Answer:

13064 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rewrite the formula so that x is in feet. Equating the new formula to 8.743 PSI, we have ...

8.743 = 14.7e^(-0.21x/5280)

Dividing by 14.7 and taking natural logs, we have ...

ln(8.743/14.7) = -0.21x/5280

Multiplying by the inverse of the coefficient of x gives ...

x = 5280·ln(8.743/14.7)/-0.21 ≈ 13064.0806

The peak of the mountain is about 13,064 feet high.

Answer:

Find the probability of success in a single trial and then think about the nature of the problem (when do we stop). 

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe that in the single trial, we have (8 4) possibilities of choosing our set of balls. If we have chosen two white balls and two black balls, the probability of doing that is simply

p=(4 2)*(4 2)/(8 4)

This is well know Hyper geometric distribution. Now, define random variable X that marks the number of trials that have been needed to obtain the right combination (two white and two black balls). From the nature of the problem, observe that X has Geometric distribution with parameter p that has been calculated above. Hence

P(X = n) = (1— p)^n-1 *( p )

Find the probability of success in a single trial and then think about the nature of the problem (when do we stop).
