A person participates in a weekly office pool in which he has one chance in ten of winning the prize. If he participates for 5 weeks in succession, what is the probability of winning at least one prize.

Answers

Answer 1

The probability of winning at least one prize is 0.40951.

What is probability?

Probability is the likelihood that an event will occur.

The following information can be deduced:

P = probability of winning = 1/10

q = probability of not winning = 1- (1/10) = 9/10

x = no. of winning

then, p (x ≥ 1) = 1 - p (x < 1)

= 1 - p (x=0)

= 1 - ⁵C₀ (1/10)^⁰ (9/10)^(5-0)

= 1 - (1) (1) (9/10)^5

=  1 - (9/10)^5

= 1 - 0.59049

= 0.40951

Therefore, the probability is 0.40951.

1 calculate the weight of a dog on the earth and on the moon if it has a mass of 28kg

Answers

To solve the problem.

W=m×g

W=28×10

W=280.

The weight of a dog on the surface of earth is 280N.

Answer:

274.68N and 45.36N respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of any object is the mass in kilograms(kg) multiplied by the gravity in meter per square second(m/s^2). The gravity on earth is 9.81m/s^2 and on moon is 1.62m/s^2...so since the gravity varies the weight of the dog will also vary. The wight on earth would be 28kg multiplied by 9.81m/s^2 which would be 274.68N and the weight on moon would be 28kg multiplied by 1.62m/s^2 which would be 45.36N.

Sin A = 15 / 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a right angled triangle, we are to obtain the Sin of the angle A ;

Using trigonometry, the sin of the angle A, Sin A is the ratio of the angle opposite A to the hypotenus of the right angle triangle.

Hence. Sin A = opposite / hypotenus

Opposite = 15 ; hypotenus = 17

A boat takes 3 days to travel from town A to town B, but it takes 4 days to travel from town B to town A. If a motor-less raft is left alone in the water by town A, how long will it take for the raft to float to town B?

Answers

Answer:

24 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from A to B equals the distance from B to A.

Let the distance between A and B be d.

3 days = 72 hours

4 days = 96 hours

speed = distance/time

speeds are in miles per hour

speed from A to B = d/72

speed from B to A = d/96

difference in speeds:

d/72 - d/96 = d/288

The speed of the water is half of the difference.

speed = d/576

When the raft floats from A to B, it uses only the speed of the water.

d/576 / d/72 = 1/8

The speed of the water is 1/8 the overall speed of the trip from A to B, so traveling by the speed of the water alone must take 8 times longer than with the boat motor.

8 * 3 days = 24 days

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf x \approx 1.9}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find x, a missing side in a triangle.

This is a right triangle because there is a small square in the corner representing a 90 degree or right angle. Therefore, we can use right triangle trigonometry. The three main functions are:

sinθ= opposite/hypotenuse cosθ= adjacent/hypotenuse tanθ= opposite/adjacent

Examine the triangle. We will use angle S, measuring 54 degrees, for theta. Side QR, measuring x, is opposite angle S. Side QS, measuring 2.3, is the hypotenuse because it is opposite the right angle. Since we have the opposite and hypotenuse, we will use sine.

[tex]sin \theta = \frac {opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

θ= 54opposite= x hypotenuse = 2.3

[tex]sin (54)= \frac{ x}{2.3}[/tex]

We are solving for x, so we must isolate the variable. It is being divided by 2.3 The inverse operation of division is multiplication, so we multiply both sides by 2.3

[tex]2.3* sin (54)= \frac{x}{2.3}*2.3[/tex]

[tex]2.3* sin (54)=x[/tex]

[tex]2.3*0.8090169944=x[/tex]

[tex]1.860739087 =x[/tex]

Round to the nearest tenth. The 6 in the hundredth place to the right tells us to round the 8 up to a 9.

[tex]1.9 \approx x[/tex]

x is approximately 1.9

Mean = ΣX / n = 1825 / 25 = 73

The mode = 71 ( most frequently occurring)

Median = 1/2(n+1)th term = 1/(26) = 13th term

Median = 73

10 years ago :

51, 55, 56, 59, 65, 67, 68, 69, 69, 74, 75, 76, 77, 77, 79, 79, 79, 86, 87, 89, 90, 91, 91, 95, 98

Mean = ΣX / n = 1902 / 25 = 76.08

The mode = 79 ( most frequently occurring)

Median = 1/2(n+1)th term = 1/(26) = 13th term

Median = 77

According to the computed statistics, we can conclude that, today is worse than the past as the average score which is almost similar to the median value is higher 10 years ago and the modal score is better 10 years ago as well.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides be x and y. The problem is essentially asking:

Given 2(x+y)=108, maximize xy.

We know that x+y=54. By the Arithmetic Mean - Geometric Mean inequality, we can see that [tex]\frac{x+y}{2} \ge \sqrt{xy[/tex]. Substituting in x+y=54, we get [tex]27\ge\sqrt{xy}[/tex], meaning that [tex]729 \ge xy[/tex]. Equality will only be obtained when x=y (in this case it will generate the maximum for xy), so setting x = y, we can see that x = y = 27. Hence, 27 is the answer you are looking for.

if for men working for hours for 4 days complete for unit of work then how many unit of work will be completed by two men working for two hours per day?​

Answers

The 2 men working for 2 hours per 2 days will complete 1/2 unit of work. This is calculated by using the proportions formula.

What is the formula for calculating equal proportions?

The formula for the given proportions is,

a: b = c: d

⇒ a/b = c/d

⇒ ad = bc

In this way, the required variable is calculated.

Calculation:

For the given question, the proportion we can write

M1 × H1 × D1: M2 × H2 × D2 = W1: W2

⇒ M1 × H1 × D1 × W2 = M2 × H2 × D2 × W1

Where M1 = 4; H1 = 4; D1 = 4; M2 = 2; H2 = 2; D2 = 2 and W1 = 4

We need to calculate W2 -  required units of work

So, on substituting,

M1 × H1 × D1 × W2 = M2 × H2 × D2 × W1

⇒ 4 × 4 × 4 × W2 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 4

⇒ 64 × W2 = 32

⇒ W2 = 32/64

∴ W2 = 1/2

Thus, the required units of work are 1/2.

So, 2 men working for 2 hours for 2 days will complete 1/2 unit of work.
