A building contains two elevators, one fast and one slow. The average waiting time for the slow elevator is 3 min. and the avera

ge waiting time of the fast elevator is 1 min. If a passenger chooses the first elevator with probability 2 3 and the slow elevator with probability 1 3 , what is the expected waiting time?

Answer: The expected waiting time is 1\dfrac{2}{3}\ min

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Average waiting time for slow elevator = 3 min

Average waiting time for fast elevator = 1 min

probability that a person choose the fast elevator = \dfrac{2}{3}

Probability that a person choose the slow elevator = \dfrac{1}{3}

So, the expected waiting time would be

E[x]=\sum xp(x)=3\times \dfrac{1}{3}+1\times \dfrac{2}{3}\\\\=1+\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{3+2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{3}\\\\=1\dfrac{2}{3}\ min

Hence, the expected waiting time is 1\dfrac{2}{3}\ min

Answer:

3. 2

4. f(n) = 3 + 4(n - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

3. The general term of the arithmetic sequence is given by:

                                    A(n) = - 14 + (n - 1)(2)

To find the ninth term of this arithmetic sequence, just put $ n = 9 $ in the general term.

∴ A(9) = - 14 + (9 - 1)(2) = - 14 + 8(2) = -14 + 16 = 2.

Therefore the ninth term in the arithmetic sequence is two.

4. To know which expression represents the given sequence, substitute different values for $ n $ to conclude.

In Option A, f(n) = 4 + 3(n - 1). Substitute n = 1.

We get f(1) = 4 + 3(0) = 4. This is not the first term in the sequence and can be eliminated.

In Option B, f(n) = 4 + 3n. Substitute n = 1.

We get f(1) = 4 + 3(1) = 7, not 3 so can be eliminated.

Similarly in Option C, we get 7 and could be eliminated.

In Option D, f(n) = 3 + 4(n - 1). Substitute n = 1.

We get f(1) = 3 + 4(1 - 1) = 3, which is the first term in the sequence.

Similarly, f(2) = 3 + 4(2 - 1) = 3 + 4 = 7.

Substitute n = 3, 4 to get other terms as well.

So, we say f(n) = 3 + 4(n - 1) is the representation of the given arithmetic sequence.

If item costs $99.99 with 15% off and I get final price. It then asks me what percentage of savings. How do I get the percentage
nirvana33 [79]
Ok.. if you got 84.99 as you answer then you would put .15 *99.99 then you would get 14.9985 then round and get 15.00 and then 99.99 - 15.00 ....you will get 84.99...i think

Just 16 not the words below​
alekssr [168]

Answer:

Table F

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is C = 0.75t. The variable c is for cost and t is for tickets. When we use substitution to solve the equation, we see that table F correctly represents the situation. In simpler terms, the equation is asking us to mutliply the cost PER ticket by the number of tickets.

0.75 * 1 = 0.75

0.75 * 2 = 1.50

0.75 * 3 = 2.25

0.75 * 4 = 3

And so on. As we can see, the only table that shows these values is in fact table F.

Hope this helps!
