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]

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

a. H0:μ1≥μ2

Ha:μ1<μ2

b. t=-3.076

c. Rejection region=[tcalculated<−1.717]

Reject H0

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

As the score for group 1 is lower than group 2,

Null hypothesis: H0:μ1≥μ2

Alternative hypothesis: H1:μ1<μ2

b) t test statistic for equal variances

t=(xbar1-xbar2)-(μ1-μ2)/sqrt[{1/n1+1/n2}*{((n1-1)s1²+(n2-1)s2²)/n1+n2-2}

t=63.3-70.2/sqrt[{1/11+1/13}*{((11-1)3.7²+(13-1)6.6²)/11+13-2}

t=-6.9/sqrt[{0.091+0.077}{136.9+522.72/22}]

t=-3.076

c. α=0.05, df=22

t(0.05,22)=-1.717

The rejection region is t calculated<t critical value

t<-1.717

We can see that the calculated value of t-statistic falls in rejection region and so we reject the null hypothesis at 5% significance level.

Minchanka [31]
You have to draw a pie graph.

The first piece (with the straight angle) cuts the pie in half. 

The second piece cuts the remaining half in halves (making a quarter).

The third and fourth pieces are the same as each other. So they must each have an angle of 45 degrees. Each of these is an eighth of the total pie.

Should be fairly easy. Good luck!
