I think maybe 3) would make the most sense because she wants a random sample of students and the other options are specific on the type of students.

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}

The measure of the angle of depression from the top of a 270 m building tweet park bench on the ground is 63° 43’.How far Where
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

547 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Angle of depression, θ = 63°43' ; 43/60 = 0.7167 = 63 + 0.7167 = 63.7167°

The height, h = 270

The distance of park bench from the building, d is given by :

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan 63.7167 = d / 270

d = 270 * Tan 63.7167

d = 546.70459

d, distance of Park bench from building is 547 m

Given the parent function f(x) = 2^x, which graph shows f(x) + 1?
mixer [17]

Answer: First Option

a) exponential function going through point (0, 2) and ending up on the right

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the attached image, the red line represents a function of the form:

f(x) = 2^x

Note that this function cuts to the axis and at the point (0, 1)

Also when x tends to ∞ f(x) tends to ∞ and when f(x) tends to -∞ then f(x) tends to zero.

If we perform the transformation y = f(x) +1 then the graph of y is equal to the graph of f(x) displaced 1 unit up. Then the new cutting point with the axis y will be: (0, 2) as shown in the attached image (blue line)

The transform function is y =2^x +1

Finally the answer is the first option
