Answer:

a) 10 weeks

b) P(k≤2)=0.190

c) P(k>17)=0.167

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved applying the geometric distribution.

The probability of needing k weeks to find an acceptable apartment can be written as:

P(k)=(1-p)^{k-1}p=0.9^{k-1}\cdot 0.1

a) The expected value of this distribution is:

E(x)=1/p=1/0.1=10

Answer: 10 weeks

b) The probability of finding an acceptable department in the first 2 weeks is:

P(k\leq2)=P(1)+P(2)=0.1*0.9^0+0.1*0.9^1\\\\P(k\leq 2)=0.1+0.09=0.19

c) We have to calculate P(k>17)

P(k>17)=1-\sum_1^{17}P(k_i)\\\\P(k>17)=1-(P(1)+P(2)+P(3)+...+P(17))\\\\P(k>17)=1-(0.1+0.09+0.081+0.073+0.066+0.059+0.053+0.048+0.043+0.039+0.035+0.031+0.028+0.025+0.023+0.021+0.019)\\\\P(k>17)=1-0.833=0.167

The two cylinders pictured at the right are congruent Haw
leonid [27]

The volume of the larger cone is equal to the total volume of the two smaller cones

<h3>How to compare both cones?</h3>

From the question, we have two equal cylinders.

This means that the cylinders have equal volume.

From the complete question, a large cone is placed in one of the cylinders, while two small cones are placed in the other.

Since the cylinders have equal volumes, then the volume of the large cone equals the sum of the volumes of the smaller cones.

Hence, the volume of the larger cone is equal to the total volume of the two smaller cones
