Which of the following would earn the same amount of interest as a $600 principal with 2.5%

Suppose N has a geometric distribution with parameter p. Derive a closed-form expression for E(N | N <= k), k = 1,2,... Check

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

P(X= k) = (1-p)^k-1.p

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of trials is

N < = k, the geometric distribution gives the probability that there are k-1 trials that result in failure(F) before the success(S) at the kth trials.

Given p = success,

1 - p = failure

Hence the distribution is described as: Pr ( FFFF.....FS)

Pr(X= k) = (1-p)(1-p)(1-p)....(1-p)p

Pr((X=k) = (1 - p)^ (k-1) .p

Since N<=k

Pr (X =k) = p(1-p)^k-1, k= 1,2,...k

0, elsewhere

If the probability is defined for Y, the number of failure before a success

Pr (Y= k) = p(1-p)^y......k= 0,1,2,3

0, elsewhere.

Given p= 0.2, k= 3,

P(X= 3) =( 0.2) × (1 - 0.2)²

P(X=3) = 0.128

The hourly wages earned by 20 employees are shown in the first box and whisker plot below. The person earning $15 per hour quits

serg [7]

I added the plots in the attachments.

Answer:

The mean will decrease

The median will remain the same

Explanation:

1- checking the mean:

Mean of the salaries is calculated as follows:

$Mean = \frac{sum-of-salaries}{number-of-employees}$

Now, we can note that two parameters affect the mean, let's consider each:

a. Number of employees:

We are given that one employee is replaced with another. This means that the number of employees did not change

b. Sum of salaries:

We are given that a person earning $15 left and the new person earns $7. This means that:

New sum of salaries = old sum of salaries - 15 + 7 = old sum of salaries - 8

This means that the sum of salaries decreased by 8

Now, for the mean:

We can conclude that since the numerator decreased while the denominator stayed the same, the mean will decrease

2- checking the median:

In the whisker plots, the median is represented by the vertical line inside the plot.

In the first plot, we can note that the vertical line is nearly half the distance between 9 and 10. This means that, for the first plot, the median is approximately 9.5

In the second plot, the place of the median is unchanged. It is still approximately midway between 9 and 10 which means that the median in the second plot is approximately 9.5

Therefore, the median of the data remains unchanged.

Hope this helps :)

(01.04 MC)Simplify the following expression: (−4)(−2)(−3) A -24 B -11 C 11 D 24

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

-24

Step-by-step explanation:

So in short this is what it means:

-4×-2×-3

So to work it out this is what you do:

Deal with the first two numbers; -4 × -2=8

It becomes an eight without a negative because when multiplying numbers with the same signs(positive or negative) the answer is always a positive number thus the answer becomes 8.

Then 8×-3=-24

This is because when multiplying a negative and positive numbers the answer is always a negative numbers thus -24.

So automatically the answer is -24.

Hyun Woo is riding a ferris wheel. H t H(t) models his height (in m m) above the ground, t t seconds after the ride starts. Here

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

53 seconds.

Explanation:

The text and the model are garbled.

This is the question amended:

Hyun Woo is riding a ferris wheel. H(t) models his height (in m) above the ground, t seconds after the ride starts. Here, t is entered in radians.

H(t) = -10 cos(2π/150 t)+10

When does Hyun Woo first reach a height of 16 m?

<h2>Solution</h2>

When Hyun Woo reaches a height of 16 m the model states:

16 = -10 cos(2π/150 t)+10

Then you must find the lowest positive value of t that is a solution of the equation.

Solve the equation:

16 = -10 cos(2π/150 t)+10

10cos(2π/150 t) = - 6

cos(2π/150t) = -0.6

2π/150t = arccos(-0.6)

2π/150t = 2.214297

t = 52.86s ≈ 53 s ← answer

The lengths of the sides of a right triangle are a and b, and the hypotenuse is

mamaluj [8]

A^2+b^2=c^2
(2sqrt3)^2+b^2=16
12+b^2=16
solve for b
b=2
Now triangle area is A=1/2 bh
so
A=(1/2)(2)(2sqrt3)
A=2sqrt3
