ohn is interested in purchasing a multi-office building containing five offices. The current owner provides the following probab

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

$28,875

Step-by-step explanation:

The given table is:

$\left|\begin{array}{c|cccccc}$Number of Lease Offices&0&1&2&3&4&5\\$Probability&5/32&3/16&3/32&1/4&9/32&1/32\end{array}\right|$

The expected probability is derived using the formula: $\sum_{i=0}^{5}x_iP(x_i)$

Therefore, for the given distribution,

Expected Probability

$=(0*\frac{5}{32})+ (1*\frac{3}{16})+ (2*\frac{3}{32})+ (3*\frac{1}{4})+ (4*\frac{9}{32})+ (5*\frac{1}{32})\\=2.40625$

If each yearly lease is $12,000

The Expected Yearly Lease for the Whole Building=2.40625 X 12000

=$28,875

Solve for x, y, and z

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The solution is x=1,y=2,z=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is ;\

2x−3y+4z=8...(1)

3x+4y−5z=−4...(2)

4x−5y+6z=12...(3)

Make x the subject in equation (1)

$x=\frac{8+3y-4z}{2}...(4)$

Put equation (4) into equation (2) and (3)

$3(\frac{8+3y-4z}{2})+4y-5z=-4$

Multiply through by;

$3(8+3y-4z)+8y-10z=-8$

Expand;

$24+9y-12z+8y-10z=-8$

Simplify;

$17y-22z=-32...(5)$

Equation (4) in (3)

$4(\frac{8+3y-4z}{2})-5y+6z=12$

$2(8+3y-4z)-5y+6z=12$

$16+6y-8z-5y+6z=12$

$y-2z=-4$

$y=2z-4...(6)$

Put equation (6) into equation (5)

$17(2z-4)-22z=-32$

$34z-68-22z=-32$

$34z-22z=-32+68$

$12z=36$

z=3

Put z=3 into equation (6)

y=2(3)-4=2

Put y=2 and z=3 into equation 4

$x=\frac{8+3(2)-4(3)}{2}=1$

The solution is x=1,y=2,z=3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When A and B are brought together then they repel i.e. A and B have same charge, either negative or positive

When B and C are brought together then they also repel. This implies that nature of charge on B and C is same
