Answer:
EF is the best vector described to intersect both point s
Let's look at work rates per minute.
Together they can paint the wall in x minutes.
Working together, in 1 minute, they do 1/x of the job.
The student who paints the wall in 16 minutes does 1/16 of the job in 1 minute.
The student who paints the wall in 24 minutes does 1/24 of the job in 1 minute.
Together, they do 1/16 + 1/24 of the job in 1 minute, but from above, we see that together, they do 1/x of the job in 1 minute, so 1/16 + 1/24 must equal 1/x. That gives us our equation.
1/16 + 1/24 = 1/x
1/16 * 3/3 + 1/24 * 2/2 = 1/x
3/48 + 2/48 = 1/x
5/48 = 1/x
x = 48/5 = 9.6
Answer: It takes them 9.6 minutes, or about 10 minutes to do the job together.
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 , 
And the variance is given by, 
Given : 
= 0.001
The formulae of mean and variance are :



a). Mean = 
=
= 1000
Variance = 
= 
= 999,000
The standard deviation is determined by the root of the variance.

=
= 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).

= $ 0.50
Since the answer is negative, we are expected to make a loss.
