Tomas bought 3 software apps and 2 e-books for a total of $21. The two e-books cost $12. If s represents the cost of each app, the total cost of all 5 items is represented by mc021-1.jpg. Which statement about verifying the solution for s is true?

The sequence 1/2 + 1/3 + ... + 1/n is not an integer because no fractions in this series can sum up to a whole number. This argument aligns with the behavior of the Harmonic series, of which this sequence is a subset.

The question asks to prove that the sum 1/2 + 1/3 + ... + 1/n is not an integer. To approach this, consider the Harmonic series, which is the sum of the reciprocals of the natural numbers: 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + … + 1/n. This series diverges, but since it never reaches an integer beyond 1, it suggests that any sum of its subset also won't be an integer.

For a more formal proof, suppose the sum 1/2 + 1/3 + ... + 1/n is an integer. It means that some fraction in that series would have to be a whole number, as fractions add up to fractions unless there is a whole number. Since none of the terms 1/2, 1/3, etc., are whole numbers, this contradicts our assumption. Therefore, 1/2 + 1/3 + ... + 1/n is not an integer.

Final answer:

The measure of MJarc in circle C, when MLarc is 138°, is calculated to be 222°, based on the property that the sum of arcs in a circle is 360°.

Explanation:

The question revolves around the properties of a circle and its tangents. We have a circle C with two tangents KJ and KL, touching the circle at points J and L respectively. In addition, we are told that the measure of the arc ML (from M to L) is 138° and we need to find the measure of the arc MJ (from M to J).

According to the properties of circles, a tangent at any point on the circle is perpendicular to the radius at that point. Also, the measure of an angle formed by a tangent and a chord through the point of tangency is half the measure of the intercepted arc. In this scenario, MJ and ML are two arcs that form a complete circle, so the sum of mMJarc and mMLarc should equal 360°. If mMLarc is 138°, then mMJarc, the arc we are trying to find, would be 360° - 138°, which equals 222°.

The problem is solved by setting up a system of equations. After solving, it was found that a sweater requires 375 grams of wool, a hat requires 75 grams, and a scarf requires 70 grams.

We are given that 555 grams of wool are needed to knit a sweater, a hat and a scarf. We are also told that the hat required 5 times less wool than the sweater, and 5 grams more than the scarf. To solve this problem, we can set up a system of equations to represent these relationships.

Let's define S as the number of grams of wool required for the sweater, H as the grams for the hat, and SC as the grams for the scarf.

From the problem, we have three equations:

By substituting H = S/5 and H = SC + 5 into the first equation, we can solve the system of equations to find the quantity of wool required for each item:

S = 375 grams, H = 75 grams, SC = 70 grams.

Therefore, a sweater requires 375 grams of wool, a hat requires 75 grams, and a scarf requires 70 grams.

To solve this problem, we can set up equations based on the given information and represent the amount of wool needed for each item using variables. By solving these equations, we can find the amount of wool needed for each item.

Let's define the variables:

x = amount of wool needed for the sweater

hat = amount of wool needed for the hat

scarf = amount of wool needed for the scarf

We know that hat requires 5 times less wool than the sweater, so hat = (1/5)x.

We also know that the hat requires 5 grams more than the scarf, so hat = scarf + 5.

Considering that the total amount of wool needed for the three items is 555 grams, we have:

Answer:

the m∠DEC=60°

Step-by-step explanation:

As given, information the triangle is shown in figure-1

Given:

m∠BAC = 50°

m∠CBA = 70°

we need to find m∠DEC

Since, sum of interior angles of triangle is 180°.

In triangle ABC,

m∠BAC+m∠CBA+m∠ACB=180°

50° + 70° + m∠ACB =180°

120° + m∠ACB =180°

subtract 120° from both the sides in above,

m∠ACB =180° - 120°

m∠ACB =160°

from the figure, we can see that BC║DE,

therefore

m∠DEC=m∠ACB

m∠DEC=60°

Therefore, the m∠DEC=60°

Answer:

a) Expected amount of winnings = -$0.084

Standard deviation = $3.00

b) Expected amount of winnings = -$0.084

Standard deviation = $1.73

c) The expected winnings for both cases is exactly the same, but the spread of the wins about the expected value/mean is low in the case (b) compared to case (a).

So, with the expected winnings using the method in (a) and (b) the same, the risk associated with betting $3 dollar per game is higher because it has a higher standard deviation. This points to higher spread of losses and wins betting $3 once than betting $1 three different times.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Suppose you play roulette and bet $3 on a single round. What is the expected value and standard deviation of your total winnings?

It's either one wins or not with a bet of $3.

We can then obtain the probability mass function.

Random variable X represents the amount of winnings.

- If one bets $3 and picks the right colour, the person wins $6.

X = amount of winnings = 6 - 3 = $3

probability of winning = (18/37) = 0.486

- If one bets $3 and picks the wrong colour, then the person wins $0.

