Let

be the random variable indicating whether the elevator does not stop at floor

, with

Let

be the random variable representing the number of floors at which the elevator does not stop. Then

We want to find

. By definition,
![\mathrm{Var}(Y)=\mathbb E[(Y-\mathbb E[Y])^2]=\mathbb E[Y^2]-\mathbb E[Y]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%28Y%29%3D%5Cmathbb%20E%5B%28Y-%5Cmathbb%20E%5BY%5D%29%5E2%5D%3D%5Cmathbb%20E%5BY%5E2%5D-%5Cmathbb%20E%5BY%5D%5E2)
As stated in the question, there is a

probability that any one person will get off at floor

(here,

refers to any of the

total floors, not just the top floor). Then the probability that a person will not get off at floor

is

. There are

people in the elevator, so the probability that not a single one gets off at floor

is

.
So,

which means
![\mathbb E[Y]=\mathbb E\left[\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^nX_i\right]=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n\mathbb E[X_i]=\sum_{i=1}^n\left(1\cdot\left(1-\dfrac1n\right)^m+0\cdot\left(1-\left(1-\dfrac1n\right)^m\right)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathbb%20E%5BY%5D%3D%5Cmathbb%20E%5Cleft%5B%5Cdisplaystyle%5Csum_%7Bi%3D1%7D%5EnX_i%5Cright%5D%3D%5Cdisplaystyle%5Csum_%7Bi%3D1%7D%5En%5Cmathbb%20E%5BX_i%5D%3D%5Csum_%7Bi%3D1%7D%5En%5Cleft%281%5Ccdot%5Cleft%281-%5Cdfrac1n%5Cright%29%5Em%2B0%5Ccdot%5Cleft%281-%5Cleft%281-%5Cdfrac1n%5Cright%29%5Em%5Cright%29)
![\implies\mathbb E[Y]=n\left(1-\dfrac1n\right)^m](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cimplies%5Cmathbb%20E%5BY%5D%3Dn%5Cleft%281-%5Cdfrac1n%5Cright%29%5Em)
and
![\mathbb E[Y^2]=\mathbb E\left[\left(\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n{X_i}\right)^2\right]=\mathbb E\left[\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n{X_i}^2+2\sum_{1\le i](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathbb%20E%5BY%5E2%5D%3D%5Cmathbb%20E%5Cleft%5B%5Cleft%28%5Cdisplaystyle%5Csum_%7Bi%3D1%7D%5En%7BX_i%7D%5Cright%29%5E2%5Cright%5D%3D%5Cmathbb%20E%5Cleft%5B%5Cdisplaystyle%5Csum_%7Bi%3D1%7D%5En%7BX_i%7D%5E2%2B2%5Csum_%7B1%5Cle%20i%3Cj%7DX_iX_j%5Cright%5D%3D%5Cdisplaystyle%5Csum_%7Bi%3D1%7D%5En%5Cmathbb%20E%5B%7BX_i%7D%5E2%5D%2B2%5Csum_%7B1%5Cle%20i%3Cj%7D%5Cmathbb%20E%5BX_iX_j%5D)
Computing
![\mathbb E[{X_i}^2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathbb%20E%5B%7BX_i%7D%5E2%5D)
is trivial since it's the same as
![\mathbb E[X_i]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathbb%20E%5BX_i%5D)
. (Do you see why?)
Next, we want to find the expected value of the following random variable, when

:

If

, we don't care; when we compute
![\mathbb E[X_iX_j]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathbb%20E%5BX_iX_j%5D)
, the contributing terms will vanish. We only want to see what happens when both floors are not visited.

![\implies\mathbb E[X_iX_j]=\left(1-\dfrac2n\right)^m](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cimplies%5Cmathbb%20E%5BX_iX_j%5D%3D%5Cleft%281-%5Cdfrac2n%5Cright%29%5Em)

where we multiply by

because that's how many ways there are of choosing indices

for

such that

.
So,
Answer:
Interest Rate : 0.0346 or 3.46%
Step-by-step explanation:
• 429.2=350*(1+x)^6
• 429.2/350= (1+x)^6
•(429.2/350)^(1/6)= 1+x
•(429.2/350)^(1/6)-1= x
Check work:
350*(1+0.0346)^6=429.2
Answer:
$1661.41875
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you purchased the following
$27.35,$54.15,$125
So let's add up
27.35+54.15+125
206.5
So let's determine the interest
1.25% of 206.5
1.25/100 ×206
258.125/100
2.58125
So we will have to deduct 2.58125 from the initial amount
1664-2.58125
1661.41875
So the amount left is $1661.41875
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the cofunction identities
tan(90 - A) = cotA and cscA = sec(90- A)
Consider the left side
tanA + tan(90 - A)
= tanA + cotA
=
+ 
= 
= 
=
× 
= secA × cscA
= secA. sec(90 - A) = right side ⇒ verified
