50 Points!! Brennan has been playing a game where he can create towns and help his empire expand. Each town he has allows him to

create 1.15 times as many villagers. The game gave Brennan 5 villagers to start with. Help Brennan expand his empire by solving for how many villagers he can create with 15 towns. Then explain to Brennan how to create an equation to predict the number of villagers for any number of towns. Show your work and use complete sentences.

Answer:

5 * 1.15ⁿ

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation would be

a1(r)^(n-1)

Now put it all together

A15= 5(1.15)^(15-1)

Count the rest and add the towns each

A15= 35.38

35 villagers now

Now you will find the equation 1

an=5(1.15)^(n-1)

So it going to equal 5 * 1.15ⁿ

How do I solve 4/9+9/2 and write my answer as a mixed number?

jenyasd209 [6]

9 has factors of 3*3.

2 is prime, so no factors.

from those two denominators, we can get the LCD of hmmm simply their product, namely 18.

$\bf \cfrac{4}{9}+\cfrac{9}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the LCD of 18}}{\cfrac{(2)4+(9)9}{18}}\implies \cfrac{8+81}{18}\implies \cfrac{89}{18}\implies 4\frac{17}{18}$

now, recall that, to get the mixed fraction, we divide 89 ÷ 18, the quotient goes up front, the "4", and the remainder is the one atop, the "17".

Suppose that only 20% of all drivers come to a complete stop at an intersection having flashing red lights in all directions whe

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

a) 91.33% probability that at most 6 will come to a complete stop

b) 10.91% probability that exactly 6 will come to a complete stop.

c) 19.58% probability that at least 6 will come to a complete stop

d) 4 of the next 20 drivers do you expect to come to a complete stop

Step-by-step explanation:

For each driver, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will come to a complete stop, or they will not. The probability of a driver coming to a complete stop is independent of other drivers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

20% of all drivers come to a complete stop at an intersection having flashing red lights in all directions when no other cars are visible.

This means that $p = 0.2$

20 drivers

This means that $n = 20$

a. at most 6 will come to a complete stop?

$P(X \leq 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{20} = 0.0115$

$P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{19} = 0.0576$

$P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{18} = 0.1369$

$P(X = 3) = C_{20,3}.(0.2)^{3}.(0.8)^{17} = 0.2054$

$P(X = 4) = C_{20,4}.(0.2)^{4}.(0.8)^{16} = 0.2182$

$P(X = 5) = C_{20,5}.(0.2)^{5}.(0.8)^{15} = 0.1746$

$P(X = 6) = C_{20,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{14} = 0.1091$

$P(X \leq 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.0115 + 0.0576 + 0.1369 + 0.2054 + 0.2182 + 0.1746 + 0.1091 = 0.9133$

91.33% probability that at most 6 will come to a complete stop

b. Exactly 6 will come to a complete stop?

$P(X = 6) = C_{20,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{14} = 0.1091$

10.91% probability that exactly 6 will come to a complete stop.

c. At least 6 will come to a complete stop?

Either less than 6 will come to a complete stop, or at least 6 will. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X < 6) + P(X \geq 6) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 6)$ . So

$P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6)$

In which

$P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.0115 + 0.0576 + 0.1369 + 0.2054 + 0.2182 + 0.1746 = 0.8042$

$P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6) = 1 - 0.8042 = 0.1958$

19.58% probability that at least 6 will come to a complete stop

d. How many of the next 20 drivers do you expect to come to a complete stop?

The expected value of the binomial distribution is

$E(X) = np = 20*0.2 = 4$

4 of the next 20 drivers do you expect to come to a complete stop
