Answer:

49 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that an elevator ascends at a rate of 29.6 feet per second. A building is 1,450 feet tall. We are asked to find the time it will take for the elevator to travel from the ground floor to the roof.

To find the time taken by elevator to reach the top of the building, we will use rate formula.

\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Rate}}

\text{Time}=\frac{\text{1450 ft}}{\frac{\text{29.6 feet}}{\text{second}}}

\text{Time}=\frac{\text{1450 ft}}{\text{29.6 feet}}\times\text{second}

\text{Time}=48.986486\times\text{second}

\text{Time}\approx 49\text{ seconds}

Therefore, it will take approximately 49 seconds for the elevator to travel from the ground floor to the roof.

It costs 20 cents to receive a photo and 30 cents to send a photo from a cellphone. C is the cost of one photo (either sent or r
ddd [48]

Answer:

(a) PC(C)=     \left \{ {{0.6 \ \ \ \ x=20} \atop 0.4 \ \ \ \ {x=30}} \right. \\\ 0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ else

(b) E[C] = 24 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost to receive a photo = 20 cents

Cost to send a photo = 30 cents

Probability of receiving a photo = 0.6

Probability of sending a photo = 0.4

We need to find

(a) PC(c)

(b) E[C]

Solution:

(a)

PC(C)=     \left \{ {{0.6 \ \ \ \ c=20} \atop 0.4 \ \ \ \ {c=30}} \right. \\\ 0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ else

(b)

Expected value can be calculated by multiplying probability with cost.

E[C] = Probability × cost

E[C] = 0.6\times20 +0.4 \times 30 = 12 + 12 = 24\  cents

In a statewide soccer competition, 36 games were played. Each team participating in the competition played once with every other
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

9 teams

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total games played was 36 and no team played each other twice, we need to ensure there isn't any double counting.

36 = (n-1) + (n-2) + (n-3) ... + (n-(n-1))

using this knowledge, we can then count up:

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 36

If our highest number is 8, then we know there must be 9 teams, because no team can play themselves.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

=(k−1)*P(X>k−1) or (k−1)365k(365k−1)(k−1)!

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to find PMF

Let X = k represent the case in which there is no birthday match within (k-1) people

However, there is a birthday match when kth person arrives

Hence, there is 365^k possibilities in birthday arrangements

Supposing (k-1) dates are placed on specific days in a year

Pick one of k-1 of them & make it the date of the kth person that arrives, then:

The CDF is P(X≤k)=(1−(365k)k)/!365k, so the can obtain the PMF by  

P(X=k) =P (X≤k) − P(X≤k−1)=(1−(365k)k!/365^k)−(1−(365k−1)(k−1)!/365^(k−1))=

(k−1)/365^k * (365k−1) * (k−1)!

=(k−1)*(1−P(X≤k−1))

=(k−1)*P(X>k−1)
