A prisoner is trapped in a cell containing 3 doors. The first door leads to a tunnelthat returns him to his cell after 2 days’ travel. The second leads to a tunnel thatreturns him to his cell after 4 day’s travel. The third door leads to freedom after 1day of travel. If it is assumed that the prisoner will always select doors 1,2,and 3with respective probabilities 0.5,0.3, and 0.2, what is the expected number of daysuntil the prisoner reaches freedom?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected number of days until prisoner reaches freedom=E(x)=?

E(x)=x*p(x)

Where x is the number of days and p(x) is the probability associated with them.

X    1    2    3

P(x) 0.5 0.3 0.2

E(x)=1*0.5+2*0.3+3*0.2

E(x)=0.5+0.6+0.6

E(x)=1.7.

Thus, the expected number of days until prisoner reaches freedom are 2 days.

on a map the distance between rip and Janeiro Brazil and San Jose Costa Rica is 4 inches.the scale on the map shows that 1 inch=200 miles ,or if you write it as a ratio.. how would set up a proportion if you want to figure out how many miles it is form Rio de Janeiro to San jose.?

Answers

Answer:

The way a proportion is set is as follows;

[tex]\dfrac{1 \ inch}{200 \ miles } = \dfrac{4 \ inches}{ Distance \ from \ Rio \ de \ Janeiro \ to \ San \ Jose}[/tex]

The Distance from Rio de Janeiro and San Jose Costa Rica is then found as  800 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimension of the distance between Rio de Janeiro and San Jose Costa Rica = 4 inches

The map scale = 1 inch to 200 miles

To figure out how many miles it is or the actual distance from Rio de Janeiro and San Jose Costa Rica, we have;

[tex]\dfrac{1 \ inch}{200 \ miles } = \dfrac{4 \ inches}{ Distance \ from \ Rio \ de \ Janeiro \ to \ San \ Jose}[/tex]

Therefore, we have;

(4 inches × 200 miles)/(1 inche) = Distance from Rio de Janeiro and San Jose Costa Rica

Which gives;

Distance from Rio de Janeiro and San Jose Costa Rica = 800 miles.

Mrs kanja ,miss kanene and Mrs nyaga have to mark a form three contest for 160students .They take 5mins ,4mins and 12mins respectively to mark a script .If they all start to mark at 9.00am non-stop ,what is the shortest time they ca n take to complete the marking?

Answers

Answer:

300 minutes

2:00 p.m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following:

Time taken to mark a script :

Mrs Kanja = 5mins

Miss Kanene = 4mins

Mrs Nyaga = 12 mins

Number of scripts = 160

Start time = 9:00 a.m

Rate at which each of them mark:

Mrs Kanja = t / 5

Miss Kanene = t/4

Mrs Nyaga = t/12

Combined rate :

t/5 + t/4 + t/12 = 160

(12t + 15t + 5t) / 60 = 160

32t / 60 = 160

32t = 160 * 60

32t = 9600

t = 9600 / 32

t = 300 minutes

300 minutes = 300/60 = 5hrs

9:00 a.m + 5 hours = 2:00 p.m

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadrilateral can be inscribed in a circle only if the sum of its opposite angles is equal to 180°, so:

7x - 15 + 3x + 15 = 180°      and      2(17y - 10) + 13y + 12 = 180°

     10x = 180°                                  34y - 20 + 13y + 12 = 180°

       x = 18°                                             47y = 188°

                                                                   y = 4°

m∠M:  2(17•4 - 10) = 2•58° = 116

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above would be the first option. The graph that shows a function where f(2) = 4 would be the graph that passes through point (2,4) which is shown in the first graph. Hope this answers the question.

Hey There!!

Your best choice is 1.

Because, We have to find a function where f(2)=4. It means the value of function is 4 at x=2.

In graph 1, the value of function is 4 at x=2, therefore option 1 is correct.

In graph 2, the value of function is -4 at x=2, therefore option 2 is incorrect.

In graph 3, the value of function is not shown in the graph at x=2, therefore option 3 is incorrect.

In graph 4, the value of function is not shown in the graph at x=2, therefore option 4 is incorrect.

Thus, correct option is 1.

An airplane leaves an airport and flies due west 150 miles and then 170 miles in the direction S 49.17°W. How far is the plane from the airport (round to the nearest mile)? (2 points) PLEASE HELP ASAP 30 POINTS!!!!!!! need full explanation and work

Answers

Answer:

299.99 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the plane traveled due west,

The total angle is 49.17 + 90

Represent that with θ

θ = 49.17 + 90

θ = 139.17.

Represent the sides as

A = 170

B = 150

C = unknown

Since, θ is opposite side C, side C can be calculated using cosine formula as;

C² = A² + B² - 2ABCosθ

Substitute values for A, B and θ

C² = 150² + 170² - 2 * 150 * 170 * Cos 139.17

C² = 22500 + 28900 - 51000 * Cos 139.17

C² = 51400 - 51000 (−0.7567)

C² = 51400 + 38,591.7

C² = 89,991.7

Take Square Root of both sides

C = 299.9861663477167

C = 299.99 miles (Approximated)

Hence, the distance between the plane and the airport is 299.99 miles

For part two, the only number not multiplying a variable is the 10, so that is the constant.

Answers

Answer: 25.6

First, notice that there is 1 adult and 2 children.

A normal adult ticket costs 24. But it's 1/3 off, so 24 * 1/3 = 8 off. That means with the Railcard, it only costs 24 - 8 = 16.

Next, one child ticket costs 12. But it's 60% = 3/5 off, so 12 * 3/5 = 7.2 off. That means with the Railcard, it only costs 12 - 7.2 = 4.8.

Remember there are 2 children, so we multiply by 2 to get 4.8 * 2 = 9.6 for the children.

Final answer: 1 adult + 2 children = 16 + 9.6 = 25.6.

Hope that helped,

Answer:

£25.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Adult tickets cost £24 and ⅓ is off the adult tickets according to the Family Railcard. That is:

£24 - £8 = £16

Child tickets cost £12 and 60% is off the child tickets according to the Family Railcard. That is:

12 × 60/100 = £7.20 is removed from the child tickets. Therefore:

£12 - £7.20 = £4.80

To find the total cost of Mr. Brown spent:

1 child = £4.80

2 children = ?

What is the period of y=sin x

Answers

Answer:

The period of y = sin(x) is 2π

The period of y = sin x would be equal to  2π.

The period of the function y = sin x refers to the length of one complete cycle of the graph of the sine function.

In this case, the period is calculated by the coefficient of x, which is 1.

For the function y = sin x, the period is 2π which means that the graph of y = sin x repeats itself every 2π units along the x-axis.

If the graph of y = sin x. Starting from the point (0,0), as x increases by 2π, then the y-values will repeat the same pattern. This repetition continues indefinitely as x increases or decreases.

Therefore, we can conclude that the period of y = sin x is 2π.

Insert 2 rational numbers between -1/3 and -1/2

Answers

Answer:

-11/24 and -4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is a fraction in the form a/b where both a and b are integers and b is not equal to zero.

Given the numbers -1/3 and -1/2, to place two numbers between them, we have to first find the width between the two numbers.

Width = -1/3 - (-1/2) = -1/3 + 1/2 = 1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6

Since two numbers are to be placed between -1/3 and -1/2, we have to divide the width into 3 which results to 1/6 ÷ 3 = 1/18

The first number placed is -1/3 - 1/18 = -11/24

The second number is -11/24 - 1/18 = -4/9
