Answer:
a). The mean = 1000
The variance = 999,000
The standard deviation = 999.4999
b). 1000 times , loss
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean of geometric distribution is given as , 
And the variance is given by, 
Given : 
= 0.001
The formulae of mean and variance are :



a). Mean = 
=
= 1000
Variance = 
= 
= 999,000
The standard deviation is determined by the root of the variance.

=
= 999.4999
b). We expect to have play lottery 1000 times to win, because the mean in part (a) is 1000.
When we win the profit is 500 - 1 = 499
When we lose, the profit is -1
Expected value of the mean μ is the summation of a product of each of the possibility x with the probability P(x).

= $ 0.50
Since the answer is negative, we are expected to make a loss.
Answer: $33.00
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Mr. Claussen needs 15 Pounds of ground beef
It is stated that 2 pounds of beef cost $4.40
Using unitary method
1 Pound cost 
For 15 pounds it is

Thus, he has to spend $33 for 15 pound meat
The two containers hold 328 ounces at the they hold same amount of water.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The equations below model the ounces of water, y, in each container after x minutes.


At the time after the start when the containers hold the same amount of water, the two equations must be equal.
⇒
The first step is to divide everything by 2 to make it simplified.
⇒ 
Now put everything on the left
.

Add the like terms together to further reduce the equation

Factorizing the equation to find the roots of the equation.
Here, b = -12 and c = -28
where,
- b is the sum of the roots ⇒ -14 + 2 = -12
- c is the product of the roots ⇒ -14 × 2 = -28
- Therefore, (x-14) (x+2) = 0
- The solution is x = -2 or x = 14
Take x = 14 and substitute in any of the given two equations,
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 328 ounces
∴ The two containers hold 328 ounces at the they hold same amount of water.
Check the picture below.
let's recall that a rhombu's sides are all equal.
