A small island in the middle of a river is eroding away. Each year, the island has 85% of the area from the previous year. After

one year the island has an area of 10.2 thousand square yards. Graph the sequence and describe the pattern. How much of the island is left after 6 years?

Answer:

see the attachment for a graph

4.53 thousand square yards remain after 6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The area can be described by an exponential equation that multiplies the area by 0.85 when the time variable increases by 1 year. Such an equation might be ...

a(t) = 10.2·0.85^(t-1)

The graph of this is attached.

After 6 years, the equation predicts

a(6) = 10.2·0.85^(6-1) ≈ 4.53 thousand square yards

of island will remain.

consider a sequence of independent tosses of a biased coin at times k=0,1,2,…,n. On each toss, the probability of Heads is p, an
omeli [17]

Answer:

1. p*(1-p)

2. n*p*(1-p)

3. p*(1-p)

4. 0

5. p^2*(1-p)^2

6. 57/64

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let Ik denote the reward (possibly 0) given at time k, for k∈{1,2,…,n}. Find E[Ik].

E[Ik]=  p*(1-p)

2. Using the answer to part 1, find E[R].

E[R]=  n*p*(1-p)

The variance calculation is more involved because the random variables I1,I2,…,In are not independent. We begin by computing the following values.

3. If k∈{1,2,…,n}, then

E[I2k]= p*(1-p)  

4. If k∈{1,2,…,n−1}, then

E[IkIk+1]=  0

5. If k≥1, ℓ≥2, and k+ℓ≤n, then

E[IkIk+ℓ]=  p^2*(1-p)^2

6. Using the results above, calculate the numerical value of var(R) assuming that p=3/4, n=10.

var(R)= 57/64
