0.2(3k+1)=-0.4-(-0.2-0.1K)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tanya [424]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

k=−0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the equation: 0.2(3k+1)=-0.4-(-0.2-0.1K)

Use distributive property on each side of the equation. For the left side, distribute 0.2 into 3k and 1, and for the right side, distribute -1 into -0.2 and -0.1k. (We use a -1 because the negative sign on the outside of the parenthesis is equivalent to -1)

(0.2)(3k) + (0.2)(1) = 0.6k + 0.2

(-1)(-0.2) + (-1)(-0.1k) = 0.2 + 0.1k

New equation: 0.6k + 0.2 = -0.4 + 0.2 + 0.1k

Now we can combine like terms on the right side. (-0.4 and 0.2)

0.6k + 0.2 = 0.1k - 0.2

Now to get rid of k on one side, we can subtract 0.1k from the right side.

(0.6k - 0.1k) + 0.2 = (0.1k - 0.1k) - 0.2

0.5k + 0.2 = -0.2

Now we need to get 0.5k by itself, so we'll subtract the 0.2 on both sides.

0.5k + (0.2 - 0.2) = (-0.2 - 0.2)

0.5k = -0.4

To get k by itself, we must divide both sides by 0.5.

(0.5k / 0.5) = (-0.4 / 0.5)

k = -0.8

Use the fact that the mean of a geometric distribution is μ= 1 p and the variance is σ2= q p2. A daily number lottery chooses th
butalik [34]

Answer:

a). The mean = 1000

     The variance = 999,000

     The standard deviation = 999.4999

b). 1000 times , loss

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of geometric distribution is given as , $\mu = \frac{1}{p}$

And the variance is given by, $\sigma ^2=\frac{q}{p^2}$

Given : $p=\frac{1}{1000}$

             = 0.001

The formulae of mean and variance are :

$\mu = \frac{1}{p}$

$\sigma ^2=\frac{q}{p^2}$

$\sigma ^2=\frac{1-p}{p^2}$

a). Mean =   $\mu = \frac{1}{p}$

              = $\mu = \frac{1}{0.001}$

              = 1000

  Variance =   $\sigma ^2=\frac{1-p}{p^2}$

                  = $\sigma ^2=\frac{1-0.001}{0.001^2}$

                           = 999,000

   The standard deviation is determined by the root of the variance.

    $\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2}$

        = $\sqrt{999,000}$ = 999.4999

b). We expect to have play lottery 1000  times to win, because the mean in part (a) is 1000.

When we win the profit is 500 - 1 = 499

When we lose, the profit is -1

Expected value of the mean μ is the summation of a product of each of the possibility x with the probability P(x).

$\mu=\Sigma\ x\ P(x)= 499 \times 0.001+(-1) \times (1-0.001)$

  = $ 0.50

Since the answer is negative, we are expected to make a loss.

$3.00 marked up 72%<br><br>(please show your work!!)<br><br>thank you❤️❤️​
Daniel [21]
<h3>Answer:  $5.16</h3>

==================================================

Work Shown:

72% = 72/100 = 0.72

72% of $3.00 = 0.72*3.00 = 2.16

The price increases by $2.16 to get the final answer of 3.00+2.16 = 5.16 dollars

-------

We can find this answer through this alternative route:

1.72*3 = 5.16

The multiplier 1.72 represents an increase of 72% since 1.72 = 1 + 0.72 = 100% + 72% = 172%
