People are arriving at a party one at a time. While waiting for more people to arrive they entertain themselves by comparing the

ir birthdays. Let X be the number of people needed to obtain a birthday match, i.e., before person X arrives there are no two people with the same birthday, but when person X arrives there is a match. Find the PMF of X.

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)

Ethan enjoys buying books and going to the movies. He has income of $150 to spend on these two goods each month. The price of a
erica [24]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

A.) the substitution effect would predict Ethan would consume less books and more movies and the income effect would predict he would consume less of both.

B.) the substitution and income effects would both predict Ethan would consume less of both goods.

C.) the substitution effect would predict Ethan would consume more books and less movies, and the income effect would predict he would consume less of both.

D.) the substitution and income effects would both predict Ethan would consume more of both goods.

If he continuos to buy 4 books ans 6 movies the total amount is $170, that he does not have. He has to buy less books or go less to the movies.

A global efect of a certain good (X) price rise can be divided into 2 efects:

  • substitution effect: indicates a demand reduction of X, resulting from the price rise, making X less atractive to consumption
  • income effect: indicates a reduction of the demanded quantity of X resulting from the reduction of the acquisition power created by the rise of X price.

So, answer is A.

san4es73 [151]
Step 1:

<span>Calculate the effective thermal conductivity of the wall or ceiling:
</span>
K_eff = [ (13 ÷ 8)(0.12) + (16 - (13 ÷ 8)) × (0.04)] ÷ 16 


K_eff =<span> [ 0.195 + 0.565] </span>÷<span> 16

</span>
K_eff = 0.76 ÷ 16
 

K_eff = 0.0475 W/ (m K) 


Step 2:

Calculate <span>the interior ceiling area:

</span>Area of each of the interior side walls = <span>8.82 m x 8.64 m
                                                                = 76.2 m</span>²

Area of the interior ceiling = 8.64 m × <span>8.64 m
</span>                                             = 74.6 m²

H = - k·A·(Δ - T) ÷ <span>(thickness)
</span>
H = - 0.0475 ÷ (379.45 × 20) ÷  45/8

H = - ( - 0.95 × 379.45 ) ÷<span> 0.1429
</span>
H = <span>2.52 kW </span>

You got 2 types of data $ and %!
Line them up accordingly and cross multiply.

16% is to $38 as
100% is to $x

X= 38•100/16= $237.5 the price before discount
