In a popular tale of wizards and witches, a group of them finds themselves in a room with unmarked doors which change position,

making it impossible to determine which door is which when the room is entered or reentered. Suppose that there are 4 doors in the room. One door leads out of the building after 3 hours of travel. The second and third doors return to the room after 3.5 and 5 hours of travel, respectively. The fourth door leads to a dead end, the end of which is a 2.5 hour trip from the door.If the probabilities with which the group selects the doors are 0.2, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5, respectively, what is the expected number of hours before the the group exits the building?E[Number of hours]=__________-

Answer:

Expected number of hours before the the group exits the building = E[Number of hours] = 3.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected value, E(X) is given as

E(X) = Σ xᵢpᵢ

xᵢ = each variable

pᵢ = probability of each variable

Let X represent the number of hours before exiting the building taking each door. Note that D = Door

D | X | P(X)

1 | 3.0 | 0.2

2 | 3.5 | 0.1

3 | 5.0 | 0.2

4 | 2.5 | 0.5

E(X) = (3×0.2) + (3.5×0.1) + (5×0.2) + (2.5×0.5) = 3.2 hours

Hope this Helps!!!

9. Solve for x: 2x – y = (3/4)x + 6.​
AlekseyPX

Answer:

x = 4(y + 6)/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y = (3/4)x + 6

2x - (3/4)x = y + 6

(8x - 3x)/4 = y + 6

5x/4 = y + 6

5x = 4(y + 6)

5x = 4y + 24

x = (4y + 24)/5

Therefore, x = 4(y + 6)/5

It takes Dwight 1 1/3 hours to run the sunshine trail. Mike 3 1/5 hours to walk the same trail. How many times as long does it t
Anit [1.1K]

For this case we convert the mixed numbers to fractions:

Dwight:1 \frac {1} {3} = \frac {3 * 1 + 1} {3} = \frac {4} {3} = 1.33

Mike:3 \frac {1} {5} = \frac {5 * 3 + 1} {5} = \frac {16} {5} = 3.2

It is observed, that in fact, Mike takes more time to travel the road.

We subtract to know how much more time it takes Mike:

\frac {16} {5} - \frac {4} {3} = \frac {48-20} {15} = \frac {28} {15}

So, Mike takes \frac {28} {15} hours more than Dwight to walk the road.

Answer:

Mike takes\frac {28} {15}hours longer than Dwight to walk the road.

From the quadratic equation 3x² + X - 5 = 0, find alpha square plus beta square​
timama [110]

Answer:

  α² +β² = 3 4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming α and β are solutions to the equation, it can be factored as ...

  (x -α)(x -β) = 0

Expanding this, we get ...

  x² -(α +β)x +αβ = 0

Dividing the original equation by 3, we find ...

  x² +(1/3)x -5/3 ≡ x² -(α+β)x +αβ   ⇒   (α+β) = -1/3, αβ = -5/3

We know that the square (α+β)² can be expanded to ...

  (α +β)² = α² +β² +2αβ

  α² +β² = (α +β)² -2αβ . . . . . . subtract 2αβ

Substituting the values for (α+β) and αβ, we find the desired expression is ...

  α² +β² = (-1/3)² -2(-5/3) = 1/9 +10/3 = 31/9

  α² +β² = 3 4/9
