Compound Probability

Compound probability can be defined as the probability of the two events which are independent. It can be defined as the multiplication of the probability of two events that are not dependent.

Tree diagram

Probability theory is a branch of mathematics that deals with the subject of probability. Although there are many different concepts of probability, probability theory expresses the definition mathematically through a series of axioms. Usually, these axi…

Conditional Probability

By definition, the term probability is expressed as a part of mathematics where the chance of an event that may either occur or not is evaluated and expressed in numerical terms. The range of the value within which probability can be expressed is between…

Question

Chapter 2.1, Problem 33WE

To determine

Whether the given statement is true for all real numbers.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 33WE

If a number is between 0 and 1 and if it is multiplied by itself, the result will be smaller than the original number.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given statement is:

If a > 0 and a < 1, then a2<a.

Calculation:

From the first two given inequalities, it can be said that a is a real number that lies between 0 and 1.

According to the third inequality, the square of a is less than a.

Square of a number is equal to the product of the number with itself.

Let us take an example:

Let a be a number between 0 and 1, say 0.5.

0.5×0.5=0.25and,0.25<0.5

Therefore, it is proven that if a number is between 0 and 1 and if it is multiplied by itself, the result will be smaller than the original number.
