A leprechaun places a magic penny under a girls pillow. The next night there are 2 magic pennies under her pillow. The following

morning she finds four pennies. Apparently, while she sleeps each penny turns into two magic pennies.The total number of pennies seen under the pillow each day is the grand total; that is, the pennies from each of the previous days are not being stored away until more pennies magically appear. How many days would elapse before she has a total of more than 90 trillion?

Answer:

<em>After </em><em>47</em><em> days she will have more than 90 trillion pennies.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning there was 1 penny. At the second day the amount of pennies under the pillow became 2.

The amount of pennies doubled each day. So the series is,

1,2,4,8,16,32,.....

This series is in geometric progression.

As the pennies from each of the previous days are not being stored away until more pennies magically appear so the sum of series will be,

S_n=\dfrac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}

where,

a = initial term = 1,

r = common ratio = 2,

As we have find the number of days that would elapse before she has a total of more than 90 trillion, so

\Rightarrow 90\times 10^{12}\le \dfrac{1(2^n-1)}{2-1}

\Rightarrow 90\times 10^{12}\le \dfrac{2^n-1}{1}

\Rightarrow 90\times 10^{12}\le 2^n-1

\Rightarrow 2^n\ge 90\times 10^{12}+1

\Rightarrow \log 2^n\ge \log (90\times 10^{12}+1)

\Rightarrow n\times \log 2\ge \log (90\times 10^{12}+1)

\Rightarrow n \ge \dfrac{\log (90\times 10^{12}+1)}{\log 2}

\Rightarrow n \ge 46.4

\Rightarrow n\approx 47

A driving exam consists of 30 ​multiple-choice questions. Each of the 30 answers is either right or wrong. Suppose the probabili
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

a. P(x>20)=0.19

b. P(x≥6)=0.72

c. P(x≤20)=0.81

d. A and C

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

1) the probability that a student makes fewer than 6 mistakes is 0.28

P(x

2) The probaiblity that a student makes between 6 to 20 mistakes is 0.53.

P(6\leq x\leq20)=0.53

We will express the proabilibities in function of the information we have.

a. Probability that a student makes more than 20 mistakes.

P(x>20)=1-P(x\leq20)=1-(P(x20)=1-(0.28+0.53)=1-0.81=0.19

b. Probability that the student make 6 or more mistakes

P(x\geq6)=1-P(Px

c. Probability that a student makes 20 mistakes at most

P(x\leq20)=P(x

d. A and C, because A takes a event of more than 20 mistakes and C takes the event of 20 or less mistakes. Both events cover a probability of 1.

Suppose that the total cost of flatiron TVs is given by the function TC(Q) = 500Q + 300 dollars, where Q is the number of TVs pr
Harrizon [31]

The value of TC(10) is 5300 Dollars

Given function is TC(Q) = 500Q +300 dollars

We need to calculate the value for TC (10)

As we know that the equation given is TC(Q) = 500Q + 300 dollars

Q is the number of TVs produced

Therefore, The value of Q is 10 for TC(10)

Substituting the value of Q

in the total cost of flatiron TVs given by function TC(Q) = 500Q + 300 dollars That Q= 100,

TC(10) = 500(10)+300 dollars

∴ TC (10) = 5000+300 dollars

∴ TC (10) = 5300 dollars

Hence the value of TC(10) is 5300 Dollars