X = amount of winnings = 0 - 3 = -$3

Probability of losing = (19/37) = 0.514

The probability mass function is then

X | P(X)

3 | 0.486

-3 | 0.514

E(X) = Σ xᵢpᵢ

xᵢ = each variable

pᵢ = probability of each variable

E(X) = (3×0.486) + (-3×0.514) = -$0.084

Standard deviation = √(variance)

Variance = Var(X) = Σx²p − μ²

μ = E(X) = -0.084

Σx²p = (3²×0.486) + [(-3)² × 0.514] = 9

Variance = 9 - (-0.084)² = 8.993

Standard deviation = √8.993 = 2.999 = $3

(b) Suppose you bet $1 in three different rounds. What is the expected value and standard deviation of your total winnings?

With a bet of $1,

It's either one wins or not with a bet of $1.

We can then obtain the probability mass function.

Random variable X represents the amount of winnings.

- If one bets $1 and picks the right colour, the person wins $2.

X = amount of winnings = 2 - 1 = $1

probability of winning = (18/37) = 0.486

- If one bets $1 and picks the wrong colour, then the person wins $0.

X = amount of winnings = 0 - 1 = -$1

Probability of losing = (19/37) = 0.514

The probability mass function is then

X | P(X)

1 | 0.486

-1 | 0.514

E(X) = Σ xᵢpᵢ

xᵢ = each variable

pᵢ = probability of each variable

E(X) = (1×0.486) + (-1×0.514) = -$0.028

For 3 rounds of $1, the expected amount of winnings = 3 × -0.028 = -$0.084

Variance = Var(X) = Σx²p − μ²

μ = E(X) = -0.028

Σx²p = (1²×0.486) + [(-1)² × 0.514] = 1

Variance = 1 - (-0.028)² = 0.999216

Variance for combining 3 independent distributions = Σ λᵢ²σᵢ²

Variance of 3 rounds of $1 bets = 3[1²× var(X)] = 3 × var(X) = 3 × 0.999216 = 2.997648

Standard deviation = √(variance) = √(2.997648) = $1.73

(c) How do your answers to parts (a) and (b) compare? What does this say about the riskiness of the two games?

The expected winnings for both cases is exactly the same, but the spread of the wins about the expected value/mean is low in the case (b) compared to case (a).

So, with the expected winnings using the method in (a) and (b) the same, the risk associated with betting $3 dollar per game is higher because it has a higher standard deviation. This points to higher spread of losses and wins betting $3 once than betting $1 three different times.

There are several relationships between angles in a transversal.

The measure of KNL is 102 degrees.

From the figure,

Angles KNJ and JNM are corresponding angles

So, we have:

[tex]KNJ = JNM[/tex]

This gives

[tex]3(x + 14) = 5x + 2[/tex]

Open brackets

[tex]3x + 42 = 5x + 2[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]3x - 5x = 2 - 42[/tex]

[tex]-2x = -40[/tex]

Divide both sides by -2

[tex]x = 20[/tex]

Angle KNL is

[tex]\angle KNL =3(x + 14)[/tex]

Substitute 20 for x

[tex]\angle KNL =3(20 + 14)[/tex]

[tex]\angle KNL =3(34)[/tex]

[tex]\angle KNL =102[/tex]

Hence, the measure of KNL is 102 degrees.

Answer:

a - 3b + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property indicates that two or more terms present in a sum or subtraction multiplied by another quantity, is equal to the sum or subtraction of the multiplication of each of the terms of the sum or subtraction by the number.

So,

1/2 (2a-6b + 8) = 1/2 (2a) + 1/2 (-6b) + 1/2 (8)

Now we multiply the factor (1/2) for each of the three terms,

1/2 (2a) + 1/2 (-6b) + 1/2 (8) = (2/2)a + (-6/2)b + (8/2) = a – 3b + 4

The solution is a - 3b + 4,

So we say that 1/2(2a - 6b + 8) is equivalent to a - 3b + 4.

The distributive property is solved to the equation and the expression is represented as A = a - 3b + 4

Given data:

To apply the distributive property to the expression 1/2(2a-6b+8), distribute the 1/2 to each term inside the parentheses.

1/2(2a-6b+8) can be rewritten as:

(1/2) * 2a + (1/2) * (-6b) + (1/2) * 8

Now, let's simplify each term:

(1/2) * 2a = a

(1/2) * (-6b) = -3b

(1/2) * 8 = 4

Putting it all together, the expression becomes:

A = a - 3b + 4

Hence, on applying the distributive property to 1/2(2a-6b+8) gives the equivalent expression as a - 3b + 4.

The probability that the system functions is 1. In part b, the probability that the system functions is 2 - 2p.

To find the probability that the system functions, we need to find the probability that either c or d functions. Since c and d function independently, we can use the addition rule of probability. The probability that c functions is 1 minus the probability that c fails, which is 0.08, so the probability that c functions is 1 - 0.08 = 0.92. Similarly, the probability that d functions is 1 - 0.12 = 0.88. Since either c or d must function, we can add the probabilities of c and d functioning: 0.92 + 0.88 = 1.80 (which exceeds 1 since it's not possible for both c and d to function simultaneously). Therefore, the probability that the system functions is 1.

In part b, if both c and d have a probability p of failing, then the probability that c functions is 1 - p, and the probability that d functions is also 1 - p. Again, using the addition rule of probability, the probability that the system functions is: (1 - p) + (1 - p) = 2 - 2p.
