In a valid probability distribution, each probability must be between 0 and 1, inclusive, and the probabilities must add up to 1.
If a probability distribution is 1/5, 1/5, 1/2, x, what is the value of x?
A. 1/10
B. 3/10
C. 3/5
D. 1/5

Answers

Answer 1

Since the probabilities must add up to 1, we have to solve this equation :

1/5 + 1/5 + 1/2 + x = 1

2/5 + 1/2 + x = 1

4 / 10 + 5 / 10 + x = 1

9/10 + x = 1

x = 1 - 9/10

x = 10/10 - 9/10

x = 1/10

So the value of x is 1/10

Answer 2

Option A is correct, the value of x should be 1/10.

What is Probability?

It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event.

In a valid probability distribution, the sum of all probabilities must be equal to 1.

We know that the given probability distribution is 1/5, 1/5, 1/2, x. Therefore, we can write an equation:

1/5 + 1/5 + 1/2 + x = 1

Simplifying the equation, we get:

2/5 + x = 1/2

Subtract 2/5 from both sides

x=1/2-2/5

x=5-4/10

x=1/10

Hence, option A is correct, the value of x should be 1/10.

Your above-ground pool has sprung a leak, and you do not have a way to fix it. At 12 noon, the water in the pool is 5 feet deep (in other words, the water level is 5 feet above the ground). You are not sure how quickly the pool level is falling, so you check again after 40 minutes and see that the height of the water level is now feet. You notice that there is a relationship between the time that has passed to the height of the water level in the pool.

1. The amount of Kelly's paycheck varies directly with the number of hours
she works. Kelly receives $139.80 for 12 hours of work.

(a) Write a direct variation equation that relates the amount of Kelly's paycheck, y, to the number of hours, x,
that Kelly works.

(b) Use the equation to find the amount of Kelly's paycheck when she works 40 hours.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = kx ; k = [tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex]

~~~~~~~~~~

(a). 139.8 = k × 12

k = 139.8 ÷ 12 = 11.65 ⇒ Kelly earns $11.65 per hour

y = 11.65x

(b). y = 11.65 × 40 = 466

Kelly's paycheck when she works 40 hours is $466.00

Find the equation of the straight line passing through the point (3,5) which is perpendicular to the line y=3x+2

Answers

Answer:

the desired equation is y = (-1/3)x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the given line be A:  y=3x+2

The slope of line A is m = 3.

The slope of any line B which is perpendicular to line A is the negative reciprocal of the slope of A:  m = -(1/3).

The particular perpendicular line that passes through (3, 5) is then

5 = (-1/3)(3) + b, which simplifies to 5 = -1 + b, or b = 6.

Thus, the desired equation is y = (-1/3)x + 6

How many months would it take the bamboo plant shown in the graph to be 66 inches tall

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Choose the equation that represents the graph shown?

Answers

The graph shown represents an absolute function.

The equation of the graph is [tex]\mathbf{y = -\frac 12|x|}[/tex]

Considering the straight on the right, we have the following points

[tex]\mathbf{(x,y) = (0,0) (4,-2)}[/tex]

Start by calculating the slope (m)

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{-2 - 0}{4-0}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{m = \frac{-2 }{4}}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]\mathbf{m = -\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]

So, the slope of the line is -1/2

The equation is then calculated as:

[tex]\mathbf{y = m(x - x_1) + y_1}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{y = -\frac 12(x -0) + 0}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = -\frac 12(x)}[/tex]

Represent x as an absolute value

[tex]\mathbf{y = -\frac 12|x|}[/tex]

Hence, the equation of the graph is [tex]\mathbf{y = -\frac 12|x|}[/tex]

It is given that Mary has 2 1/5 hours before she needs to meet her friend. She needs to take care of 7 chores before then.

Hence, we get

2 and 1/5 hours = 132 minutes (120 + 12)

thus, Mary will have 132/7 = 18.85714285714286 minutes for each chore.

if 5/6 of the 30 motorcycles were new, how many motorcycles were used​

Answers

Answer:

5 Motorcycles are used

30÷6= 5

5×5= 25

30-24=5

so the answer is 5

Answer:

5 out of the 30 motorcycles are used

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we should look at what we know. We know that there are 30 motorcycles in total. As a fraction, that'd be 30/30. We also know that of that 30, the equivalent of 5/6 are brand new.

Our next step is to figure out how much 5/6 is out of 30. Since we know that in total there 30/30 motorcycles, we need to convert 5/6 to have a denominator of 30. So what times 6 equals 30.

30 ÷ 6 = ?    opposite of 6 x ? = 30

5                   divide

So now we now that 6 times 5 equals 30. What we do to the denominator we must do to the numerator.

[tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{5}{5}[/tex]    

[tex]\frac{25}{30}[/tex]

Now we know that 25 of the 30 motorcycles are new and all we need to do is subtract that 25 from the total 30 to get 5. This tells us that 5 of the total motorcycles are used.

There are 135 people in a sport centre. 73 people use the gym. 59 people use the swimming pool. 31 people use the track 19 people use the gym and the pool. 9 people use the pool and the track 16 people use the gym and the track, 4 people use all three facilities. Given that a randomly selected person uses at least two facilities, what is the probability they use all the facilities?​

Answers

Answer:

1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

4 people use all three facilities, then

16 - 4 = 12 people use the gym and the track and do not use the pool;

9 - 4 = 5 people use the pool and the track and do not use the gym;

19 - 4 = 15 people use the gym and the pool and do not use the track.

At least two facilities use 4 + 12 + 5 + 15 = 36 people, 4 of them use all three facilities. Thus, the probability that a randomly selected person which uses at least two facilities, uses all the facilities is 4/36
