A) 7g+ 35 - 10g --------> -3g+35

B) -2 -12m +8 --------> -12m+6

I didn't know how simplified you needed them. The first part is just distributed, and the second is simplified.

Show that if X is a geometric random variable with parameter p, then

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{p(1-p)^{k-1}}{k}=-\frac{p ln p}{1-p}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric distribution represents "the number of failures before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials. This discrete probability distribution is represented by the probability density function:"

$P(X=x)=(1-p)^{x-1} p$

Let X the random variable that measures the number os trials until the first success, we know that X follows this distribution:

$X\sim Geo (1-p)$

In order to find the expected value E(1/X) we need to find this sum:

$E(X)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{p(1-p)^{k-1}}{k}$

Lets consider the following series:

$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} b^{k-1}$

And let's assume that this series is a power series with b a number between (0,1). If we apply integration of this series we have this:

$\int_{0}^b \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} r^{k-1}=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \int_{0}^b r^{k-1} dt=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{b^k}{k}$ (a)

On the last step we assume that $0\leq r\leq b$ and $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} r^{k-1}=\frac{1}{1-r}$ , then the integral on the left part of equation (a) would be 1. And we have:

$\int_{0}^b \frac{1}{1-r}dr=-ln(1-b)$

And for the next step we have:

$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{b^{k-1}}{k}=\frac{1}{b}\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{b^k}{k}=-\frac{ln(1-b)}{b}$

And with this we have the requiered proof.

And since $b=1-p$ we have that:

$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{p(1-p)^{k-1}}{k}=-\frac{p ln p}{1-p}$

Angel bought 8 oranges and 11 apples for a total of $15.22.He knows that each orange cost $0.50 and reasoned that each Apple mus

Schach [20]

Oranges = x
apples = y

8x + 11y = 15.22
x = 0.50

8(0.50) + 11y = 15.22
4 + 11y = 15.22
11y = 15.22 - 4
11y = 11.22
y = 11.22/11
y = 1.02 <== cost of each apple

If lin runs 21 laps at the same rate, how long does it take her 25.6 minutes How many laps per minute is that? __ laps

Alex Ar [27]

Answer: 0.82 laps per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Lin is running 21 laps in 25.6 minutes.

To find out her speed in laps per minute, divide the distance she has ran by the time it took her to run it.

= Distance / time

= 21 / 25.6

= 0.82 laps per minute
