13. En un pueblo, 5 personas escucharon una noticia. En una hora, cada una de ellas

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

En 5 horas se habrá enterado todo el pueblo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sabemos que en un pueblo 5 personas escucharon una noticia.

Una hora más tarde, cada una de ellas le contó la noticia a otras 5.

Luego, éstas contaron la noticia a otras 5 y así sucesivamente.

Nadie cuenta ni escucha la noticia más de una vez y en ese pueblo hay un poco más de 19000 habitantes.

La ecuación a desarrollar para resolver el problema es la siguiente :

Comenzamos con 5 personas que escucharon la noticia a la ''hora 0''.

Una hora más tarde, cada una de ellas le contó a 5 personas, es decir , pasada la primera hora tendremos :

$5+5^{2}=30$ (I)

Las 5 personas originales de la ''hora 0'' más 25 personas que se enteraron pasada la primera hora. La ecuación que planteamos es la siguiente :

$5^{1}+5^{2}+5^{3}+...+5^{x}>19000$ (II)

Buscamos el valor de $x$ que satisface la ecuación (II).

Probando y realizando las sumas encontramos que :

$5^{1}+5^{2}+5^{3}+5^{4}+5^{5}+5^{6}>19000$

$19530>19000$

El valor de $x$ que satisface (II) es $x=6$ .

Para hallar el número de horas nos fijamos que en (I) el valor del mayor exponente del 5 es el número 2. Para ese valor 2, el tiempo que pasó es una hora.

Entonces para nuestro $x=6$ , el número de horas que pasaron son 5 horas (1 menos que el valor de $x$ )

Todo el pueblo se habrá enterado en 5 horas de la noticia.

62% of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers. You randomly select 10 U.S. adults. Find the probability that the

velikii [3]

Answer:

a) 0.1829

b) 0.6823

c) 0.0413

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat adult having little confidence in the newspaper as a success.

P(Adult have little confidence) = 62% = 0.62

Then the number of adults follows a binomial distribution, where

$P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}$

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 10

a) exactly 5

$P(x =5)\\\\=\binom{10}{5}(0.62)^5(1-0.62)^5\\\\=0.1829$

0.1829 is the probability that exactly 5 out of 10 U.S.adults have very little confidence in newspapers.

b) atleast six

$P(x \geq 6)\\\\ = P(x = 6) + P(x = 7)+P(x = 8)+P(x = 9)+P(x=10)\\\\= \displaystyle\sum \binom{10}{n}(0.62)^n(1-0.62)^{10-n}, n =6,7,8,9,10\\\\= 0.6823$

0.6823 is the probability that atleast 6 out of 10 U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers.

c) less than four

$P(x$

0.0413 is the probability that less than 4 out of 10 U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers.

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

15.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Patty is building a rope ladder tree house she needs two 4 foot pieces of rope for the sides of the ladder.

She needs 6 pieces of rope each 15 inches long for the steps.

Question asked:

How many feet of rope does patty need to make the ladder ?

Solution:

She needs for the sides of the ladder = Two 4 foot pieces of rope

= 2 $\times$ 4 feet = 8 feet

She needs for the steps of the ladder = 6 pieces of 15 inches long rope

= 6 $\times$ 15 inches = 90 inches

Convert 90 inches into feet:-

12 inches = 1 feet

1 inches = $\frac{1}{12} \ feet$

90 inches = $\frac{1}{12} \times90=\frac{90}{12} =7.5\ feet$

Patty needs total rope = 8 feet + 7.5 feet

= 15.5 feet

Thus, Patty needs 15.5 feet of rope to make the ladder.
