Answer:

$4895

Step-by-step explanation:

P(winning) = 1 / 1000000 = 0.000001

P(not winning) = 1 - 1/1000000 = 0.999999

Winning amount = 4,900,000,000 - 5 = 4899999995

Amount lost = - 5

__ X: - 5 _________ 4899999995

P(X) : 0.999999 ___ 0.000001

Expected value E(x) = Σx * p(x)

E(x) = - 5(0.999999) + 4899999995(0.000001)

E(x) = - 4.999995 + 4899.999995

E(x) = 4895

Hence, expected value is 4895

117 Mr. Turtle, Mrs. Squirrel and Ms. Pigeon work at the Magic Forest's post office. Mr. Turtle can
insens350 [35]

Using proportions, it is found that the same job will take Mrs. Squirrel 6 hours.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

The times are given as follows:

  • Mrs. Squirrel: x.
  • Mr. Turtle: 3 days.
  • Mr. Pigeon: 30 minutes = Half an hour = 1/48 day.

The ratios are as follows:

Turtle/Squirrel = Squirrel/Pigeon.

Hence:

\frac{3}{x} = \frac{x}{\frac{1}{48}}

x^2 = \frac{3}{48}

x^2 = \frac{1}{16}

x = \sqrt{\frac{1}{16}}

x = 1/4.

It takes 1/4 of a day for Mrs. Squirrel to do the job, hence 1/4 x 24 hours = 6 hours.

When a ball is dropped from a state of rest at time t=0t=0, the distance, measured in feet, that it has traveled after tt second
Maru [420]

Part A. To solve for the distance travelled during the interval, all we have to do is to plug in values of t = 3 and t = 3.5 in the equation and the difference would be the answer:

when t = 3: s = 16 (3)^2 = 144 m

when t = 3.5: s = 16 (3.5)^2 = 196 m

Therefore the distance travelled within the interval is:

196 m – 144 m = 52 m

 

<span>Part B. The velocity is calculated by taking the 1st derivative of the equation. v = ds / dt</span>

s = 16 t^2

ds / dt = 32 t = v

when t = 3: v = 32 (3) = 96 m / s

when t = 3.5: v = 32 (3.5) = 112 m / s

Therefore the average velocity is:

(96 + 112) /2 = 104 m / s

 

Part C. We can still use the formula v = 32 t and plug in the value of t = 3

v = 32 t = 32 (3)

v = 96 m / s
