Your friend rolled a number cube and got number 5. On his next turn he says he won’t be able to get another 5 because his chance

s are one in every six rolls.

Answer:

he can still get a 5 but he is equally likely to get any other number 1 to 6

Step-by-step explanation:

he has a 1/6 chance of rolling 5 the first turn and it becomes more and more rare to roll lots of 5s in a row

1/6

1/36

1/216

etc

each time the denominator is multiplied by 6 because it is less likely he will roll a 5 so many times in a row

A given angle measures 90°.. Then, note that the total measurement of the triangle is 180°... Subtract 180° by 90°, and the other angles must add up to 90°!

The time intervals between successive barges passing a certain point on a busy waterway have an exponential distribution with me
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

a) <u>0.4647</u>

b) <u>24.6 secs</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T be interval between two successive barges

t(t) = λe^λt where t > 0

The mean of the exponential

E(T) = 1/λ

E(T) = 8

1/λ = 8

λ = 1/8

∴ t(t) = 1/8×e^-t/8   [ t > 0]

Now the probability we need

p[T<5] = ₀∫⁵ t(t) dt

=₀∫⁵ 1/8×e^-t/8 dt

= 1/8 ₀∫⁵ e^-t/8 dt

= 1/8 [ (e^-t/8) / -1/8 ]₀⁵

= - [ e^-t/8]₀⁵

= - [ e^-5/8 - 1 ]

= 1 - e^-5/8 = <u>0.4647</u>

Therefore the probability that the time interval between two successive barges is less than 5 minutes is <u>0.4647</u>

<u></u>

b)

Now we find t such that;

p[T>t] = 0.95

so

t_∫¹⁰ t(x) dx = 0.95

t_∫¹⁰ 1/8×e^-x/8 = 0.95

1/8 t_∫¹⁰ e^-x/8 dx = 0.95

1/8 [( e^-x/8 ) / - 1/8 ]¹⁰_t  = 0.95

- [ e^-x/8]¹⁰_t = 0.96

- [ 0 - e^-t/8 ] = 0.95

e^-t/8 = 0.95

take log of both sides

log (e^-t/8) = log (0.95)

-t/8 = In(0.95)

-t/8 = -0.0513

t = 8 × 0.0513

t = 0.4104 (min)

so we convert to seconds

t = 0.4104 × 60

t = <u>24.6 secs</u>

Therefore the time interval t such that we can be 95% sure that the time interval between two successive barges will be greater than t is <u>24.6 secs</u>

98 Points! MATH SOLVING SYSTEMS OF LINEAR EQUATIONS
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

40 Tickets

80 Tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many tickets it will take to break even, we use the formula:

Break Even In Units = \dfrac{FixedCost}{SalesPricePerUnit-VariableCost}

Our variables are:

Fixed Cost = $200

Sales Price = $10

Variable Cost = $5

Let's plug in our values into the formula.

Break Even In Units = \dfrac{200}{10-5}

Break Even In Units = \dfrac{200}{5}

Break Even In Units = 40

So the class needs to sell a total of 40 Tickets to break even.

Since we know that it takes 40 tickets to break even a $200 Fixed cost. To make a profit of $200, we simply multiply the number of tickets sold by 2.

Number of tickets for $200 profit = 40 x 2

Number of tickets for $200 profit = 80 Tickets.

So the class needs to sell 80 Tickets to make a $200 Profit.
