Answer:

a) The expected number of questions that are answered correctly by both A and B = 11 (7 + 4).

b) The Variance of the number of questions that are answered correctly by either A or B = 2.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of questions in the examination = 10

Probability of A's answer being correct = 0.7

Probability of B's answer being correct = 0.4

The expected number of questions that are answered correctly by both A and B:

           Probability of       Expected        

        Correct Answer       Value          Variance

A              0.7                     7 (0.7 * 10)    2.25

B              0.4                     4 (0.4 * 10)    2.25

Total expected value =    11

           Mean =                  5.5                2.25

Answer:

  A.  A two column table with five rows. The first column, x, has the entries, negative 3, negative 1, 1, 3. The second column, y, has the entries, 2, 2, 2, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship that has constant y-values is the one with zero slope. That would be the first table.

After a dreary day of rain, the sun peeks through the clouds and rainbow forms. You notice the rainbow is the shape of a parabol
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

We are given that,

The equation of the rainbow is represented by the parabola,

y=-x^2+36

Now, we are required to find a linear equation which cuts the graph of the parabola at two points.

Let us consider the equation joining the points (-6,0) and (0,36), given by y=6x+36.

So, the corresponding table for the linear equation is given by,

x             y=6x+36

-6                      0

0                       36

1                        42

6                       72

Now, we will answer the questions corresponding the functions.

1. Domain and Range of the rainbow.

Since, the equation of the rainbow is y=-x^2+36

So, from the figure, we get that,

Domain is the set of all real numbers.

Range is the set \{ y|y\leq 36 \}

<em>Here, domain represents the points which are used to plot the path of the rainbow and range represents the points which are form the rainbow.</em>

Not all points make sense in the range as the parabola is opening downwards having maximum point as (0,36).

2. X and Y-intercepts of the rainbow.

<em>As, the 'x and y-intercepts are the points where the graph of the function cuts x-axis and y-axis respectively i.e. where y=0 and x=0 receptively'.</em>

We see that from the figure below,

X-intercepts are (-6,0) and (6,0) and the Y-intercept is (0,36)

<em>Here, these intercepts represents the point where the parabola intersects the individual axis.</em>

3. Is the linear function positive or negative.

As the linear function is y=6x+36 represented by the <em>upward flight of the drone.</em>

So, the linear function is a positive function.

4. The solution of the system of equations is the intersection points of their graphs.

So, from the figure, we see that the equations intersect at the points (-6,0) and (0,36).

<em>Thus, the solution represents the position when both the drone and rainbow intersect each other.</em>

Notice that the alternative hypothesis is a two-tailed test. Suppose ttest_ind method from scipy module is used to perform the t
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The <em>p</em>-value of the test is 0.0512.

Step-by-step explanation:

The <em>p</em>-value of a test is well-defined as per the probability, [under the null hypothesis (H₀)], of attaining a result equivalent to or more extreme than what was the truly observed value of the test statistic.

In this case the output of the t-test_ind method from scipy module is provided as follows:

Output = (-1.99, 0.0512)

The first value within the parentheses is the test statistic value.

So the test statistic value is, -1.99.

And the second value within the parentheses is the <em>p</em>-value of the test.

So the <em>p</em>-value of the test is 0.0512.

alexira [117]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the numbers between 1 and 12, the numbers that are multiples of 4 or 6 are: 4, 6, 8, 12.

So the probability is 4/12, or 1/3.

Two armadillos and three aardvarks sat in a five-seat row at the Animal Auditorium. What is the probability that the two animals
Serhud [2]

Answer:

      \dfrac{1}{15}

Explanation:

The number of different ways in which the<em> two armadillos</em> would be at the ends of the row is 2:

                      P(2,2)=\dfrac{2!}{(2-2)!}=\dfrac{2}{0!}=2

The number of different combinations in which<em> two of the three aardvarks </em>can sit at the ends of the row is P(3,2):

          P(3,2)=\dfrac{3!}{(3-2)!}=\dfrac{3\times 2\times 1}{1}=6

Therefore, there are 2 + 6 = 8 different ways in which the two animlas on the ends of the row were both armadillos or both aardvarks.

Now calculate the total number of different ways in which the animals can sit. It is P(5,5):

        P(5,5)=\dfrac{5!}{(5-5)!}=5!=5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1=120

Thus, <em>the probability that the two animals on the ends of the row were both armadillos or both aardvarks</em> is equal to the number of favorable outputs divided by the total number of possible outputs:

      Probability=\dfrac{8}{120}=\dfrac{1}{15}
