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

How can -6.75 + (10.25) be expressed as the sum of its integer and decimal parts
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

 -6.75 + (10.25)    =  ( (-6)  + (10))  + ( (-0.75) + (0.25))

Here, the integer part  =     ( (-6)  + (10))

Decimal part =   ( (-0.75) + (0.25))

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is:    -6.75 + (10.25)

Now, -6.75  = (-6)  +  (-0.75)

Also, (10.25)  = (10)  + (0.25)

So, the expression can be written as

 -6.75 + (10.25)  =  (-6)  +  (-0.75) +  (10)  + (0.25)

                           = ( (-6)  + (10))  + ( (-0.75) + (0.25))

or,   -6.75 + (10.25)    =  ( (-6)  + (10))  + ( (-0.75) + (0.25))

Where the integer part is    ( (-6)  + (10))

and the decimal part is  ( (-0.75) + (0.25))

Pip rolls a fair dice 150 times. how many times would pip expect to roll an odd number?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

25

how many such tests would it take for the probability of committing at least one type i error to be at least 0.7? (round your an
drek231 [11]

The number of tests that it would take for the probability of committing at least one type I error to be at least 0.7 is 118   .

In the question ,

it is given that ,

the probability of committing at least , type I error is = 0.7

we  have to find the number of tests ,

let the number of test be n ,

the above mentioned situation can be written as

1 - P(no type I error is committed) ≥ P(at least type I error is committed)

which is written as ,

1 - (1 - 0.01)ⁿ ≥ 0.7

-(0.99)ⁿ ≥ 0.7 - 1

(0.99)ⁿ ≤ 0.3

On further simplification ,

we get ,

n ≈ 118 .

Therefore , the number of tests are 118 .
