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.

A farmer uses 1/3 of his land to plant cassava, 2/5 of the remaining and to plant maize and the rest vegetables.if vegetables co

abruzzese [7]

Cassava = 1/3 of his land

Remaining after planting Cassava = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3 of his land

Maize = 2/5 x 2/3 = 4/15 of his land

Vegetables = 2/3 - 4/15 = 2/5 of his land

If vegetables = 10 acres

2/5 of his land = 10 acres

1/5 of his land = 10 ÷ 2 = 5 acres

5/5 of his land = 5 x 5 = 25 acres

Answer: Total area 25 acres.

The graph shows the distance in miles of a runner over x hours. What is the average rate of speed over the interval [9, 11]?

JulsSmile [24]

For this case what you should see is that for the interval [9, 11] the behavior of the function is almost linear.
Therefore, we can find the average rate of change as follows:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m = (11-6) / (11-9)
m = (5) / (2)
m = 5/2
Answer:
the average rate of speed over the interval [9, 11] is:
D. 5 / 2

On the first day of a family road trip, Kai's family travels 365 miles.

Gekata [30.6K]

They traveled 292 miles on day two.

Known: On the first day they traveled 365 and on the second they traveled 20% less.

Solution:

If they traveled 20% less on the second day, that means they traveled 80% of the distance they traveled the first day.

365 miles * .8 = 292.

You could also solve this as:
20% of 365 is 73 miles
365 * .2 = 73.
So they traveled 73 less miles on the second day.
365 miles on the first day - 73 miles less on the second day = 292 miles.

I hope this helps!

Data from 14 cities were combined for a 20-year period, and the total 280 city-years included a total of 107 homicides. After

leonid [27]

Answer:

P(0) = 0.6825

P(1) = 0.2607

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information, the number of homicide is 107 and the total number of homicides per city –year is 280.

Let us denote the number of homicides per city-year as X.

The mean value, X is calculated as:

\begin{array}{c}\\{\rm{Mean}} = \frac{{107}}{{280}}\\\\ = 0.382\\\end{array}

Mean= 107/280 = 0.382

The mean number of homicides per city- year \left( {\lambda = \mu } \right)(λ=μ) is 0.382.

a. The probability that zero homicides is obtained is as below:

\begin{array}{c}\\P\left( {X = 0} \right) = \frac{{{e^{ -0.382}}{{\left( {0.382} \right)}^0}}}{{0!}}\\\\ = \frac{{\left( {0.6825 \right)\left( {\rm{1}} \right)}}{1}\\\\ = 0.6825\\\end{array}

P(X=0) = e −0.382 (0.382)⁰/1

= (0.6825)(1) /1

P(X=0) = 0.6825

Thus, the probability that zero homicides P(0) is 0.6825.

b. The probability that one homicides is obtained is as below:

\begin{array}{c}\\P\left( {X = 0} \right) = \frac{{{e^{ -0.382}}{{\left( {0.382} \right)}^0}}}{{0!}}\\\\ = \frac{{\left( {0.6825 \right)\left( {\rm{1}} \right)}}{1}\\\\ = 0.6825\\\end{array}

P(X=1) = e −0.382 (0.382)¹/1

= (0.6825)(0.382)/1

P(X=1) = 0.2607

Thus, the probability that zero homicides P(0) is 0.2607.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced Probability Problems.

Based on the study that Shane conducted we can assume a couple of things. Firstly, we can see that a vast majority of shoppers are buying products they saw advertised, so we can assume that advertising a product directly affects and contributes to the sales of that particular product.

Secondly, we can tell from the study that the number 1 method for advertising products is the Internet. Since 70% of all the interviewed shoppers are buying a product they saw on the internet.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
