Defined the total variation distance to be a distance TV(P,Q) between two probability measures P and Q. However, we will also refer to the total variation distance between two random variables or between two pdfs or two pmfs, as in the following.
Compute TV(X,X+a) for any a∈(0,1), where X∼Ber(0.5).
TV(X,X+a) = ?
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
Computing Tv(X, X + a ) for any a∈(0,1)
Given that : X∼Ber(0.5)
∴ The probability mass function
P(X = 1 ) = 0.5
P(X = 0) = ( 1 - 0.5 )
and expectation E[X] = 0.5
hence ; TV ( X, X + a ) = 1
A study of the effect of television commercials on 12-year-old children measured their attention span, in seconds. The commercials were for clothes, food, and toys.

43 30 52
24 38 58
42 46 43
35 54 49
28 47 63
31 42 53
17 34 48
31 43 58
Required:
a. Find the values of mean and standard deviation.
b. Is there a difference in the mean attention span Of the children for the various commercials?
Answer:
(a)
Mean
[tex]\bar x_1 = 31.375[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_2 = 41.75[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_3 = 53.00[/tex]
Standard deviation
[tex]\sigma_1 = 8.73[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_2 = 7.65[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_3 = 6.04[/tex]
(b) Yes, there is a difference in the mean
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving (a): The mean and standard deviation of each commercial
This is calculated as:
[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]
For clothes:
[tex]\bar x_1 = \frac{43+24+42+35+28+31+17+31}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_1 = \frac{251}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_1 = 31.375[/tex]
For food:
[tex]\bar x_2 = \frac{30+38+46+54+47+42+34+43}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_2 = \frac{334}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_2 = 41.75[/tex]
For toys:
[tex]\bar x_3 = \frac{52+58+43+49+63+53+48+58}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_3 = \frac{424}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_3 = 53.00[/tex]
The sample standard deviation is:
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x - \bar x)^2}{n-1}}[/tex]
For clothes:
[tex]\sigma_1 = \sqrt{\frac{(43 - 31.375)^2 +.............+(31 - 31.375)^2}{8-1}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_1 = \sqrt{\frac{533.875}{7}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_1 = \sqrt{76.2678571429}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_1 = 8.73[/tex]
For food:
[tex]\sigma_2 = \sqrt{\frac{(30 - 41.75)^2 +............+(43 - 41.75)^2}{8-1}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_2 = \sqrt{\frac{409.5}{7}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_2 = \sqrt{58.5}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_2 = 7.65[/tex]
For toys:
[tex]\sigma_3 = \sqrt{\frac{(52-53.00)^2+...................+(58-53.00)^2}{8}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_3 = \sqrt{\frac{292}{8}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_3 = \sqrt{36.5}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_3 = 6.04[/tex]
Solving (b): Difference in mean in the commercials;
In (a), we have:
[tex]\bar x_1 = 31.375[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_2 = 41.75[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_3 = 53.00[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_1 \ne \bar x_2 \ne \bar x_3[/tex]
Hence, there is a difference in their means
Given that abcd ~Jklm. Find the value of x, y, and z
Answer:
x = 7.2
y = 10
z = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since ABCD ~ JKLM, therefore, the ratio of their corresponding sides would be equal. Thus:
JK/AB = KL/BC = LM/CD = JM/AD
Substitute
12/x = y/6 = 15/9 = 10/z
✔️Find x:
12/x = 15/9
12/x = 5/3
Cross multiply
x*5 = 3*12
5x = 36
x = 36/5
x = 7.2
✔️Find y:
y/6 = 15/9
y/6 = 5/3
Cross multiply
y*3 = 5*6
3y = 30
y = 30/3
y = 10
✔️Find z:
15/9 = 10/z
5/3 = 10/z
Cross multiply
5*z = 10*3
5z = 30
z = 30/5
z = 6
. A population of rabbits oscillates 25 above and below an average of 129 during the year, hitting the lowest value in January (t = 0). a. Find an equation for the population, P, in terms of the months since January, t. b. What if the lowest value of the rabbit population occurred in April instead?
Answer:
Because we know that here we have an oscillation, we can model this with a sine or cosine function.
P = A*cos(k*t) + M
where:
k is the frequency
A is the amplitude
M is the midline
We know that at t = 0, we have the lowest population.
We know that the mean is 129, so this is the midline.
We know that the population oscillates 25 above and below this midline,
And we know that for t = 0 we have the lowest population, so:
P = A*cos(k*0) + 129 = 129 - 25
P = A + 129 = 129 - 25
A = -25
So, for now, our equation is
P = -25*cos(k*t) + 129
Because this is a yearly period, we should expect to see the same thing for t = 12 (because there are 12 months in one year).
And remember that the period of a cosine function is 2*pi
Then:
k*12 = 2*pi
k = (2*pi)/12 = pi/6
Finally, the equation is:
P = -25*cos(t*pi/6) + 129
Now we want to find the lowest population was in April instead:
if January is t = 0, then:
February is t = 2
March is t = 3
April is t = 4
Then we would have that the minimum is at t = 4
If we want to still use a cosine equation, we need to use a phase p, such that now our equation is:
P = -25*cos(k*t + p) + 129
Such that:
cos(k*4 + p) = 1
Then:
k*4 + p = 0
p = -k*4
So our equation now is:
P = -25*cos(k*t - 4*k) + 129
And for the periodicity, after 12 months, in t = 4 + 12 = 16, we should have the same population.
Then, also remembering that the period of the cosine function is 2*pi:
k*12 - 4*k = 2*pi
k*8 = 2*pi
k = 2*pi/8 = pi/4
And remember that we got:
p = -4*k = -4*(pi/4) = -pi
Then the equation for the population in this case is:
P = -25*cos( t*pi/4 - pi) + 129

