Answer:

40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year she ran five miles in 50 minutes

This year her timing improved by 20%. This means she runs 5 miles in 20% less time than last year

How long does it take her to run five miles?

= 50 minutes - 20% of 50 minutes

= 50 minutes - 20/100 * 50 minutes

= 50 minutes - 0.2 * 50 minutes

= 50 minutes - 10 minutes

= 40 minutes

This year, it takes her 40 minutes to run 5 miles

To find the quotient of 4 divided by 1/5, multiply 4 by <br> 1/5<br> 1/4<br> 4<br> Or <br> 5
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing numbers by fractions, we can simply multiply the  umber by the reciprocal of the decimal. So,

4 ÷ 1/5 = 4 × (reciprocal of 1/5)

A reciprocal of a number is the same number written under 1. aka, 1 divided by that number, which simply is flipping the numerator and denominator of a number.

So the reciprocal of 1/5 is 5/1 = 5.

So 4 ÷ 1/5 = 4 × 5.

So your answer is 5.

hope it was useful!!! ;)

Suppose N has a geometric distribution with parameter p. Derive a closed-form expression for E(N | N &lt;= k), k = 1,2,... Check
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

P(X= k) = (1-p)^k-1.p

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of trials is

N < = k, the geometric distribution gives the probability that there are k-1 trials that result in failure(F) before the success(S) at the kth trials.

Given p = success,

1 - p = failure

Hence the distribution is described as: Pr ( FFFF.....FS)

Pr(X= k) = (1-p)(1-p)(1-p)....(1-p)p

Pr((X=k) = (1 - p)^ (k-1) .p

Since N<=k

Pr (X =k) = p(1-p)^k-1, k= 1,2,...k

0, elsewhere

If the probability is defined for Y, the number of failure before a success

Pr (Y= k) = p(1-p)^y......k= 0,1,2,3

0, elsewhere.

Given p= 0.2, k= 3,

P(X= 3) =( 0.2) × (1 - 0.2)²

P(X=3) = 0.128
