Suppose that x and y are independent geometric random variables with the same parameter p.
(a) without any computations, what do you think is the value of p{x = i|x + y = n}? hint: imagine that you continually flip a coin hav- ing probability p of coming up heads. if the second head occurs on the nth flip, what is the probability mass function of the time of the first head?
(b) verify your conjecture in part (a).

Eight people were asked what the balance of their savings account at the beginning of the month was and how much it increased or decreased by the end of the month. create a scatter plot that represents the data that is shown in the table. the x-axis represents the beginning balance in thousands of dollars and the y-axis represents the change in the savings account in hundreds of dollars. name beginning balance (in thousands of dollars) change in savings account (in hundreds of dollars) jimmy 5 3 kendra 4 7 carlos 5 4 yolanda 3 1 shawn 2 5 laura 3 2 andy 5 6 georgia 4 3

After a dreary day of rain, the sun peeks through the clouds and a rainbow forms. you notice the rainbow is the shape of a parabola. the equation for this parabola is y = -x2 + 36. graph of a parabola opening down at the vertex 0 comma 36 crossing the x–axis at negative 6 comma 0 and 6 comma 0. in the distance, an airplane is taking off. as it ascends during take-off, it makes a slanted line that cuts through the rainbow at two points. create a table of at least four values for the function that includes two points of intersection between the airplane and the rainbow. analyze the two functions. answer the following reflection questions in complete sentences. what is the domain and range of the rainbow? explain what the domain and range represent. do all of the values make sense in this situation? why or why not? what are the x- and y-intercepts of the rainbow? explain what each intercept represents. is the linear function you created with your table positive or negative? explain. what are the solutions or solution to the system of equations created? explain what it or they represent. create your own piecewise function with at least two functions. explain, using complete sentences, the steps for graphing the function. graph the function by hand or using a graphing software of your choice (remember to submit the graph).
