Let A be the person who takes 1 min,

B who takes 2 mins, C who takes 7 mins and D who takes 10 mins

A and B cross the river in 2 mins, A comes back in 1 min

C and D cross the river in 10 mins, B comes back in 2 mins

A and B cross the river in 2 mins

Total time:

Answer:

17 minutes    i had this same answer and question 2day, so ur lucky.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial solution most people will think of is to use the fastest person as an usher to guide everyone across. How long would that take? 10 + 1 + 7 + 1 + 2 = 21 mins. Is that it? No. That would make this question too simple even as a warm up question.

To reduce the amount of time, we should find a way for 10 and 7 to go together. If they cross together, then we need one of them to come back to get the others. That would not be ideal. How do we get around that? Maybe we can have 1 waiting on the other side to bring the torch back. Ahaa, we are getting closer. The fastest way to get 1 across and be back is to use 2 to usher 1 across. So let's put all this together.

1 and 2 go cross

2 comes back

7 and 10 go across

1 comes back

1 and 2 go across (done)

Total time = 2 + 2 + 10 + 1 + 2 = 17 mins

What is the answer to [(x²+4x)-2]²
Rudik [331]

Answer:

x^{4} + 8x³ + 12x² - 16x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[(x² + 4x) - 2 ]² ← simplify contents of bracket

= (x² + 4x - 2)² = (x² + 4x - 2)(x² + 4x - 2)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x²(x² + 4x - 2) + 4x(x² + 4x - 2) - 2(x² + 4x - 2) ← distribute parenthesis

= x^{4} + 4x³ - 2x² + 4x³ + 16x² - 8x - 2x² - 8x + 4 ← collect like terms

= x^{4} + 8x³ + 12x² - 16x + 4

One of your friends is testing the effect of drinking coffee on the duration of cold symptoms. The common cold lasts, on average
Goshia [24]

Answer: 0.0930

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have

H0: μcoffee = 6

Ha: μcoffee < 6

She finds z = −1.68 with one-sided P-value P = 0.0465.

The P-value for two-tailed test is calculated by :

2P(Z>|z|)

For z= -1.68 , we have

2P(Z>|-1.68|)=2P(Z>1.68)

=2(1-P(z\leq1.68))\ \ [\because\ P(Z>z)=1-P(Z\leq z)]

=2(1-0.9535213)\ \ \ [\text{ NORM.S.DIST(z, TRUE}]\\\\=2( 0.0464787)=0.0929573\approx0.0930  

Hence, the correct two-sided P-value for z = −1.68 is 0.0930 .
