Logarithm rules i.e. $-1/2 cdot log_2(2/9)$ to $2/9cdot log_2(2)$?

I'm struggling to understand the flow of calculation as shown in the picture below.

It would be really nice if someone can explain how does one reach from step one to step two and which Logarithm rules were applied here to reach the second step from the first one.



Thank you! :)

    While the other substitutions are clear, the replacement you emphazized in the title does not make much sense to me. I mean clearly $-frac{1}{2} log_2 left(frac{2}{9}right) neq frac{2}{9}log_2 2 = frac{2]{9}$.

I'll give you the steps, but you should probably familiarize yourself with the (very simple) rules: https://www.chilimath.com/lessons/advanced-algebra/logarithm-rules/.



begin{align}
&1 - frac{-frac{1}{3}log_2left(frac{1}{3}right) - frac{1}{2}log_2left(frac{2}{9}right)}{-sumlimits_{s = 1}^9 frac{1}{9}log_2left(frac{1}{9}right)}\\
&textrm{Denominator: You're just adding the same thing 9 times}\\
= &1 - frac{frac{1}{3}log_2left(left(frac{1}{3}right)^{-1}right) + frac{1}{2}log_2left(left(frac{2}{9}right)^{-1}right)}{-9 cdot frac{1}{9}log_2left(frac{1}{9}right)}\\
= &1 - frac{frac{1}{3}log_2left(3right) + frac{1}{2}log_2left(frac{9}{2}right)}{-log_2left(frac{1}{9}right)}\\
= &1 - frac{frac{1}{3}log_2left(3right) + frac{1}{2}log_2left(frac{9}{2}right)}{log_2left(left(frac{1}{9}right)^{-1}right)}\\
= &1 - frac{frac{1}{3}log_2left(3right) + frac{1}{2}log_2left(frac{9}{2}right)}{log_2left(9right)}\\
= &1 - frac{frac{1}{3}log_2left(3right) + frac{1}{2}left(log_2left(9right) - log_2left(2right)right)}{log_2left(9right)}\\
= &1 - frac{frac{1}{3}log_2left(3right) + frac{1}{2}log_2left(9right) - frac{1}{2}}{log_2left(9right)}\\
end{align}



For this to be equal to the second step, you'd need $frac{1}{2}log_2left(9right) - frac{1}{2} = frac{2}{9}log_2left(2right) = frac{2}{9}$ to be true. It's not: $frac{1}{2}log_2left(9right) - frac{1}{2} approx 1.1$ and $frac{2}{9} approx 0.2$.

            Probability when a professor distributes a quiz and homework assignment to a class of n students.

            Image
            0 0 $begingroup$ Need help with this problem. Suppose our lazy professor collects a quiz and a homework assignment from a class of n students one day, then distributes both the quizzes and the homework assignments back to the class in a random fashion for grading. Each student receives one quiz and one homework assignment to grade. (a) What is the probability that every student receives someone else's quiz to grade, and someone else's homework to grade? (b) What is the probability that no student receives both their own quiz and their own homework assignment to grade? In this case, some students may receive their own quiz, and others may receive their own homework assignment. (c) Compute the limiting probability as n approaches infinity in each case. ...
