A dump truck driver created 3 equal mounds of dirt from 1/6 of his load. What fraction of the entire load of dirt was in each mo

Lorico [155]

Lets see the answer to this question the fraction of the entire load of dirt in each mound is b.1/2 this is how i got my answer you multiply 3*1/6=1/2 so the fraction of the entire load of dirt that was in each mound is 1/2

Suppose we play the following game based on tosses of a fair coin. You pay me $10, and I agree to pay you $n 2 if heads comes up

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

In the long run, ou expect to lose $4 per game

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we play the following game based on tosses of a fair coin. You pay me $10, and I agree to pay you $n^2 if heads comes up first on the nth toss.

Assuming X be the toss on which the first head appears.

then the geometric distribution of X is:

X $\sim$ geom(p = 1/2)

the probability function P can be computed as:

$P (X = n) = p(1-p)^{n-1}$

where

n = 1,2,3 ...

If I agree to pay you $n^2 if heads comes up first on the nth toss.

this implies that , you need to be paid $\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n)$

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) = E(X^2)$

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) =Var (X) + [E(X)]^2$

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) = \dfrac{1-p}{p^2}+(\dfrac{1}{p})^2$ ∵ X $\sim$ geom(p = 1/2)

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) = \dfrac{1-p}{p^2}+\dfrac{1}{p^2}$

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) = \dfrac{1-p+1}{p^2}$

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) = \dfrac{2-p}{p^2}$

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) = \dfrac{2-\dfrac{1}{2}}{(\dfrac{1}{2})^2}$

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) =\dfrac{ \dfrac{4-1}{2} }{{\dfrac{1}{4}}}$

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) =\dfrac{ \dfrac{3}{2} }{{\dfrac{1}{4}}}$

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) =\dfrac{ 1.5}{{0.25}}$

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) =6$

Given that during the game play, You pay me $10 , the calculated expected loss = $10 - $6

= $4

∴

In the long run, you expect to lose $4 per game

Brandon is playing hide-and-seek with Katy and Tony. Katy is hiding 63 feet south of Brandon, and Tony is hiding due east of Kat

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

60 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Using Pythagoras rule :

Hypotenus = sqrt(Adjacent^2 + opposite^2)

From the attached picture :

x² = 87^2 - 63^2

x^2 = 7569 - 3969

X^2 = 3600

Take the square root of both sides :

X = sqrt(3600)

X = 60 feets

Hence, Katy and Tony are 60 feets apart

How might snakes running out of food affect other organisms such as hawks? please help

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The population of Hawks and other species would likely start to edge off.

Step-by-step explanation:

Commonly, a Food Chain is dependent on all the parts of it sataying at a perfect point. If the food that the Snakes eat starts to run out, more of them will die off. With less Snakes, the Hawks will then have less food, and that continues throughout the chain. The same thing would happen if there was too much food, except instead of the populations of species dying off, the Snake population would spike.
