Answer

The answer is: The thane of Cawdor is still alive but has been rightly sentenced to death.

Explanation
Option 1: The thane of Cawdor was thought to be alive but has died unexpectedly.

This option is incorrect because Angus clearly states that the Thane of Cawdor is still alive, although he is under heavy judgment.

Option 2: The thane of Cawdor is to be hanged for his betrayal to the king.

While this option suggests a consequence for betrayal, it does not accurately paraphrase the underlined text, which emphasizes that the Thane is still alive but has been sentenced.

Option 3: The thane of Cawdor became lost while trying to escape his trial.

This option is incorrect as there is no mention of the Thane of Cawdor trying to escape or becoming lost.

Option 4: The thane of Cawdor is still alive but has been rightly sentenced to death.

This option accurately paraphrases the underlined text. Angus explains that the Thane of Cawdor is alive but has been judged and sentenced to death for his treasonous actions.

A psychologist determined that the number of sessions required to obtain the trust of a new patient is either 1,2 , or 3. Let x be a random variable indicating the number of sessions required to gain the patient's trust. The following probability function has been proposed. f(x) = x / 6 for x=1,2, or 3 a. Consider the required conditions for a discrete probability function, shown below. f(x) ≥ 0 sum f(x) = 1 Does this probability distribution satisfy equation ( 5.1 )? Yes, all probability function values are greater than or equal to 0 Does this probability distribution satisfy equation (5.2)? Yes. the sum of all probability function values equals 1 b. What is the probability that it takes exactly 2 sessions to gain the patient's trust (to 3 decimals)? 1 / 3 c. What is the probability that it takes at least 2 sessions to gain the patient's trust (to 3 decimals)?
