Let x_1,\ x_2,\ldots,\ x_8 be the scores of the first 8 quizzes. We know that the average of these scores is 85, so we have

\dfrac{x_1+x_2+\ldots+x_8}{8} = 85 \iff x_1+x_2+\ldots+x_8 = 85 \cdot 8 = 680

The average of the first 9 scores is 81, and it is given by

\dfrac{x_1+x_2+\ldots+x_8+x_9}{9} = 81

But we know that the sum of the first 8 is 680:

\dfrac{680+x_9}{9} = 81

And we can solve for the nineth score: multiply both sides by 9:

680+x_9 = 729

Subtract 680 from both sides:

x_9 = 729 - 680 = 49

The height of the pole at which the monkey is at the top is 10.2 feet.

<h3>Trigonometric ratio</h3>

Trigonometric ratio is used to show the relationship between the angles and sides of a right angled triangle.

Let h represent the height of the pole, hence using trigonometric ratio:

tan(23) = h/24

h = 10.2 feet

The height of the pole at which the monkey is at the top is 10.2 feet.

"3. When we have two sorted lists of numbers in non-descending order, and we need to merge them into one sorted list, we can sim
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Since we extract n elements in total, the algorithm for the running time for K sorted list is O (n log k+ k) = O (n log k)

Step-by-step explanation:

To understand better how we arrived at the aforementioned algorithm, we take it step by step

a, Construct a min-heap of the minimum elements from each of "k" lists.

The creation of this min-heap will cost O (k) time.

b) Next we run delete Minimum and move the minimum element to the output array.

Each extraction takes O (log k) time.

c) Then insert into the heap the next element from the list from which the element was extracted.

Now, we note that  since we extract n elements in total, the running time is

O (n log k+ k) = O (n log k).

So we can conclude that :

Since we extract n elements in total, the algorithm for the running time for K sorted list is O (n log k+ k) = O (n log k)

Suppose you own two stocks, A and B. In year 1, stock A earns a 2% return and stock B earns a 9% return. In year 2, stock A earn
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Both the stock have the same expected return.

Step-by-step explanation:

In year 1 the return earned by stocks A and B are:

Stock A = 2% return

Stock B = 9% return

In year 2 the return earned by stocks A and B are:

Stock A = 18% return

Stock B = 11% return

Compute the expected return for stock A as follows:

Expected\ return\ for\ A=\frac{2+18}{2}=10\%

Compute the expected return for stock B as follows:

Expected\ return\ for\ B=\frac{9+11}{2}=10\%

Thus, both the stock have the same expected return.

(-3, 11) a solution to the systems of equations: x – 3y = -36 and 3x + 4y = 48 <br> true or false
Cloud [144]

Answer:

TRUE and FALSE  (please look at step-by-step)

Step-by-step explanation:

How to know if it's true or false, you just simply plug in the given numbers to the x and y values.

x = -3

y = 11

for the x - 3y = -36 equation:

-3 -3(11) = -36

-3 - 33 = -36

This equation is true.

for the 3x + 4y = 48 equation:

3(-3) + 4(11) = 48

-9 + 44 = 35

This equation is false.
