There is a math joke that floats around the internet every once in a while that goes something like . . . A mathematician and he

r infinitely many friends decide to stop by their favorite bar. The first mathematician orders 1 beer, the second orders 1/2 a beer, the third orders 1/4 a beer, the fourth orders 1/8 a beer, the fifth orders 1/16 a beer. . . it’s at this point the bartender, knowing a little math herself, interrupts and says "Fine, I’ll just pour you two beers.". How many beers should the bartender pour if the first mathematician orders 6 beers, the second orders 2 beer, the third orders 2/3 a beer, and so on?

Answer:

  • Three beers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first mathematician orders 1 beer, the second orders 1/2 a beer, the third orders 1/4 a beer, the fourth orders 1/8 a beer, the fifth orders 1/16 a beer. . .

  • The Sequence is: 1,\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{8}, \frac{1}{16} \cdots
  • On observation, the next term is derived through the division of the previous term by 2.
  • 2 is the constant factor
  • Therefore, the bartender says 'Fine, I’ll just pour you two beers.'

Therefore, if the first mathematician orders 6 beers, the second orders 2 beer, the third orders 2/3 a beer, and so on

  • The sequence is 6,2,\frac{2}{3}, \cdots
  • On observation, the next term is derived through the division of the previous term by 3.
  • 3 is the constant factor
  • Therefore, the bartender should pour three beers.

9 ft 8 ft 5 ft 13 ft What is the area of this figure? ​
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

D. 98 ft.^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A= b*h

=13*8

=104 ft.^2

Because there is a piece missing, we know it must be under 104 ft.^2. They didn't give us enough information to find the complete area of the missing triangle, so I used the process of elimination. With the responses given and this information, we can assume that the answer is 98 ft.^2.

Teacher's salaries in Georgia are normally distributed with an average salary of $52,000 with a standard deviation of $12,000. W
suter [353]

Answer:

81.85%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information:

mean = m = 52000

standard deviation = sd = 12000

a = 40000

b = 76000

we need to find the probability between a and b, that is:

P (a <x <b) = P (40,000 <x <76000)

P [(40000 - m) / sd <(x - m) / sd <(76000 - m) / sd]

replacing

P [(40000 - 52000) / 12000 <z <(76000 - 52000) / 12000]

P (-1 <z <2)

P (z <= -1) - P (z <= 2)

We look for this value of z, in the attached table:

0.9772 - 0.1587

P = 0.8185

In other words, the probability is 81.85%
