Answer:

C. mean: 6.4 and standard deviation: 2.31862028

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

n=40

p=0.16

q= 1-p = 0.84

mean = np = 40*0.16 = 6.4

standard deviation =\sqrt{ np(1-p) }

                                = \sqrt{40*.016*(1- 0.16)}

                              sd = 2.31862028

What is k if : k!+48=48((k+1)^m)
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The value of k is greater than or equal to 0, i.e. k≥7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

k!+48=48((k+1)^m)

The value of k must be a positive integer because k! is defined for k≥0, where k∈Z.

Subtract 48 from both the sides.

k!=48((k+1)^m)-48

k!=48((k+1)^m-1)

k!=48(k+1-1)(\frac{(k+1)^m-1}{(k+1)-1})

Using [\frac{r^m-1}{r-1}=r^{m-1}+r^{m-2}+...+1], we get

k!=48k((k+1)^{m-1}+(k+1)^{m-2}+...+1)

Divide both sides by 48k.

\frac{k!}{48k}=(k+1)^{m-1}+(k+1)^{m-2}+...+1

\frac{k(k-1)!}{48k}=(k+1)^{m-1}+(k+1)^{m-2}+...+1

\frac{(k-1)!}{48}=(k+1)^{m-1}+(k+1)^{m-2}+...+1

Note: The value of m can be 0 or 1.

The value of k is positive integer, so the right hand side of the above equation must be a positive integer.

Since RHS of the equation is positive integer, therefore (k-1)! is completely divisible by 48.

k-1\geq 6

Add 1 on both sides.

k\geq 6+1

k\geq 7

Therefore the value of k is greater than or equal to 0.
