Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometric distribution represents "the number of failures before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials. This discrete probability distribution is represented by the probability density function:"
Let X the random variable that measures the number os trials until the first success, we know that X follows this distribution:
In order to find the expected value E(1/X) we need to find this sum:

Lets consider the following series:
And let's assume that this series is a power series with b a number between (0,1). If we apply integration of this series we have this:
(a)
On the last step we assume that
and
, then the integral on the left part of equation (a) would be 1. And we have:

And for the next step we have:

And with this we have the requiered proof.
And since
we have that:

Answer:
Part 1) The volume of the ball is 256 cm³
Part 2) The radius of the ball is 3.94 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1) we know that
The density is equal to divide the mass by the volume
D=m/V
Solve for the volume
The volume is equal to divide the mass by the density
V=m/D
In this problem we have
m=128 g
D=0.5 g/cm³
substitute
V=128/0.5=256 cm³
Part 2) what is the radius of the ball?
we know that
The volume of the sphere (ball) is equal to

we have

assume

substitute and solve for r

Answer:
The circle has an area of about 1385 square mm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's recall that circles have an area that can be found with the following formula:

where r is the radius of the circle.
Now, focus your eyes on the circle. We are shown that the diameter of this circle is 42 mm, but we only want the radius. Since the radius is half the diameter, the radius is 21 mm. Now, we can solve for the area of the circle.

So, to the nearest whole number, the area of the circle is 1385 square mm.
