Kevin installed a certain brand of automatic garage door opener that utilizes a transmitter control with four independent switches, each one set on or off. The receiver (wired to the door) must be set with the same pattern as the transmitter. If six neighbors with the same type of opener set their switches independently.The probability of at least one pair of neighbors using the same settings is 0.65633

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

In the question it is given that

Automatic garage door opener utilizes a transmitter control with four independent switches

So .the number of Combinations possible with the Transmitters =

2*2*2*2= 16

Step 2

Probability of at least one pair of neighbors using the same settings = 1- Probability of All Neighbors using different settings.

= 1- 16*15*14*13*12*11/(16^6)

Step 3

Probability of at least one pair of neighbors using the same settings=

= 1- 0.343666

Step 4

So the probability of at least one pair of neighbors using the same settings

is 0.65633

Latrell bought 4 bags of powdered sugar. He got a total of 5 1/2 cups of sugar. How many cups of sugar were in each bag?

Stels [109]

So all 4 bags of sugar yielded 5 and 1/2 cups..... well.. how many in each one? well, let's split the 5 and 1/2 evenly in 4 pieces.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{5}\frac{1}{2}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{11}{2}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{\quad\frac{11}{2} \quad }{4}\implies \cfrac{\quad\frac{11}{2} \quad }{\frac{4}{1}}\implies \cfrac{11}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{4}\implies \cfrac{11}{8}\implies \stackrel{cups}{1\frac{3}{8}
}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

how long is the ball in the air ?

that is the same as asking : after how many seconds will the ball hit the ground (= reach the height of 0) ?

so, that means we need to find the zero solution of h(t).

at what t is h(t) = 0 ?

when at least one of the factors is 0 :

2(-2 - 4t)(2t - 5)

we have 3 factors

2 : can never be 0.

(-2 -4t) : can only be 0 for negative t, which does not make sense in our scenario (we cannot go back in time, only forward).

(2t - 5) : is 0 when 2t = 5 or t = 2.5

so, A is the right answer.

FYI : the starting height (on the hill) is given by t = 0 :

2(-2 - 0)(0 - 5) = 2×-2×-5 = 20 ft
