Answer:

a) P=0.226

b) P=0.6

c) P=0.0008

d) P=0.74

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the seven balls are randomly withdrawn from an urn that contains 12 red, 16 blue, and 18 green balls. Therefore, we have 46 balls.

a) We calculate the probability that are 3 red, 2 blue, and 2 green balls.

We calculate the number of possible combinations:

$C_7^{46}=\frac{46!}{7!(46-7)!}=53524680$

We calculate the number of favorable combinations:

$C_3^{12}\cdot C_2^{16}\cdot C_2^{18}=660\cdot 120\cdot 153=12117600$

Therefore, the probability is

$P=\frac{12117600}{53524680}\\\\P=0.226$

b) We calculate the probability that are at least 2 red balls.

We calculate the probability withdrawn of 1 or none of the red balls.

We calculate the number of possible combinations:

$C_7^{46}=\frac{46!}{7!(46-7)!}=53524680$

We calculate the number of favorable combinations: for 1 red balls

$C_1^{12}\cdot C_7^{34}=12\cdot 1344904=16138848$

Therefore, the probability is

$P_1=\frac{16138848}{53524680}\\\\P_1=0.3$

We calculate the number of favorable combinations: for none red balls

$C_7^{34}=5379616$

Therefore, the probability is

$P_0=\frac{5379616}{53524680}\\\\P_0=0.1$

Therefore, the the probability that are at least 2 red balls is

$P=1-P_1-P_0\\\\P=1-0.3-0.1\\\\P=0.6$

c) We calculate the probability that are all withdrawn balls are the same color.

We calculate the number of possible combinations:

$C_7^{46}=\frac{46!}{7!(46-7)!}=53524680$

We calculate the number of favorable combinations:

$C_7^{12}+C_7^{16}+C_7^{18}=792+11440+31824=44056$

Therefore, the probability is

$P=\frac{44056}{53524680}\\\\P=0.0008$

d) We calculate the probability that are either exactly 3 red balls or exactly 3 blue balls are withdrawn.

Let X, event that exactly 3 red balls selected.

$P(X)=\frac{C_3^{12}\cdot C_4^{34}}{53524680}=0.57\\$

Let Y, event that exactly 3 blue balls selected.

$P(Y)=\frac{C_3^{16}\cdot C_4^{30}}{53524680}=0.29\\$

We have

$P(X\cap Y)=\frac{18\cdot C_3^{12} C_3^{16}}{53524680}=0.12$

Therefore, we get

$P(X\cup Y)=P(X)+P(Y)-P(X\cap Y)\\\\P(X\cup Y)=0.57+0.29-0.12\\\\P(X\cup Y)=0.74$

Let f(x)=−3x. The graph of f(x) is transformed into the graph of g(x) by a vertical stretch of 4 units and a translation of 4 u

deff fn [24]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Ques 1)

$g(x)=-12x+48$

Ques 2)

$g(x)=|3x|+4$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Ques 1)

We know that if a graph is stretched by a factor of a then the transformation if given by:

f(x) → a f(x)

Also, we know that the translation of a function k units to the right or to the left is given by:

f(x) → f(x+k)

where if k>0 then the shift is k units to the left

and if k<0 then the shift is k units to the right.

Here the graph of f(x) is transformed into the graph of g(x) by a vertical stretch of 4 units and a translation of 4 units right.

This means that the function g(x) is given by:

$g(x)=4f(x-4)\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=4(-3(x-4))\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=-12(x-4)\\\\i.e.\\\\g(x)=-12x+48$

Ques 2)

We know that the transformation of the type:

f(x) → f(x)+k

is a shift or translation of the function k units up or down depending on k.

If k>0 then the shift is k units up.

and if k<0 then the shift is k units down.

Here, The graph of the function f(x)=|3x| is translated 4 units up.

This means that the transformed function g(x) is given by:

$g(x)=|3x|+4$

Find the sequence.. <br> 1,2,2,4,8

AlladinOne [14]

Let the n-th term be called $a_n$

We see that if we choose $a_0=1,a_1=2$ then the other numbers follow the pattern $a_{n+2}=a_{n+1}\cdot a_n$ (see : $4=2*2,8=4*2$ )

Hence the sequence will be $1,2,2,4,8,32,256, 8192, 2097152, 17179869184,\dots$

Which expression is equivalent to mc003-1.jpg?

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Option A is correct

The expression which is equivalent to $(f\cdot g)(5)$ is $f(5) \cdot g(5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula:

$(f \cdot g)(x) = f(x) \cdot g(x)$ .....[1]

Given the expression:

$(f\cdot g)(5)$

Substitute the value of x = 5 in [1]

we get;

$(f \cdot g)(5) = f(5) \cdot g(5)$

Therefore, the expression which is equivalent to $(f\cdot g)(5)$ is $f(5) \cdot g(5)$

A fitted multiple regression equation is Y = 28 + 5X1 - 4X2 + 7X3 + 2X4. When X1 increases 2 units and X2 increases 2 units as w

ad-work [718]

Answer:

A. Increase by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a fitted multiple regression equation is

$Y = 28 + 5X_1 -4X_2 + 7X_3 + 2X_4$

This is a multiple regression line with dependent variable y and independent variables x1, x2, x3 and x4

The coefficients of independent variables represent the slope.

In other words the coefficients represent the rate of change of y when xi is changed by 1 unit.

Given that x3 and x4 remain unchanged and x1 increases by 2 and x2 by 2 units

Since slope of x1 is 5, we find for one unit change in x1 we can have 5 units change in y

i.e. for 2 units change in x1, we expect 10 units change in Y

Similarly for 2 units change in x2, we expect -2(4) units change in Y

Put together we have

$10-8 =2$ change in y

Since positive 2, there is an increase by 2
