Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y = 3

x = -2y - 1

2x - y = 3

2(-2y - 1) - y = 3

-4y - 2 - y = 3 {add 2 to both sides}

- 5y = 5 {divide both sides by (-5)}

y = -1

x = -2y - 1 = -2(-1) - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1

Suppose we play the following game based on tosses of a fair coin. You pay me $10, and I agree to pay you $n 2 if heads comes up

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

In the long run, ou expect to lose $4 per game

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we play the following game based on tosses of a fair coin. You pay me $10, and I agree to pay you $n^2 if heads comes up first on the nth toss.

Assuming X be the toss on which the first head appears.

then the geometric distribution of X is:

X $\sim$ geom(p = 1/2)

the probability function P can be computed as:

$P (X = n) = p(1-p)^{n-1}$

where

n = 1,2,3 ...

If I agree to pay you $n^2 if heads comes up first on the nth toss.

this implies that , you need to be paid $\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n)$

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) = E(X^2)$

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) =Var (X) + [E(X)]^2$

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) = \dfrac{1-p}{p^2}+(\dfrac{1}{p})^2$ ∵ X $\sim$ geom(p = 1/2)

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) = \dfrac{1-p}{p^2}+\dfrac{1}{p^2}$

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) = \dfrac{1-p+1}{p^2}$

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) = \dfrac{2-p}{p^2}$

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) = \dfrac{2-\dfrac{1}{2}}{(\dfrac{1}{2})^2}$

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) =\dfrac{ \dfrac{4-1}{2} }{{\dfrac{1}{4}}}$

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) =\dfrac{ \dfrac{3}{2} }{{\dfrac{1}{4}}}$

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) =\dfrac{ 1.5}{{0.25}}$

$\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) =6$

Given that during the game play, You pay me $10 , the calculated expected loss = $10 - $6

= $4

∴

In the long run, you expect to lose $4 per game

All parts please, i need this by the end of today and pls write answer in comments

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

$= \frac{78}{360} \\ = \frac{13}{60}$

$let \: total \: number \: be \: x \\ \frac{13}{60} x = 1164 \\ x = \frac{1164 \times 60}{13} \\ x = 5372 \: movies$

A year has (4 × 12) weeks

= 48 weeks.

In 1 week = 9,568,000 movies

48 weeks = (48 × 9,568,000) movies

Average movies = 459.264 movies

Since 9.568 million movies are rented.

How about in one year ( 48 weeks )

Convert 1 year to weeks and compare with 1 week

What is the greatest number of rectangles 6cm x 4cm that can be cut from a piece of metal measures 16 cm x 20 cm?

Dominik [7]

Answer:

The greatest number of rectangles that can be cut from the piece of metal = 12

Explanation:

The dimension of the piece of metal = 16cm x 20cm

That is:

Length of the piece of metal = 20 cm

Width of the piece of metal = 16 cm

The dimension of the rectangle = 6cm x 4cm

Length of the rectangle = 6cm

Width of the rectangle = 4cm

The diagram below illustrates how the rectangles can be cut from the piece of metal

Considering the diagrams drawn above, and counting the rectangles formed, we can conclude that the greatest number of rectangles will be cut using the approach on the left, hence the greatest number of rectangles that can be cut is 12
