to do it in mental math: you can ignore the zeroes in 400 for now.

4*14 = 4*10 + 4*4 = 40 + 16 = 56

now add the zeroes back on: 5600m

Well, if you go around the track once, that's 400m. Going around the track once is one lap. So, if you went around 14 times, that would be going 400m each time. In your head, you would find the product of 14 and 400, which would be 5600m. Your total distance would be 5600m.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The steady state proportion for the U (uninvolved) fraction is 0.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be modeled as a Markov chain, with two states:

U: uninvolved

M: matched

The transitions probability matrix is:

$\begin{pmatrix} &U&M\\U&0.85&0.15\\M&0.10&0.90\end{pmatrix}$

The steady state is that satisfies this product of matrixs:

$[\pi] \cdot [P]=[\pi]$

being π the matrix of steady-state proportions and P the transition matrix.

If we multiply, we have:

$(\pi_U,\pi_M)*\begin{pmatrix}0.85&0.15\\0.10&0.90\end{pmatrix}=(\pi_U,\pi_M)$

Now we have to solve this equations

$0.85\pi_U+0.10\pi_M=\pi_U\\\\0.15\pi_U+0.90\pi_M=\pi_M$

We choose one of the equations and solve:

$0.85\pi_U+0.10\pi_M=\pi_U\\\\\pi_M=((1-0.85)/0.10)\pi_U=1.5\pi_U\\\\\\\pi_M+\pi_U=1\\\\1.5\pi_U+\pi_U=1\\\\\pi_U=1/2.5=0.4 \\\\ \pi_M=1.5\pi_U=1.5*0.4=0.6$

Then, the steady state proportion for the U (uninvolved) fraction is 0.4.
