Mathematics

Answer:

176

Step-by-step explanation:

First term (a) = 29

Common difference (d) = 32 - 29 = 3

For calculating the 50th term , n = 50

Now

$t_{50} = a + ( n - 1) d\\t_{50} = 29 + ( 50 - 1 ) *3\\ t_{50} = 29 + 147\\t_{50} = 176$

hope it will help :)

There are 50 teens in a work program. The circle graph shows the percentage of workers who have 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 siblings.

Lostsunrise [7]

So there are 50 teens total
16% have no sibblings

so we must find 16% of 50
16%=16/100=0.16

'of' can be translated as multiply so
0.16 times 50=8
there were 8 teens who have no sibblings

A standard interior staircase has steps each with a rise (height) of 21 cm and a run (horizontal depth) of 24 cm. Research sugge

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The staircase would extends 1.20 m if the changes were made.

Step-by-step explanation:

Acording tho the statement the total heigth is 5.04 m, that is 504 cm, each steps rises 21 cm. with this information we can calculte how many steps are in the whole staircase:

$Number steps= \frac{Total heigth}{each step} \\Number steps= \frac{504}{21} = 24 steps$

To calculate how much the staircase will extend, whe have to multiply the horizontal depth times the number of steps.

using the run of 24 cm that gives us a lengt of 576 cm and if the changes were made the new length will be 696 cm.

So the staircase would extend an amount of (696 - 576), that is 120 cm, or 1.20 m, if the changes were made.

Customers arrivals at a checkout counter in a department store per hour have a Poisson distribution with parameter λ = 7. Calcul

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

(1)14.9% (2) 2.96% (3) 97.04%

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for Poisson distribution: $P(k) = \frac{\lambda^ke^{-k}}{k!}$ where k is a number of guests coming in at a particular hour period.

(1) We can substitute k = 7 and $\lambda = 7$ into the formula:

$P(k=7) = \frac{7^7e^{-7}}{7!}$

$P(k=7) = \frac{823543*0.000911882}{5040} = 0.149 = 14.9\%$

(2)To calculate the probability of maximum 2 customers, we can add up the probability of 0, 1, and 2 customers coming in at a random hours

$P(k\leq2) = P(k=0)+P(k=1)+P(k=2)$

$P(k\leq2) = \frac{7^0e^{-7}}{0!} + \frac{7^1e^{-7}}{1!} + \frac{7^2e^{-7}}{2!}$

$P(k \leq 2) = \frac{0.000911882}{1} + \frac{7*0.000911882}{1} + \frac{49*0.000911882}{2}$

$P(k\leq2) = 0.000911882+0.006383174+0.022341108 \approx 0.0296=2.96\%$

(3) The probability of having at least 3 customers arriving at a random hour would be the probability of having more than 2 customers, which is the invert of probability of having no more than 2 customers. Therefore:

$P(k\geq 3) = P(k>2) = 1 - P(k\leq2) = 1 - 0.0296 = 0.9704 = 97.04\%$
