Answer:

The answer to the question is;

The number of papers expected to be handed in before receiving each possible grade at least once is 14.93.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question , we note that it is a geometric distribution question which have equal probabilities and therefore is a form of Binomial distribution with Bernoulli trials, where we are conducting the trials till we have r successes

Since we have r = 6, we will have to find the expected value of the number of trials till the nth paper handed in receives a previously awarded grade.

We therefore have,

The Probability that out of six papers turned 5 are different scores is given by

P(Y=5) = p'= q⁵p = (1-p)⁵p = 3125/46656

Therefore p' = the probability of receiving different grades once then the expected value is given by

E(X)  = 1/p' = 46656/3125 = 14.93.

They estimate that their current (older) fridge, which they got for free, costs them about $17 a month in electricity charges to
Eddi Din [679]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

current (older) fridge

electricity charges= $17 monthly

maintenance costs= $220

let the number of months be x

and the total cost be yo

the expression for the cost for the old fridge is

yo=220+17x---------1

New  fridge

electricity charges= $6 monthly

costs=  $1,050

let the number of months be x

and the total cost be yn

the expression for the cost for the old fridge is

yn= 1050+6x---------2

Hence the system of equation for the situation is

yo=220+17x---------1

yn= 1050+6x---------2

Step two

for 10 years there are 12*10= 120 months

put x= 120 in both expressions and compare the total

yo=220+17(120)---------1

yo=220+2040

yo=$2,260

yn= 1050+6(120)---------2

yn=1050+720

yn=$1770

<u><em>Based on the analysis it will be less expensive to get the new fridge, hence buying the new fridge is worth it.</em></u>
