Answer:

0.1274

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable that measures the number of children who get their own coat.

Then, the expected value of X is

E[X] = 1P(X=1) + 2P(X=2)+3P(X=3)+...+10P(X=10)

The probability that a child gets her or his coat is

P(X=1) = 1/10

To compute the probability that 2 children get their own coat, we notice that there are 10! possible permutations of coats. The two children can get their coat in only one way, the other 8 coats can be arranged in 8! different positions, so the probability that 2 children get their own coat is

P(X=2) = 8!/10! = 1/(10*9)  and

2P(X=2) = 2/(10*9)

Similarly, we can see that the probability that 3 children get their own coat is

P(X=3) = 7!/10! = 1/(10*9*8) and  

3P(X=3) = 3/(10*9*8*7)

and the expected value of X would be

E[X] = 1/10 + 2/(10*9) + 3/(10*9*8)+...+10/10! = 0.1274

Find the lateral and total surface area for the cone. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth and leave the
bija089 [108]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 262.2π cm²
  • 392.16π cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateral surface area is the product of half the circumference, and the slant height:

  LA = πrh = π(11.4 cm)(23 cm) = 262.2π cm²

The total surface area adds the area of the base to that:

  A = πr² +LA = π(11.4 cm)² +262.2π cm² = (129.96 +262.2)π cm²

  A = 392.16π cm²

When solving a compound inequality. Micah wrote the solution as x> or equal to 50 OR x>or equal to 75. What is a simpler w
REY [17]

Answer:

The best way of writing this answer in an inequality pattern is 50 ≤ x ≥ 70

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable "x" is said to be greater than or equal to 50, that means that x could be 50, 51, 52, 53, 54......to infinity, all these values are true for x.

The second solution said x is greater or equal to 70. This also means that x could be 70, 71, 72, 73, ......... to infinity.

The inference that can be drawn from here is that x actually started from 50, so anything lesser than 50 is lesser than x, so 50 ≤ x. We can join the two answers together to get a range in a form like: 50 ≤ x ≥ 70

Since the formula for the base of the cylinder is \pi r^{2}, multiplying that by 10 we get 90\pi. Hope this helps!
