A group of n people enter an elevator in a building with k floors. Each person independently selects a floor uniformly at random

(each with equal probability 1/k). The elevator stops at each floor selected (by at least one person). Let N be the number of stops. (a) [3 marks] Find a simple expression for EN, the average number of stops. Bonus [2 marks] Suppose that n

Answer:

Hence the person stop at floor by at least one person will be

E(X)=(summation from K=1 to k)[1-{(k-1)/k}^n]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

There are n peoples and k floors in a building.

Selects floor with 1/k probability .

To find :

Elevator stop at each floor by at least one person.

Solution:

Now

let K= number of floor at which at least one person will be stopping.

For getting E(X)

consider a variable Ak =1 if a least one person get of the elevator

and values for k=1,2,3.....k

K=(summation From k=1 to k)Ak

E(K)=((summation From k=1 to k) E[Ak]

=(summation From k=1 to k)[1-{(k-1/k)^n

Hence the person stop at floor by at least one person will be

E(K)=(summation from K=1 to k)[1-{(k-1)/k}^n]

kramer

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Utilise Pythagoras theorem

a² + b² = c²

→ Substitute in the values

10² + 24² = c²

→ Simplify

100 + 576 = c²

→ Simplify further

676 = c²

→ Square root both sides to isolate c

26 = c

Which of the following triangle cases may have one, two, or zero solutions?
Lunna [17]
I think the correct answer is B. It is the triangle case SSA that may have one, two, or zero solutions. This case can have either number of solutions but it depends on the sides of the triangle given. Having one solution can be all of the cases except SSS, having 2 solutions can only be applied to SSA.

Simplify (-3x^2)^2 show work
Feliz [49]

Answer: 9x^4

Using the rules of exponents multiply the -3 times the -3 which equals 9 canceling out the negatives. Then you have that other ^2 but you also had the other one so you still have to keep it which equals that ^4.
