Is the situation continuous or discrete?

Suppose that 3% of all athletes are using the endurance-enhancing hormone epo (you should be able to simply compute the percentage of all athletes that are not using epo). for our purposes, a “positive” test result is one that indicates presence of epo in an athlete’s bloodstream. the probability of a positive result, given the presence of epo is .99. the probability of a negative result, when epo is not present, is .90. what is the probability that a randomly selected athlete tests positive for epo? 0.0297

A. plot the data for the functions f(x) and g(x) on a grid and connect the points. x -2 -1 0 1 2 f(x) 1/9 1/3 1 3 9 x -2 -1 0 1 2 g(x) -4 -2 0 2 4 b. which function could be described as exponential and which as linear? explain. c. if the functions continue with the same pattern, will the function values ever be equal? if so, give estimates for the value of x that will make the function values equals. if not, explain why the function values will never be equal.

Consider a bag that contains 220 coins of which 6 are rare indian pennies. for the given pair of events a and b, complete parts (a) and (b) below. a: when one of the 220 coins is randomly selected, it is one of the 6 indian pennies. b: when another one of the 220 coins is randomly selected (with replacement), it is also one of the 6 indian pennies. a. determine whether events a and b are independent or dependent. b. find p(a and b), the probability that events a and b both occur.
