g True or false: For continuous random variables, the probability of being less than some value, x, IS NOT the same as the probability of being less than or equal to the same value, x. Group of answer choices True False

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  False

===========================================================

Explanation:

The given statement is claiming something like [tex]P(X < 2)[/tex] produces a different result compared to [tex]P(X \le 2)[/tex]. The subtle difference of course is the "or equal to".

When talking about continuous random variables, the two values are the same. Why? Because probability of selecting *exactly* X = 2 is going to be zero. Think of a very very thin strip of height P(X = 2) and the width is approaching zero. The width is doing this because we're trying to pinpoint X = 2 itself. As you can see, this skinny rectangle will have its area approach 0. Ultimately, whether we compute [tex]P(X < 2)[/tex] or [tex]P(X \le 2)[/tex], it doesn't matter. They both produce the same result.

If you are a visual learner, consider the standard normal distribution. Now consider the task if shading to the left of z = 2. This area describes both probabiltiies mentioned above.

If X is a continuous random variable, then [tex]P(X < 2) = P(X \le 2)[/tex] and we can change the "2" to any number we want to have the same outcome.

Therefore, the original claim is false.

-------------------------

Extra info:

Now if X was discrete (say from the binomial distribution), then the two probabilities would be different. This is because

[tex]P(X < 2) = P(0) + P(1)\\\\P(X \le 2) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2)\\\\P(X < 2) \ne P(X \le 2) \ \text{only if X is discrete}[/tex]

We can see in this case that the second line has P(2) while the first one does not.

So the original claim would be true if we changed "continuous" to "discrete".

Probability helps us to know the chances of an event occurring. The probability of getting a tail and an even number is 0.25.

What is Probability?

Probability helps us to know the chances of an event occurring.

[tex]\rm Probability=\dfrac{Desired\ Outcomes}{Total\ Number\ of\ outcomes\ possible}[/tex]

Since a coin has two faces, therefore, the probability of getting either of the sides of the coin is (1/2). While a die has six faces, so the probability of getting any side of the die is (1/6).

A.) The probability of getting a tail and an even number can be written as,

[tex]\text{Probability of getting a tail} = \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Probability of Even Number(2,4,6) } = \dfrac{3}{6} = \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Probability (Tails and an even number)} = \dfrac12 \times \dfrac12 = 0.25[/tex]


B.) The Probability of getting tails and the number 9 can be written as,

[tex]\text{Probability of getting a tail} = \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Probability of Number 9} = \dfrac{0}{6} = 0[/tex]

[tex]\text{Probability of the tails and the number 9} = 0[/tex]

C.) The Probability of getting Heads or a number bigger than 4 can be written as,

[tex]\text{Probability of getting a Head} = \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Probability of a number bigger than 4 (5,6) } = \dfrac{2}{6} = \dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Probability (Heads or a number bigger than 4 )} = \dfrac12 + \dfrac13 = \dfrac{5}{6} = 0.83333[/tex]

D.) The Probability of getting Heads or the number 2 can be written as,

[tex]\text{Probability of getting a Head} = \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Probability of the number 2} = \dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Probability (Heads or the number 2 )} = \dfrac12 + \dfrac16 = \dfrac{8}{12} = 0.6666[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Norberto received the following scores on his last five spelling tests 93, 66, 78, 85, and 98. Which of the following statements
is true?
A) The median of the set of scores is 78.
B) The mean of the set is less than the median.
C) The mode of the set of scores is 93
D) The mean of the set is more than the median.

Answers

A) and b) because the median is the number in the middle which is 78 and as I calculated I got the mean as 84 so the mean is more than the median. Hope I helped!

The mean of the set is less than the median. Option B is correct.

Given that,
Norberto received the following scores on his last five spelling tests 93, 66, 78, 85, and 98.

What is mean?

The mean of the values is the ratio of the total sum of values to the number of values.

