One of ten different prizes was randomly put into each box of a cereal. If a family decided to buy this cereal until it obtained

Reptile [31]

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 p.

E(X)=1/p

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

E(X)=1/p

E(X1)=1

After the first prize is drawn, we are interested in the first time (success), that we draw another prize that is different (p=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;

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

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

E(X)= 29.29

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

A stone is a British unit of weight equivalent to 14 pounds. After losing 1 1/2 stone. Jim is now 85% of his original weight. Wh

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Jim's current weight = 119 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Stone = 14 pounds

$1\frac{1}{2}$ stone = 1.5 stone

1.5 stone = 1.5 (14 pounds) = 21 pounds

Jim lost 21 pounds

Let X be Jim's Original Weight

Y be his present weight

As per given statement in the Question:

After losing 1.5 stones (21 pounds of weight) Jim now weighs Y

Present weight = original weight - 21

Y = X -21 Equation 1

Also Current Weight = 85 % (Original weight)

Y = 85 % (X) = $\frac{85X}{100}$

Y= $\frac{85X}{100}$

put in Equation 1

$\frac{85X}{100}$ = X-21

85X = (X-21) 100

85 X = 100 X -2100

or

2100 = 100 X - 85X

2100 = 15X

or

15 X = 2100

$X=\frac{2100}{15}$

X= 140 pounds ( Original Weight)

Current Weight = Y = Original weight - 21 (From Equation 1)

Y = X -21

Y = 140 -21

Y = 119 pounds (Current Weight)

Answer:

3) 162 ft² || 4) 38.25 mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

3)

area of triangle = 0.5 * base * height

= 0.5 * 27 * 12

= 162 ft²

4) area of triangle = 0.5 * base * height

= 0.5 * 8.5 * 9

= 38.25 mm²

ASAP HELP RN

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Part B: is -60 divided by -10

Part C: is The number of increments is positive.

Part D: is -1 times 60 / -1 times 10

Part E: is Any number divided by itself is 1. In the expression -1 times 60, the -1s in the numerator and the denominator cancel each other out to give the result 60/10, or 6

Part F: is There are 6 increments of -10 feet in -60 feet.

Part G is: copy and paste -10 feet 6 times

Part H: is -60 / 4 increments

Part I: is there is one negative number in the expression, so the solution will be negative. There isn't a -1 in the denominator to cancel out the -1 in the numerator.

Part J: is -60 /4 =-15 Alex’s elevation change in each increment was -15 feet.

Step-by-Step Explaination: I did the test.
