Answer:

29.29

Step-by-step explanation:

The first trial among a distribution of independent trials with a constant success probability follows a geometric probability.

The expected value of a negative binomial is the reciprocal of its success probability <em>p.</em>

<em>E(X)=</em>1/<em>p</em>

At the first draw, we only selected one of the 10 prizes and so 1 draw gives a success

<em>E(X)=</em>1/<em>p</em>

<em>E(X1)</em>=1

After the first prize is drawn, we are interested in the first time (success), that we draw another prize that is different (<em>p</em>=9/10)

E(X2)=1/9÷10

E(X2)= 10/9

After the first prizes have being drawn, we now interested in the first time success that we draw a different prize from the first 2

E(X3)=1/8÷10

E(X3)=10/8

E(X3)=5/4

After the first three prizes have been drawn, we are now interested in the success of a first time draw for the 4th different prize

E(X4)=1/7÷10

E(X4)=10/7

Fifth different prize

E(X5)=1/6÷10

E(X5)=10/6

E(X5)=5/3

Sixth different prize

E(X6)=1/5÷10

E(X6)=10/5

E(X6)=2

Seventh different prize

E(X7)=1/4÷10

E(X7)=10/4

E(X7)=5/2

Eighth different prize

E(X8)=1/3÷10

E(X8)=10/3

Ninth different prize

E(X9)=1/2÷10

E(X9)=10/2

E(X9)=5

After the 9 different prizes have been drawn, we are interested in the first time we will draw the tenth different prize

E(X10)=1/1÷10

E(X10)=10

Add up all corresponding values;

<em>E(X)=</em>E(X1)+E(X2)+E(X3)+E(X4)+E(X5)+E(X6)+E(X7)+E(X8)+E(X9)+E(X10)

<em>E(X)=</em>1+10/9+5/4+10/7+5/3+2+5/2+10/3+5+10

<em>E(X)</em>= 29.29

Note: Those values in <em>E(X), </em>should be written the way it will in standard algebra ie they should be small.

Doug’s family buys 7 postcards while on vacation. Each postcard costs 0.25$ including tax. How can Doug use the number line to f
larisa [96]

Answer: Total cost is $1.75

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of postcards bought by Doug's family= 7

Cost of each postcard including tax = $0.25

Total cost is given by

7\times 0.25=\$1.75

Now, we want to show this in number line :

On the number line put all the number with a difference of 0.25 and run the number line seven times and we get the answer.

Each step is of length 0.25 and there are 7 jumps to reach required answer.

So, after 7 jumps we reach at 1.75 which is the required answer.

Hence total cost is $1.75

Which is equivalent to 64 to the 1/4 power
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the first option

Step-by-step explanation:

                                            64^{1/4}

Process

1.- Find the prime factors of 64

                                      64  2

                                      32  2

                                      16   2

                                        8  2

                                        4  2

                                        2  2

                                         1

                      64 = 2⁶

2.- Express 64 as a fractional exponent

                      64^{1/4} = 2^{6/4}

3.- Simplify

                      64^{1/4} = 2^{4/4} 2^{2/4}

                      64^{1/4} = 2^{1} 2^{2/4}

                      64^{1/4} = 2\sqrt[4]{2^{2}}

4.- Result

                      64^{1/4} = 2\sqrt[4]{4}

How do you solve this equation -5=u+6
Naily [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

u+6 = - 5               Subtract 6

u + 6 - 6 = - 5 - 6

u = - 11

Try thinking this as money. If you are 5 dollars in the hole and you borrow another 6 dollars, where are you?

The answer is that unless you pay your debt of 5 dollars, you are - 11 dollars in the hole.
