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]
