The secretary in Exercises 2.121 and 3.16 was given n computer passwords and tries the passwords at random. Exactly one of the p

Vlada [557]

Answer:

There is a $\frac{(n-1)^{5}}{n^{6}}$ probability that the correct password is found on the sixth try.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have n passwords, only 1 is correct.

So,

Since a password is put back with other, at each try, we have that:

The probability that a password is correct is $\frac{1}{n}$

The probability that a password is incorrect is $\frac{n-1}{n}$ .

There are 6 tries.

We want the first five to be wrong. So each one of the first five tries has a probability of $\frac{n-1}{n}$ . So, for the first five tries, the probability of getting the desired outcome is $\frac{(n-1)^{5}}{n^{5}}$ .

We want to get it right at the sixth try. The probability of sixth try being correct is $\frac{1}{n}$ .

So, the probability that the first five tries are wrong AND the sixth is correct is:

$P = \frac{(n-1)^{5}}{n^{5}}\frac{1}{n} = \frac{(n-1)^{5}}{n^{6}}$

There is a $\frac{(n-1)^{5}}{n^{6}}$ probability that the correct password is found on the sixth try.

Convert from DMS (degrees, minutes, seconds) to decimal form (degrees)

tino4ka555 [31]

All I remember is: 1° (degree) = 60' (minute) = 3600" (second) and use the given numbers to put on the..... d° m' s"........dd = d + m/60 + s/3600

1) 118°44'15" => 118/1 + 44/60 + 15/3600 = 118.7375

same thing with
2) <span>48°30'36" => 48 + 30/60 + 36/3600 = 48.51</span>
