3. Two coins are simultaneously tossed until one of them comes up a head and the other a tail. The first coin comes up a head with probability p and the second with probability q. All tosses are assumed independent. (a) Find the PMF, the expected value, and the variance of the number of tosses. (b) What is the probability that the last toss of the first coin is a head

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From above-given information

Consider p to be the probability that the first coin comes up as head

Consider q to be the probability that the second coin comes up as tail.

Provided all tosses seems to be independent.

Then;

Let X represent no. of tosses, where X follows a geometric distribution with parameter;

p' = p(1-q) +q(1-p)

with probability mass function (pmf)

[tex]P(X = x) = ( 1 - p')^{x - 1} p'[/tex]

Thus, the mean (expected value) and the standard deviation can be computed as:

[tex]E(X) = \dfrac{1}{p'}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{E(X) = \dfrac{1}{p(1-q)+q(1-p)}}[/tex]

[tex]V(X) = \dfrac{1-p'}{(p')^2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{V(X) = \dfrac{1-[p(1-q)+q(1-p)]}{[p(1-q)+q(1-p)]^2}}[/tex]

(b)

Suppose X represents that the first coin is head;

and Y represent the last toss

Therefore, the required probability is:

[tex]P(X|Y) = \dfrac{p(1-q)}{p'}[/tex]

[tex]P(X|Y) = \dfrac{p(1-q)}{p(1-q)+(1-p)q}[/tex]

Find the Greatest common factor
42,60

Answers

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Greatest common factor (GCF) of 42 and 60 is 6.

As the numbers get larger, or you want to compare multiple numbers at the same time to find the GCF, you can see how listing out all of the factors would become too much. To fix this, you can use prime factors.

List out all of the prime factors for each number:

Prime Factors for 42: 2, 3, and 7

Prime Factors for 60: 2, 2, 3, and 5

Now that we have the list of prime factors, we need to find any which are common for each number.

Looking at the occurences of common prime factors in 42 and 60 we can see that the commonly occuring prime factors are 2 and 3.

To calculate the prime factor, we multiply these numbers together:

GCF = 2 x 3 = 6

Determine if a triangle can have the given side lengths. If yes, which type of triangle is formed by the side lengths. Choose the correct answer for both rows of the table. HELP GODDD PLZ PLZ PLZ HELP

Answers

Answer:

B and H.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the triangle inequality, any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the remaining side.

Triangle 1)

The side lengths are 9, 40, and 41.

We only need to check the two smaller sides. 9 + 40 = 49 which is indeed greater than 41. Therefore, this is indeed a triangle.

Remember that if:

[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2[/tex]

We have a right triangle.

[tex]c^2>a^2+b^2[/tex]

We have an obtuse triangle.

And if:

[tex]c^2<a^2+b^2[/tex]

We have an acute triangle.

In all of these, c is the longest side.

Therefore, we will substitute 41 for c and 9 and 40 for the others:

[tex]41^2\text{ }?\text{ }40^2+9^2[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]1681=1681[/tex]

Since the two values are equivalent, the first triangle is a right triangle.

Triangle 2)

Again, adding up the two smaller sides gives that 8 + 10 = 18.

However, 18 is less than 21, so it does not satisfy the triangle inequality.

Therefore, the given side lengths cannot form a triangle.

What is the equation?

Answers

Answer:

y - 4 = (1/3)(x - 9)  or x - 3y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we're told that the slope is 1/3 and that (9, 4) is a point on the line.  Use the point-slope formula  y - k = m(x - h).  Substitute 4 for k, 9 for h and 1/3 for m:

y - 4 = (1/3)(x - 9)  (point-slope formula)

3y - 12 = x - 9  (standard form of the same equation) = >

     -12 + 9 = x - 3y, or x - 3y = -3 (standard form)

A wooden roller coaster contains a run in the shape of a sinusoidal​ curve, with a series of hills. The crest of each hill is 108 feet above the ground. If it takes a car 1.9 seconds to go from the top of a hill to the bottom ​(4 feet off the​ ground), find a sinusoidal function of the form y = A sin(ωt - Φ) + B that models the motion of the coaster train during this run starting at the top of a hill.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y(t)=52sin(3.3t+\pi/2)+56[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Height of crest, h=108 feet

Time for one cycle, T=1.9 s

We have to find a sinusoidal function of the form y = A sin(ωt - Φ) + B that models the motion of the coaster train during this run starting at the top of a hill.

