A fair coin is flipped three times. Let X be the number of heads observed. (a) Give both the possible values and probability mass function of X. (b) Find P(X ≥ 1) and P(X > 1). (c) Compute E[X] and V ar(X).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a)

The possible values are 0, 1, 2 and 3.

The probability mass function of X is:

P(X = 0) = 0.125

P(X = 1) = 0.375

P(X = 2) = 0.375

P(X = 3) = 0.125

b)

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 0.875[/tex], [tex]P(X > 1) = 0.5[/tex]

c) E(X) = 1.5, Var(X) = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

For it time the coin is flipped, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it comes up heads, or it comes up tails. Each toss is independent of other tosses. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The variance of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]V(X) = np(1-p)[/tex]

A fair coin is flipped three times.

This means that [tex]n = 3[/tex]

Fair coin means that it is equally as likely to be heads or tails, so [tex]p = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5[/tex]

a) Give both the possible values and probability mass function of X.

The possible values are from 0 to n, so 0, 1, 2 and 3.

The probability mass function is the probability of each outcome. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{3,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.375[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{3,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.375[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{3,0}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.125[/tex]

(b) Find P(X ≥ 1) and P(X > 1).

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.375 + 0.375 + 0.125 = 0.875[/tex]

[tex]P(X > 1) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.375 + 0.125 = 0.5[/tex]

(c) Compute E[X] and Var(X).

[tex]E(X) = np = 3*0.5 = 1.5[/tex]

[tex]Var(X) = np(1-p) = 3*0.5*0.5 = 0.75[/tex]

Two candles were lit and are burning. Candle A has
an initial height of 10 inches and burning down at a
rate of 1.5 inches per hour. Candle B is burning down
at a rate of 0.5 inches per hour and has an initial
height of 6 inches. Let t represent time in hours and
h represent the total height of the candle.

Answers

Answer:

A - 6 hours and 40 minutes

B - 12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Candle A - After 6 hours: the candle will be 1 inch tall, because 6 times 1.5 = 9. You need an extra 40 minutes for the candle to burn completely, because 10/1.5 = 6 and 2/3

Candle B - After 12 hours, the candle will be completely burned, because 6/.5 = 12.

Equation - Initial height/inches burned per hour = time it takes for cnadle to burn down completely

Answer:

The correct answer is given by option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is said to be increasing for intervals of x in which the values of y are increasing, that is, it trends upwards, and decreasing for intervals of x in which the values of y are decreasing, that is, it trends downwards.

In this question:

It trends upwards from the start, at negative infinity, until 0.

It trends downwards from 0, until the end, at positive infinity.

So the correct answer is given by option A.

The oldest child in a family of four children is twice as old as the yougest. The two middle children are 12 and 16 years old. If the average age of the children is 15.25 , how old is the youngest child?

Answers

four children average is 15.25 so ages must add to 61
61-12-16=33
11 and 22 go into 33
Youngest is 11

The age of the youngest child will be 11 years old.

What is the solution to the equation?

The distribution of weights to the variables involved that establishes the equilibrium in the calculation is referred to as a result.

The oldest child in a family of four children is twice as old as the youngest.

Let x be the age of the youngest child and y be the age of the oldest child. Then the equation is given as,

y = 2x   ...1

The two middle children are 12 and 16 years old. If the average age of the children is 15.25. Then the equation is given as,

(x + 12 + 16 + y) / 4 = 15.25

x + y = 33  ...2

From equations 1 and 2, then we have

x + 2x = 33

3x = 33

x = 11

The age of the youngest child will be 11 years old.

Option (2) and Option (6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression representing the error can be given by,

Expected value = Original value ± percentage error

If original value of the ice cream filled in the container = 64 ounce

Percentage error to fill the ice cream in each container = 1.5%

So net error = ± 1.5% of 64

                    = [tex]64(\frac{1.5}{100})[/tex] ounce

                     = 64(0.015) ounce

Therefore, expression that can show the maximum maximum amount of ice cream in the container will be

= 64 + 64(0.015) Option (6)

= 64(1 + 0.015)

= 64(1.015) Option (2)

Therefore, Option (2) and Option (6) are the correct options.