Here,
Marks scored by Norberto in 5 spelling tests are 93, 66, 78, 85, and 98.
Mean of marks score = total marks scored / total spelling test
Mean of marks score = (93 + 66 + 78 + 85 + 98) / 5
Mean of marks score = 420 / 5 = 84

Now,
In order to get the median,
Arrange the marks in ascending order,
66, 78, 85, 93, 98
n = 5
median = (n + 1) / 2th term  
             = (5 + 1) / 2th term
             =  6 / 2 = 3 th term
Median = 85
Here, 85 > 84 implies the median is more than the mean.

Thus, the mean of the set is less than the median. Option B is correct.

Answer:

x = -1, y = 0 or (-1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two equations :

-5x - y = 5x = 7y - 1

Take the value of x in Equation 2 and substitute in Equation 1.

-5(7y - 1) - y = 5-35y + 5 - y = 5-36y = 0y = 0

Now, take the value of y and substitute in Equation 2.

x = 7(0) - 1x = -1

Solution

x = -1, y = 0 or (-1, 0)

Answer:

The lines intersect at the point (-1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

−5(      )−y=5

-5(7y-1) - y = 5    substitute the x=7y-1 into first equation

-35y + 5 - y =5   multiply -5

-36y + 5 = 5        combine like terms

-36y = 0              subtract 5

y=0                      divide by -36

x=7(0)-1                substitute 0 for y in x=7(  )-1

Rollie borrowed some money from his sister. Their brother wanted to know how much Rollie borrowed, but Rollie wouldn’t tell him. Instead, Rollie gave his brother a riddle.

“Each month, I paid our sister one-third of the amount I still owed her plus an additional $3. At the end of 3 months, I still owed her $3.”

Solve the riddle to find out how much money Rollie borrowed from his sister.
Explain how you arrived at your solution.

Answers

By working with fractions, we will see that the amount that Rollie borrowed from his sister is $31.50.

How much Rollie borrowed?

Let's say that Rollie borrowed a quantity x.

The first month, Rollie returns one third of x + $3, so now he owes:

x - x/3 - 3 = (2/3)*x - 3

the second month returns another third of what he owes plus $3, so now he returns:

(1/3)*((2/3)*x - 3) + 3 = (2/9)*x + 2

So no he owes:

(2/3)*x - 3 - (2/9)*x - 2 = (4/9)*x - 5

Finally, on the third month he returns:

(1/3)*((4/9)*x - 5) + 3 = (4/27)*x - 5/3 + 3 = (4/27)*x + 4/3

Now he owes:

(4/9)*x - 5 -  (4/27)*x - 4/3 = (8/27)*x - 19/3

And that is equal to $3, what he owes at the end of the third month, so we need to solve:

(8/27)*x - 19/3 = 3

(8/27)*x = 3 + 19/3 = 28/3

Solving for x, we get:

x = (27/8)*(28/3) = 31.5

So Rollie borrowed $31.5 from his sister.

Answers

Answer:

Minimum: 189

Maximum: 786

Median: 572

Lower quartile: 275

Upper quartile: 653

Step-by-step explanation:

Listing the numbers in order from least to greatest, we have: 189, 274, 276, 403, 572, 649, 652, 654, 786.

From this, we can see that the smallest (minimum) value is 189, and the largest (maximum) value is 786.

We can find the the median by taking off a number from each side of the number set one by one. When done, we can see that the number in the middle is 572, so that is our median.

To find the upper and lower quartiles, split the number set in half where the median lies and find the median of those two sections.

Q1: 189, 274, 276, 403

274 + 276 = 550

550 ÷ 2 = 275

--------------------------

Q3: 649, 652, 654, 786

652 + 654 = 1306

1306 ÷ 2 = 653

So, the lower quartile range is 275, and the upper quartile range is 653.

Polynomial is an expression that consists of indeterminates(variable) and coefficient. The polynomial f(x) is x³-12x²+256=0.

What are polynomial?

Polynomial is an expression that consists of indeterminates(variable) and coefficient, it involves mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc, and non-negative integer exponentials.

As the zeros of the polynomial are 8(multiplicity 2), -4. Therefore, the factors of the polynomial can be written as,

[tex]x = 8\\x-8=0[/tex]

[tex]x =-4\\x+4=0[/tex]