We are given

[tex]y=Asin(\omega t-\phi)+B[/tex]

Amplitude,[tex]A=\frac{108-4}{2}=52 feet[/tex]

[tex]B=A+4=52+4=56 feet[/tex]

[tex]\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]\omega=\frac{2\pi}{1.9}=3.3/s[/tex]

We assume,

Horizontal shift [tex]\phi=-\frac{\pi}{2}[/tex]

Substitute the values

[tex]y(t)=52sin(3.3t+\pi/2)+56[/tex]

Hence, the  sinusoidal function  that models the motion of the coaster train during this run starting at the top of a hill is given by

[tex]y(t)=52sin(3.3t+\pi/2)+56[/tex]

The length of a side is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the volume of a cube is equal to l*w*h.

V=l*w*h

Volume is equal to side cubed.

V=s^3

A student group claims that first-year students at a university must study 2.5 hours (150 minutes) per night during the school week. A skeptic suspects that they study less than that on the average. A class survey finds that the average study time claimed by 272 students is xbar= 141 minutes, with a sample standard deviation of 66.

Regard these students as a random sample of all first-year students and suppose we know that the study times follow a Normal distribution.

What is the standard error of the sample mean?

Consider the hypotheses H0: µ = 150 against Ha: µ < 150.

What is the value of the test statistic? Give your answer to two decimal places.

The p-value for the correct test statistic is 0.0126. What do you conclude at the a = 0.05 level?

We do not have enough evidence to say that students are not studying 2.5 hours per night during the school week.
We have strong evidence that, on average, students study less than 2.5 hours per night during the school week.

Answers

Answer:

We have strong evidence that on average, students study less than 150 minutes per night during the school week

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal distribution:

mean     μ₀ = 150

Sample:

Sample size    n = 272

Sample mean   x = 141

Sample standard deviation  s  = 66

The standard error of the sample mean  SE = σ /√n

SE = 66/√272

SE = 66 / 16,49

SE = 4

Test Hypothesis:

Null hypothesis                            H₀             x  =   μ₀

Alternative hypothesis                Hₐ            x <    μ₀

z(s)  test statistics is:

z(s)  =  ( x  -  μ₀ ) / s/√n

z(s) = - 9 /4

z(s) =  -  2,25

p-value  for that z(s)      p-value  = 0,0122

Then for α =  0,05 p-value < 0,05

We are in the rejection region we need to reject H₀

18 + 24

1. 3(6 + 9)
= 18 + 27
So, this is wrong.

2. 6(3 + 4)
= 18 + 24
So, this is correct!

3. 6(2 + 5)
= 12 + 30
So, this is wrong.

4. 9(2 + 3)
= 18 + 27
So, this is wrong.

So, in conclusion, number two is correct because using distributive property, we were able to get the answer of: 18 + 24.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]f(t) = 1 - cos^2\ t[/tex] and [tex]f(t) = sin^2\ t[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{sec\ t - cos\ t}{sec\ t} = f(t)[/tex]

Required

Simplify

[tex]f(t) = \frac{sec\ t - cos\ t}{sec\ t}[/tex]

Split fraction

[tex]f(t) = \frac{sec\ t }{sec\ t} - \frac{cos\ t}{sec\ t}[/tex]

[tex]f(t) = 1 - \frac{cos\ t}{sec\ t}[/tex]

[tex]sec\ t = \frac{1}{cos\ t}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]f(t) = 1 - \frac{cos\ t}{\frac{1}{cos\ t}}[/tex]

[tex]f(t) = 1 - cos\ t * cos\ t[/tex]

[tex]f(t) = 1 - cos^2\ t[/tex]

In trigonometry:

[tex]1 - cos^2\ t = sin^2\ t[/tex]

So, we have:
