Each molecule that we breathed in has probability (N-n)<span><span>/N </span><span>of not being from Caesar’s last breath. Also, the molecules breathed in are independent if it is assumed that sampling with replacement is performed.

= 1-[(10^44-10^22)^(10^22) / 10^44^(10^22)]

Simplifying will result in:

Let X be a random variable with probability mass function P(X = 1) = 1 2 , P(X = 2) = 1 3 , P(X = 5) = 1 6 (a) Find a function g
Goryan [66]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Let X be a random variable with probability mass function

P(X =1) =1/2, P(X=2)=1/3, P(X=5)=1/6

(a) Find a function g such that E[g(X)]=1/3 ln(2) + 1/6 ln(5). You answer should give at least the values g(k) for all possible values of k of X, but you can also specify g on a larger set if possible.

(b) Let t be some real number. Find a function g such that E[g(X)] =1/2 e^t + 2/3 e^(2t) + 5/6 e^(5t)

Solution :

Given :

$P(X=1)=\frac{1}{2}, P(X=2)=\frac{1}{3}, P(X=5)=\frac{1}{6}$

a). We know :

    $E[g(x)] = \sum g(x)p(x)$

So,  $g(1).P(X=1) + g(2).P(X=2)+g(5).P(X=5) = \frac{1}{3} \ln (2) + \frac{1}{6} \ln(5)$

       $g(1).\frac{1}{2} + g(2).\frac{1}{3}+g(5).\frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{3} \ln (2) + \frac{1}{6} \ln (5)$

Therefore comparing both the sides,

$g(2) = \ln (2), g(5) = \ln(5), g(1) = 0 = \ln(1)$

$g(X) = \ln(x)$

Also,  $g(1) =\ln(1)=0, g(2)= \ln(2) = 0.6931, g(5) = \ln(5) = 1.6094$

b).

We known that $E[g(x)] = \sum g(x)p(x)$

∴ $g(1).P(X=1) +g(2).P(X=2)+g(5).P(X=5) = \frac{1}{2}e^t+ \frac{2}{3}e^{2t}+ \frac{5}{6}e^{5t}$

   $g(1).\frac{1}{2} +g(2).\frac{1}{3}+g(5).\frac{1}{6 }= \frac{1}{2}e^t+ \frac{2}{3}e^{2t}+ \frac{5}{6}e^{5t}$$

Therefore on comparing, we get

$g(1)=e^t, g(2)=2e^{2t}, g(5)=5e^{5t}$

∴ $g(X) = xe^{tx}$

Remember that Gerry is 5 more than three times Carol's age.
stepan [7]

Using a system of equations, it is found that Carol is 10 years old.

The complete problem is:

"Gerrys age is 5 more than three times Carols age. If the sum of their age is 45, how old is carol?"

<h3>System</h3>

The variables are:

  • Variable x: Gerry's age.
  • Variable y: Carol's age.

Gerry is <u>5 more than three times Carol's age</u>, hence:

x = 5 + 3y

The sum of their ages is 45, hence:

x + y = 45 \rightarrow x = 45 - y

We then use the first equation to find Carol's age:

45 - y = 5 + 3y

4y = 40

y = \frac{40}{4}

y = 10

Carol is 10 years old.

The area of a circle is 78.5 square centimeters, and a subtending arc on the circle has an arc length of 6. The estimated value
Andreas93 [3]
I'm sure there are easier ways, but the way I'd do it is find the radius of the circle:

A=πr²
78.5=3.14r²
25=r²
5=r

Then find the circumference: 
C=2πr
C=2π5
C=31.4

then find the ratio of an arc with lenth of 6 to the whole circumference:
6/31.4=0.19108280254777070063694267515924
So an arc of length 6 is 19.108...% of the whole circle, so it would "subtend" the same percentage of degrees out of the circle's 360:

360*0.19108...=68.789808917197452229299363057325 degrees.

I'd put 68.79 degrees as my answer.
