Answer:

900 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

The Wiseman demands 1 gold coin for the 1st day, then 3 gold coins for the 2nd day, then 5 gold coins for the 3rd day and it continues for 30 days in this pattern.

Therefore, the total number of gold coins that he gets will be,  

1+ 3+ 5+ ..... up to 30 terms.

This is an A.P. series with the first term(a) 1 and a common difference(d) 2 and the number of terms(n) 30.

Hence, the sum of the A.P. series is given by \frac{n}{2} [2a+(n-1)d]

= \frac{30}{2} [2*1+(30-1)*2]

= 900 coins (Answer)

Solve for (0,2π]<br> 2cos ß * sin ß = cos ß
Temka [501]

Given :

An equation, 2cos ß sin ß = cos ß .

To Find :

The value for above equation in (0, 2π ] .

Solution :

Now, 2cos ß sin ß = cos ß

2 sin ß = 1

sin ß = 1/2

We know, sin ß = sin (π/6)  or sin ß = sin (5π/6) in  ( 0, 2π ] .

Therefore,

\beta = \dfrac{\pi}{6}\ or\ \beta = \dfrac{5\pi}{6}

Hence, this is the required solution.

The length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase is normally distributed with a mean of 8.21 minutes and a st
MaRussiya [10]

Correct answer is: P(x<6) is 0.123 and it is usual.

Solution:-

Given that the time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase follows normal distribution. Which has mean = 8.21 minutes and standard deviation 1.90

Then probability of individual takes less than 6 minutes is

P(X<6) = P(z

           = P(z

           = 0.1230

Typically we say an event with a probability less than 5% is unusual.

But here P(X<6) = 0.123 is greater than 5% hence this is usual.
