please help, thank you

(a) Let X and Y be the arrival times of buses A and B respectively, it is given that buses A and B are independent and hence X and Y are independent random variables.

Therefore, X and Y are also degenerate at c.

Since a person arrives at the bus stop at time 0, the arrival times of buses A and B cannot be negative

i.e., X, Y ≥ 0.

Also, both buses cannot arrive at time 0

i.e., P(X = 0, Y = 0) = 0.

Now, suppose that X and Y are not degenerate. T

hen, their joint distribution function is given by:

F(X, Y) = P(X ≤ x, Y ≤ y) > 0, for some x, y ≥ 0.

Using the independence of X and Y, we get:

F(X, Y) = P(X ≤ x)P(Y ≤ y) > 0,

for some x, y ≥ 0.

Since P(XY = 0) = 0,

we have XY ≠ 0 and

hence P(XY = c) > 0,

for some c ≠ 0.

Now, for a fixed ε > 0,

let Bε = {(x, y) : |xy - c| < ε}.

Then, P((X, Y) ∈ Bε) > 0.

Similarly, let B'ε = {(x, y) : x < ε} and

B''ε = {(x, y) : y < ε}.

Then, P((X, Y) ∈ B'ε) > 0

and P((X, Y) ∈ B''ε) > 0.

Now, we have:

Bε ⊆ B'ε ∪ B''ε and (X, Y) ∈ B'ε

if and only if X < ε and (X, Y) ∈ B''ε

if and only if Y < ε.So,

using the union bound and taking ε small enough, we get:

P(X < ε) + P(Y < ε) > P((X, Y) ∈ Bε) > 0.

This contradicts the assumption that P(X = 0, Y = 0) = 0.

Therefore, X and Y must be degenerate.

Now, we will show that if XY is degenerate at c ≠ 0

i.e., P(XY = c) = 1,

then X and Y are also degenerate at the same point.

To see this, note that for any Borel sets A, B ⊆ R, we have:

P(X ∈ A, Y ∈ B) = P(XY ∈ A × B) = P(XY = c)

= 1, if (c ∈ A × B) or (c is an isolated point of A × B).

Therefore, X and Y are also degenerate at c.

This completes the proof of the required statement.

The sequence {aₙ} defined by a₀ = 2, a₁ = 3, and aₙ = 6aₙ₋₁ - 8aₙ₋₂ produces the terms:

2, 3, 2, -12, -88, -432, ...

To define the sequence {aₙ}, given a₀ = 2, a₁ = 3, and the recursive formula aₙ = 6aₙ₋₁ - 8aₙ₋₂, we can calculate the subsequent terms of the sequence.

Using the given initial conditions, we have:

a₀ = 2

a₁ = 3

To find a₂, we substitute n = 2 into the recursive formula:

a₂ = 6a₁ - 8a₀

   = 6(3) - 8(2)

   = 18 - 16

   = 2

To find a₃, we substitute n = 3 into the recursive formula:

a₃ = 6a₂ - 8a₁

   = 6(2) - 8(3)

   = 12 - 24

   = -12

Continuing this process, we can find the subsequent terms of the sequence:

a₄ = 6a₃ - 8a₂

   = 6(-12) - 8(2)

   = -72 - 16

   = -88

a₅ = 6a₄ - 8a₃

   = 6(-88) - 8(-12)

   = -528 + 96

   = -432

and so on.

Therefore, the sequence {aₙ} defined by a₀ = 2, a₁ = 3, and aₙ = 6aₙ₋₁ - 8aₙ₋₂ produces the terms:

2, 3, 2, -12, -88, -432, ...

Please note that if you need the general formula for the nth term of the sequence, it may require a different approach as the given recursive formula is not a linear recurrence relation with constant coefficients.

When performing polynomial regression, it is advisable to use the smallest degree that provides a good fit.

Polynomial regression involves fitting a polynomial function to a set of data points. The degree of the polynomial represents the highest power of the independent variable in the equation.

By using the smallest degree that provides a good fit, we aim to strike a balance between model complexity and overfitting.

Using a smaller degree helps prevent overfitting, which occurs when a model becomes too complex and captures noise or random fluctuations in the data. Overfitting leads to poor generalization, meaning the model may perform well on the training data but poorly on new, unseen data.

By using the smallest degree that provides a good fit, we minimize the risk of overfitting and ensure that the model captures the underlying trend in the data without incorporating unnecessary complexity.

This approach helps create a more robust and reliable model for making predictions on new data.

Answer:

The 16ᵗʰ term of this sequence is 82

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

First Term = a₁ = 9

Common Difference = (d) = 2

Now, For 16ᵗʰ term, n = 16

aₙ = a + (n - 1)d

a₁₆ = 7 + (16 - 1) × 2

a₁₆ = 7 + 15 × 5

a₁₆ = 7 + 75

a₁₆ = 82

Thus, The 16ᵗʰ term of this sequence is 82

The given integral is: $$\int (-2x^2 + 500)dx$$

To solve the above integral, we integrate both terms separately. Using the integral formulas, $$\int x^n dx= \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}+ C$$$$\int kf(x)dx= k\int f(x)dx$$

where C is a constant of integration and k is a constant.

The integral $\int -2x^2 dx$ is:\begin{align*} \int -2x^2 dx &= -2\int x^2 dx\\&= -2\times \frac{x^{2+1}} {2+1} + C\\&= -\frac {2}{3}x^3+ C\end{align*}

The integral $\int 500 dx$ is:\begin{align*}\int 500 dx &= 500\int dx\\&= 500\times x + C\\&= 500x + C\end{align*}

Thus, the integral $\int (-2x^2 + 500) dx$ is:\begin{align*}\int (-2x^2 + 500) dx &= \int -2x^2 dx + \int 500 dx\\&= (-\frac {2}{3}x^3+ C_1) + (500x + C_2)\\&= -\frac {2}{3}x^3+ 500x + C\end{align*}

where C is a constant of integration and $C=C_1+C_2$.

Therefore, the exact value of the integral is $-\frac {2}{3}x^3+ 500x + C$.

If a normal distribution with a mean of 7.5 and a standard deviation of 1.2. (a) The probability that a cookie has less than 9 chips is 0.8944. (b) The probability that a random sample of 4 cookies has an average of fewer than 9 chips per cookie is 0.9938.

As μ = 7.5, σ = 1.2. The number of chips in a given cookie is in a normal distribution. We need to estimate the following probabilities:

(a) For this, we need to identify the probability of a Z-score when X=9. We can calculate it using the formula,

Z = (X-μ)/σ.

Therefore,

Z = (9-7.5)/1.2 = 1.25.

Now we can use the standard normal distribution table or calculator to identify the probability associated with the Z-score of 1.25. Using the calculator, P(Z &lt; 1.25) = 0.8944.

(b) For this, we need to identify the probability of the Z-score when X = 9, n=4. We can calculate it using the formula,

Z = (X-μ)/(σ/√n).

Therefore,

Z = (9-7.5)/(1.2/√4) = 2.5.

Now we can use the standard normal distribution table or calculator to identify the probability associated with the Z-score of 2.5. Using the calculator, P(Z &lt; 2.5) = 0.9938.
