George Martin loves The Beatles. Honestly, who doesn’t? On George’s favorite Spotify playlist, 40% of the songs are by The Beatl

es. During a long road trip, George shuffled his playlist and listened to 30 songs. What is the probability that at least half of the songs on the trip were by The Beatles? Don’t forget to check appropriate conditions before you do your computations. Note: you can assume the playlist is infinite in length.

Answer:

17.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, see this situation as a cumulative binomial distribution. You have isolated trials with a probability of success. This makes it binomial. The wording of the question "what is the probability of at least half..." makes this cumulative.

There are a few ways to calculate this, and I'm not quite sure which way you're familiar with. I'll show the cumbersome way and use wolfram to make the calculation.

First, I'll calculate the probability for 15 success, given 30 trials.

30c15*0.4^15*0.6^15

Since the question asks for the probability of at least 15 success, I'll have to make a calculation for the probability of 16 successes, then 17, and so on. Then I'll have to add all the probabilities together. So, I'll use wolfram for that (see attached)

▹ Answer

<em>y = 15, -15</em>

▹ Step-by-Step Explanation

This is considered a 'square root' since we have to find y^2.

15 * 15 = 225

-15 * -15 = 225

Both of these values work for y, so the answer is 15, -15.

Hope this helps!

A 30-N stone is dropped from a height of 10 m and strikes the ground with a speed of 13 m/s.
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

4.1 N

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by using considerations about energy.

At the moment the stone is dropped, it has only gravitational potential energy:

PE=mgh

where

mg=30 N is the weight of the stone

h = 10 m is the initial height of the stone

As the stone falls, part of this energy is converted into kinetic energy, while part into thermal energy due to the presence of the air friction, acting opposite to the motion of the stone:

KE+E_t = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + E_t

where:

m=\frac{mg}{g}=\frac{30}{9.8}=3.06 kg is the mass

v = 13 m/s is the final speed of the stone

E_t is the thermal energy

The thermal energy is actually equal to the work done by the air friction on the stone:

E_t=W=Fh

where

F is the average force of friction

h = 10 m

Since the total energy must be conserved, we can combine the three equations, so we find:

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+Fh

And solving for F, we find the average force of air friction:

F=\frac{mgh-0.5mv^2}{h}=\frac{(30)(10)-0.5(3.06)(13)^2}{10}=4.1 N
