Cat:dog=4:5
500=4 units
divide by 4
1 unit=125
5 unit=dog owners
125=1 unit
times 5 both sides
625=5unit=dog owners

625 dog owners

Answer:

annually: 9.01 years
monthly: 8.69 years
daily: 8.67 years
continuously: 8.66 years

Step-by-step explanation:

For interest compounded in discrete intervals, the formula is ...

A = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)

We want to find t for P=1 and A=2, so we have ...

2 = (1 +r/n)^(nt)

ln(2) = nt·ln(1+r/n)

t = ln(2)/(n·ln(1+r/n))

A table of values for r=0.08 is attached.

__

For continuous compounding, the formula is ...

A = Pe^(rt)

t = ln(A/P)/r = ln(2)/0.08 ≈ 8.66434 . . . . years

annually: 9.01 years
monthly: 8.69 years

A group of n people enter an elevator in a building with k floors. Each person independently selects a floor uniformly at random

____ [38]

Answer:

Hence the person stop at floor by at least one person will be

E(X)=(summation from K=1 to k)[1-{(k-1)/k}^n]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

There are n peoples and k floors in a building.

Selects floor with 1/k probability .

To find :

Elevator stop at each floor by at least one person.

Solution:

Now

let K= number of floor at which at least one person will be stopping.

For getting E(X)

consider a variable Ak =1 if a least one person get of the elevator

and values for k=1,2,3.....k

K=(summation From k=1 to k)Ak

E(K)=((summation From k=1 to k) E[Ak]

=(summation From k=1 to k)[ $1-{(k-1/k)^n$

Hence the person stop at floor by at least one person will be

E(K)=(summation from K=1 to k)[1-{(k-1)/k}^n]
