Answer:

10.6 Ounces

Each ounce of dried pineapple costs $0.25

Divide $2.65 by $0.25

2.65/0.25=10.6

Mags bought 10.6 oz.

Show that if X is a geometric random variable with parameter p, then

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{p(1-p)^{k-1}}{k}=-\frac{p ln p}{1-p}$

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:"

$P(X=x)=(1-p)^{x-1} p$

Let X the random variable that measures the number os trials until the first success, we know that X follows this distribution:

$X\sim Geo (1-p)$

In order to find the expected value E(1/X) we need to find this sum:

$E(X)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{p(1-p)^{k-1}}{k}$

Lets consider the following series:

$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} b^{k-1}$

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:

$\int_{0}^b \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} r^{k-1}=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \int_{0}^b r^{k-1} dt=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{b^k}{k}$ (a)

On the last step we assume that $0\leq r\leq b$ and $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} r^{k-1}=\frac{1}{1-r}$ , then the integral on the left part of equation (a) would be 1. And we have:

$\int_{0}^b \frac{1}{1-r}dr=-ln(1-b)$

And for the next step we have:

$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{b^{k-1}}{k}=\frac{1}{b}\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{b^k}{k}=-\frac{ln(1-b)}{b}$

And with this we have the requiered proof.

And since $b=1-p$ we have that:

$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{p(1-p)^{k-1}}{k}=-\frac{p ln p}{1-p}$

What is 8,792 as a fraction?

Wittaler [7]

We have a number $8.792$ .

To write it as a fraction first count the number of decimals and call it $n$ (which, in our case, has a value of 3). Multiply the number with $10^n$ to get $8792$ . Then divide this number by $10^n$ to get $\frac{8792}{10^n}$ from here you can either simplify (if the assignment says so, then the simplified fraction is $\frac{1099}{125}$ ) or not.

Hope this helps.

Is 7(x+2y) the equivalent of 14x + 14y

ryzh [129]

Answer:

the expressions are not equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

7(x+2y) (distribute 7 into the parentheses)

= x(7) + 2y(7)

= (7x + 14y) ≠ (14x + 14y)

hence the expressions are not equivalent

Sketch the graph of y (x +3)2-4 and identify the axis of symmetry.

masya89 [10]

The axis of symmetry is at x = -3.

This can be found by looking at the basic form of vertex form:

y = (x - h)^2 + k

In this basic form the vertex is (h, k). By looking at what is plugged into the equation, it is clear that h = -3 and k = -4. This means the vertex is at (-3, -4).

It is a fact that the axis of symmetry is a vertical line of x = (vertex value of x). So we can determine that the axis of symmetry is at x = -3
