An elevator has 4 passengers and 8 floors. Find the probability that no 2 passengers get off on the same floor considering that it is equally likely that a person will get off at any floor.

Answers

Answer 1

The probability is 5/343.

Given :8 floors and 4 passengers.

Passengers will be assumed to start on the first floor, where everyone goes up, and each passenger only gets off on the 2nd floor (no one gets off on the 1st floor!)

Now we need to find the number of all ordered lists of four numbers out of seven, eg 2<3<7<8, 3<6<7<8, 4<5<6o<8, etc.

This can be done in 7C4 ways.

The total numbers of ways 4 passengers can get off at 7 floors (starting at the 2nd!) is [tex]7^{4}[/tex].

Therefore the probability is [tex]\frac{7C4}{7^{4} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{343}[/tex]

Answers

The rule for the reflection of the pre-image M(-5, 4), L(-4, 2), N(-2, 3), to form the image M'(-5, -4), L'(-4, -2), N'(-2, -3) is the option;

rx-axis(x, y) → (x, -y)

Which method can be used to find the rule for the reflection?

The given pre-image points are;

M(-5, 4)L(-4, 2)

Possible third point; N(-2, 3)

The image points are;

M'(-5, -4)M'(-5, -4)L'(-4, -2)M'(-5, -4)L'(-4, -2)N'(-2, -3)

The difference (change) between the pre-image and the image is a change in the sign of the y-value, which is equivalent to a reflection across the x-axis.

Therefore;

rx-axis M(-5, 4) → M'(-5, -4)rx-axis L(-4, 2) → L'(-4, -2)rx-axis N(-2, 3) → N'(-2, -3)

The rule for the reflection is therefore;

Angela and Michelle shared some money in the ratio 4: 9 then Angela gave Daniel half her share.Michelle gave Daniel a third of her share. Daniel was given a total of £20. Work out how much money was originally shared.​

Answers

Using a system of equations, it is found that £52 was originally shared.

In this problem, the variables are given as follows:

Variable x: Angela's share.Variable y: Michelle's share.Variable z: Daniel's share.

Angela and Michelle shared some money in the ratio 4: 9, hence, considering t as the total:

What assumption do we need to make to find a valid 99% confidence interval for the mean number of all workplace homicides per year

Answers

We have to assume that the sample mean is given , distribution is normal and sample size is also given.

Given confidence level 99%.

We have to answer the assumptions that are needed to make a valid 99% confidence interval.

Confidence interval can be made by formula of margin of error.

Margin of error is the difference between actual values and the calculated values.

Upper level of confidence interval=Mean+ margin of error

Lower level of confidence interval= Mean - margin of error.

By using trigonometric relations, we will see that:

How to find the value of x?

In the image, we can see a right triangle, where the hypotenuse measures √6, and the two legs have the same measure.

Then this is a 45°, 45°, 90° right triangle.

Then we can use the relation:

cos(a) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse).

Where a = 45°, adjacent cathetus = x, hypotenuse = √6

Replacing that, we get:

cos(45°) = x/√6

Remember that cos(45°) = 1/√2

Replacing that we get:

1/√2= x/√6

√6/√2 = x

Answers

The height of the pole is 96 feet

In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem, or Pythagoras' theorem, is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right triangle. It states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides. This theorem can be written as an equation relating the lengths of the legs a, b and the hypotenuse c, often called the Pythagorean equation:[1]

[tex]a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2},[/tex]

Create a diagram of the scenario first. You would have a right triangle with a hypotenuse (longest side) of h + 4, a longest leg of h - 68, and one leg of length h to represent the pole.

Set up the equation [tex]h^2 + (h - 68)^2 = (h + 4)^2[/tex] using the Pythagorean theorem ([tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex]).

[tex]h^2 + (h - 68)^2 = (h + 4)^2[/tex]

On simplifying we get

[tex]h^2+h^2-136h+4624 = h^2+8h+16[/tex]

[tex]2h^2-136h+4624=h^2+8h+16[/tex]

[tex]h^2-144h+4608=0[/tex]

Solving using quadratic formula

[tex]h_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-144\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-144\right)^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:4608}}{2\cdot \:1}[/tex]  

[tex]h_1=\frac{-\left(-144\right)+48}{2\cdot \:1},\:h_2=\frac{-\left(-144\right)-48}{2\cdot \:1}[/tex]

h1 = 96 feet , h2 = 48 feet

If height would have been 48 feet then the other side would have a negative value as as 48 - 68 = -20 .

Answers

Answer:

The cost of 30 gallons of gas is $74.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the price that Tyler pays for gas varies directly with the number of gallons he buys.The cost 24 gallons is $59.76 to him.Now we need to find the cost of 30 gallons.To solve this problem use a direct variation formula.Solve for constant variation.

Step 1 of 3

Here we need to find the cost of 30  gallons.

Given that the price that Tyler pays for gas varies directly with the number of gallons he buys.

The cost of 24  gallons is $59.76  to him.

Let, x  be the number of gallons and y  be the cost or price for gas.

Use the formula for direct variation which is given by y=kx.

Step 2 of 3

Now substitute the value y=$59.76 and x=24.

Put value in y=kx, we get

[tex]$$\begin{aligned}&59.76=k \times 24 \\&k=2.49\end{aligned}$$[/tex]

Substitute value of k is y=kx, we get y=2.49x

Step 3 of 3

Now we need to find the value of y that is the cost for 30 gallons.

Again use direct variation formula y=kx and value of k and x, we get [tex]$y=2.49 \times 30$[/tex]

Answers

Speedy cage is 2 inches taller than fluffy cage.

How to find the volume of a rectangular prism?

The volume of rectangular prism = lwh

where

l =lengthh = heightw = weight

Therefore,

height of fluffy cage can be calculate as follows:

4340 = 20 × 14 × h

4340 = 280h

h = 4340 / 280

h = 15.5 inches

height of Kenneth cage can be calculate as follows:

5250 = 20 × 15 × h

5250 = 300h

h = 5250 / 300

h = 17.5 inches
