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!!!

3 times 1 and 1/2 times 5 and 1/4 for the volume what the answer
ehidna [41]

Answer:

1 2/3 * 3 1/2 = 35/

6

= 5 5/

6

≅ 5.8333333

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion a mixed number 1 2/

3

to a improper fraction: 1 2/3 = 1 2/

3

= 1 · 3 + 2/

3

= 3 + 2/

3

= 5/

3

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 1 by the denominator 3. Whole number 1 equally 1 * 3/

3

= 3/

3

b) Add the answer from previous step 3 to the numerator 2. New numerator is 3 + 2 = 5

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 5) over the denominator 3.

One and two thirds is five thirds

Conversion a mixed number 3 1/

2

to a improper fraction: 3 1/2 = 3 1/

2

= 3 · 2 + 1/

2

= 6 + 1/

2

= 7/

2

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 3 by the denominator 2. Whole number 3 equally 3 * 2/

2

= 6/

2

b) Add the answer from previous step 6 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 6 + 1 = 7

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 7) over the denominator 2.

Three and one half is seven halfs

Multiple: 5/

3

* 7/

2

= 5 · 7/

3 · 2

= 35/

6

Multiply both numerators and denominators. Result fraction keep to lowest possible denominator GCD(35, 6) = 1. In the next intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.

In words - five thirds multiplied by seven halfs = thirty-five sixths.

Multiply and Simplify <br><br> cos(theta) sin(theta)(sec (theta) + csc (theta))
fredd [130]

Before I put out my answer, I just want make note that sec() = 1 / cos() and csc () = 1 / sin ()

1) Once you distribute cos()sin() to sec(), the cos() will cancel out with the sec() to make it just sin(), and once cos()sin() is distributed to csc(), the sin() will cancel out with the cos()

2) After doing that you should just be left with sin() + cos()

3) And since no more simplification can be done, that is your answer :D