Someone please help with the questions on this picture!! URGENT!!!
Answer:
A) Independent
B) Dependent
Step-by-step explanation:
A) If we take a marble out and put the marble back, it means we have restored the sample to what it was initially and thus it doesn't affect probability of making another selection.
Thus, this is an independent event.
B) A card is taken from a deck of cards without replacement and set aside. Then after that another card is taken from the first sample, this means that the first sample size has now reduced and thus the first card taken affects the probability of the second card to be picked. Thus, this is a dependent event.

A brick staircase has a total of 17 steps The bottom step requires 131 bricks. Each successive step requires 5 less bricks than the prior one. How many bricks are required to build the staircase?
Answer: 1547 bricks are required to build the staircase.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given:
Number of bricks in the first step, [tex]a_1[/tex] = 131
Number of bricks in the second step, [tex]a_2[/tex] = 131 - 5 = 126
Number of bricks in the third step, [tex]a_3[/tex] = 126 - 5 = 121
Sequence become:
131, 126, 121, .....
These are in arithmetic progression where a = 131 and d (common difference) = -5
To calculate the sum of an AP, we use the formula:
[tex]S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d][/tex]
where,
n = number of terms = 17
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]S_n=\frac{17}{2}[2(131)+(17-1)(-5)]\\\\S_n=\frac{17\times 182}{2}=1547[/tex]
Hence, 1547 bricks are required to build the staircase.

Solve the equation ln(x - 3) + ln(x + 1) = ln(x + 7)
x = 5, or x = ???
Answer:
x = 5 or x = - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the rules of logarithms
log x + log y = log (xy)
log x = log y ⇒ x = y
Given
ln(x- 3) + ln(x + 1) = ln(x + 7) , then
ln (x - 3)(x + 1) = ln (x + 7) , so
(x - 3)(x + 1) = x + 7 ← expand left side using FOIL
x² - 2x - 3 = x + 7 ( subtract x + 7 from both sides )
x² - 3x - 10 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

The equation of the new function is [tex]g(x) = \frac{x}{3}[/tex]
Given the system of equations, what is the solution? 2x+y = -1 х- у = -5
Answer:
x=-2, y=3
Step-by-step explanation:
make it easy first, solve for x in the second equation: x= -5+y.
then sub that in for the other x: 2(-5+y)+y= -1
now combine like terms: -10+3y= -1
solve for y: 3y=9, y= 3
then replace y for your second equation: x-3= -5
solve for x= -5+3.... so then its -2
check by replacing all variables with your new solutions:
2(-2), which is -4+3 does equal -1
(-2) -3 does equal -5.
your answers are x=-2, y=3
2. Suppose the measures of the interior angles of a convex octagon are eight
numbers, each separated by a value of 1 degree from its neighbors. Find
the measure of the second smallest angle.
118°
131°
132.5°
142°
None of these answers are correct.
=====================================================
Explanation:
The interior angles are consecutive numbers such as 1,2,3,... or 7,8,9... and so on. The gap between any two adjacent neighbors is 1.
For any polygon with n sides, the interior angles add up to 180(n-2)
We have n = 8 sides so the interior angles sum to 180(n-2) = 180(8-2) = 1080 degrees.
Any octagon has its interior angles add up to 1080 degrees.
-----------------------------
Let x be the smallest angle. The next angle up is x+1. After that is x+2 and so on until we reach x+7 as the 8th angle.
Add up those 8 angles, set the sum equal to 1080 and solve for x
x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+4)+(x+5)+(x+6)+(x+7) = 1080
8x+28 = 1080
8x = 1080-28
8x = 1052
x = 1052/8
x = 131.5
This is the smallest angle. The next angle up or the second smallest angle is x+1 = 131.5+1 = 132.5 degrees (choice C)
x( 3x - 2y + 4z)x = -2, y = 4, and z = -3

Given:
Line A goes through (0,y) and (-2,0).
Line B goes through (1,2) and (3,10).
To find:
The value of y for which the system of given linear equation (equation of line A and line B) has no solutions.
Solution:
Two linear equation has no solutions if they are parallel line.
Slope formula:
[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
We know that the slopes of two parallel lines are the same.
So, the given system of given linear equation has no solutions if
Slope of line A = Slope of line B
[tex]\dfrac{0-y}{-2-0}=\dfrac{10-2}{3-1}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{-y}{-2}=\dfrac{8}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{y}{2}=4[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 2.
[tex]\dfrac{y}{2}\times 2=4\times 2[/tex]
[tex]y=8[/tex]
Therefore, the required value of y is 8.
