Answer:

32 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance across the river is give as x and we are interested in finding the value of x.

Both the triangles are similar by AA Postulate.

Therefore,

20/x = 10/16 (by c.s.s.t.)

2/x = 1/16

x = 16*2

x = 32 m

Answer:

The expected cost is 152

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that since Y is uniformly distributed over the interval [1,5] we have the following probability density function for Y

$f_Y(y ) = \frac{1}{5-1} = \frac{1}{4}$ if $1\leq y \leq 5$ and 0 othewise. (To check this is the pdf, check the definition of an uniform random variable)

Recall that, by definition

$E(Y^k) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} y^kf_Y(y)dy$

Also, we are given that $C = 50+3Y+9Y^2$ . Recall the following properties of the expected value. If X,Y are random variables, then

$E(a+bX+cY) = a+bE(X)+cE(Y)$

Then, using this property we have that $E[C] = 50+3E[Y]+ 9E[Y^2]$ .

Thus, we must calculate E[Y] and E[Y^2].

Using the definition, we get that

$E[Y] = \int_{1}^{5}\frac{y}{4} dy =\frac{1}{4}\left\frac{y^2}{2}\right|_{1}^{5} = \frac{25}{8}-\frac{1}{8} = 3$

$E[Y^2] = \int_{1}^{5}\frac{y^2}{4} dy =\frac{1}{4}\left\frac{y^3}{3}\right|_{1}^{5} = \frac{125}{12}-\frac{1}{12} = \frac{31}{3}$

Then

$E(C) = 50 + 3\cdot 3 + 9 \cdot \frac{31}{3} = 152$

Jims fish bowl contains x tetras, 3 goldfish, and 5 platies. He removes one fish from the fish bowl at random. If the probabilit

My name is Ann [436]

Answer: x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x tetras

3 goldfish

5 platies.

the total number of fishh in the bowl is x + 3 + 5

The probability of removing a gold fish is equal to the number of gold fish divided by the total number of fish, this is:

p = 3/(x + 3 + 5) = 1/3

3 = (1/3)(x + 3 + 5) = x/3 + 1 + 5/3

9 = x + 3 + 5

x = 9 - 8 = 1

then wemust have that x = 1

because 1 + 3 + 5 = 9

and 3/9 = 1/3

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

3000/30=100every day

100/25=4
So she buys 4 L of milk every day.
So t=4.
