x²+3

Step-by-step explanation:

expand the expression

(x-5)²

(x-5)(x-5) distribute

x²-5x-5x+25

combine like terms

x²-10x+25

if you get x^2-25 then you're only squaring the x and 5, you have to square the whole equation (x-5)(x-5) is doing (x-5)^2. for example, if you just had (5)^2 you would take the whole "equation" which is 5 and times that equation by itself.

EF=2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

EF = 2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

10 = 4 + GK

GK = 10 - 4

GK = 6 cm

or

KG = 6cm

[tex] \triangle EGH \cong\triangle KGF... (given) [/tex]

Answers

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

40 plus 90 equals 130 and triangle must be 180 so we need 50 degree

50°

Let x be the missing angle.

90°(right angle) + 40°(given) + x = 180° ( the sum of degrees of interior angles of triangle)

x = 180°-130°

x = 50°

u = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

angle c and a are congruent so take the 2 angles and turn them into an equation

u + 99 = 12u

subtract 1u from both sides, you're left with 99 = 11u

now, divide each side by 11

now you'll get the value of u which is 9 (u = 9)

since 99/11 is 9 that's the value of u.

Find the equation of the line passing through the points (-2,8) and (8,- 7). Write the equation in
slope-intercept form.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]y=mx+b\\ \\ m=\frac{-7-8}{8-\ -2}=\frac{-15}{10}=\ -\frac{3}{2}\\ \\ y=\ -\frac{3x}{2}+b,\ (-2,8)\\ \\ 8=\ -\frac{3(-2)}{2}+b\\ \\ 8=3+b,\ b=5\\ \\ y=\frac{10-3x}{2}[/tex]

Answer:   y  = - 3/2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation in slope intercept form, you will have to find the slope and the y-intercept.

(-2,8) (8,-7)  

To find the slope using these points, you will find the difference in the y coordinates and divide it by the difference in the x coordinates.

-7 - 8 = - 15

8 - (-2) = 10

   Slope:   -15/10   =  -3/2  

The slope is  -3/2

Now using the formula y=mx+b  , use one of the given points and the slope to solve for b , which is the y-intercept.

     8  = -3/2(-2) + b

    8 = 3 + b

   -3     -3

    b = 5

5th grade math. Correct answer will be marked brainliest.

Answers

Answer:

1. 38.7

2. 3.87

3. .387

Step-by-step explanation:

1. So when dividing by numbers with exponents specifically 10 which is the most common number to have an exponent with you can look at the exponent and that number is the amount of zeros. So in this question there is 10 to the zeroth power. The amount of zeros would be zero so it is actually 1.

So then 10 to the zeroth power is equivalent to 1. The problem then becomes this: 38.7 / 1 which obviously equals 38.7

2. As I explained earlier, 10 to the first power would be 10 because the exponent number is one so that means the amount of zeros is one.

Equation: 38.7 / 10 which to solve you need to move the decimal to the left which gives you the answer, 3.87

3. The exponent number is 2 so, 10 to the second power is 100.

Equation: 38.7 / 100  

Move the decimal to the right twice and it will give you the answer .387

Please note that when multiplying by powers of 10 you move the decimal point to the left and when dividing by powers of ten you move the decimal to the right.

Find the measures of all the angles listed and if the lines are parallel explain why?

Answers

Answer:

x= 110°

Step-by-step explanation:

if you continue drawing the top purple line you will have a triangle with three angles

70° ; is given

180-140= 40°; is the same angle as the supplement angle of 140° (complementary angles are congruent)

180-70-40 = 70°; because sum of angles in a triangle is 180°

So angle x= 180 -70 = 110 because are a linear pair

Answer:

110 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

The supplement of the 140 deg angle measures 40 deg.

Draw a line through the vertex where angle x is that is parallel to the other two lines. That line splits angle x into two angles, an upper angle and a lower angle.

By alternate interior angles, the lower angle that is part of angle x measures 70 deg. Also by alternate interior angles, the upper angle that is part of angle x  measures 40 deg.

x = 70 + 40 = 110

Answer: 110 deg
