Answer:

  it saves 2.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of a random variable is the sum of products of possibilities and the probability of each.

Here, you have a probability of 0.9 of saving 5 minutes, and a probability of 0.1 of adding 20 minutes.

__

The expected value of the shortcut is ...

  0.9(-5) +0.1(20) = -4.5 +2.0 = -2.5

The shortcut is expected to save 2.5 minutes on average.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The probability of 0.9 comes from the 9 of 10 trips that result in a time saving.

91. Jack can read 45 pages of his book in one and a
Digiron [165]

Answer:

10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

45 pages per 1 hour and 30 minutes,  or 60 min +30 min =90 min

90 minutes / 45 pages has to be equal to an equivalent fraction where we have 300 pages

90 minutes /45 pages = ? minutes / 300 pages , multiply both sides by 300

? minutes = 90*300/45 = 600 minutes

to read 300-page book will take 600 minutes = 10 hours

The curve with equation y=e^2x/4+3e^x has one stationary point.find the exact value of the coordinates of this point
Softa [21]
y=\dfrac{e^{2x}}{4+3e^x}
\implies y'=\dfrac{2e^{2x}(4+3e^x)-3e^xe^{2x}}{(4+3e^x)^2}
\implies y'=\dfrac{8e^{2x}+3e^{3x}}{(4+3e^x)^2}

Stationary points occur where the derivative is zero. The denominator is positive for all x, so we only need to worry about the numerator.

8e^{2x}+3e^{3x}=e^{2x}(8+3e^x)=0

e^{2x}>0 for all x, so we can divide through:

8+3e^x=0\implies e^x=-\dfrac83

But e^x>0 for all x\in\mathbb R, so this function has no stationary points...

I suspect there may be a typo in the question.

Find the surface area of a square pyramid with side length 4 mi and slant height 5 mi.
andriy [413]

Answer:

SA = 56 sq mi

Step-by-step explanation:

SA = area of base + 1/2(perimeter of base)(slant height)

SA = 16 + 1/2(16)(5)

SA = 16 + 8(5)

SA = 16 + 40
