Answer:

10 team members

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>In terms of fraction,</u>

<em>Pizza</em> = 1

<em>Pizza eaten by coach </em>= 1/6

Pizza leftover = Total pizza - pizza eaten by coach

<em>Pizza leftover</em> = 1 - 1/6

<em>Pizza leftover</em> = 5/6

<u>Each team member ate 1/12 of the pizza</u>

Team members : y

1/12 * y = 5/6

y = (5x12)/(6x1)

y = 10 team members

Therefore, 10 team members can eat the pizza.

P(k)=a^k=2 3 4 find value of a that makes this is a valid probability distribution
Vesna [10]
Sounds like you're asked to find a such that

\displaystyle\sum_{k=2}^4\mathbb P(k)=\mathbb P(2)+\mathbb P(3)+\mathbb P(4)=1

In other words, find a that satisfies

a^2+a^3+a^4=1

We can factorize this as

a^4+a^3+a^2-1=a^3(a+1)+(a-1)(a+1)=(a+1)(a^3+a-1)=0

In order that \mathbb P(k) describes a probability distribution, require that \mathbb P(k)\ge0 for all k, which means we can ignore the possibility of a=-1.

Let a=y+\dfrac xy.

a^3+a-1=\left(y+\dfrac xy\right)^3+\left(y+\dfrac xy\right)-1=0
\left(y^3+3xy+\dfrac{3x^2}y+\dfrac{x^3}{y^3}\right)+\left(y+\dfrac xy\right)-1=0

Multiply both sides by y^3.

y^6+3xy^4+3x^2y^2+x^3+y^4+xy^2-y^3=0

We want to find x\neq0 that removes the quartic and quadratic terms from the equation, i.e.

\begin{cases}3x+1=0\\3x^2+x=0\end{cases}\implies x=-\dfrac13

so the cubic above transforms to

y^6-y^3-\dfrac1{27}=0

Substitute y^3=z and we get

z^2-z-\dfrac1{27}=0\implies z=\dfrac{9+\sqrt{93}}{18}
\implies y=\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{9+\sqrt{93}}{18}}
\implies a=\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{9+\sqrt{93}}{18}}-\dfrac13\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{18}{9+\sqrt{93}}}

If the time period is months instead of years, you express it as a fraction of a year.

For example, 7 months is 7/12 year.
