True or False? Justify the answer with a proof or a counterexample.
367. Every function has a derivative.

To show:Justify whether every function has a derivative or not.
Answer to Problem 367RE
False
Explanation of Solution
Formula Used :The definition of derivative is given by, if
Let us consider the counter example,
Here, f(x) is continuous for all real values of x. But it is not differentiable at x= 0.
Hence, f(x) is not differentiable at x=0.

Let X represent the number of heads that can come up. With each sample point we can associate a number for X as shown in Table. Thus, for example, in the case of HH (i.e., 2 heads), X =2 while for TH (1 head), X = 1. It follows that X is a random variable.arrow_forward
