This illustrates a classic trick question! haha

Consider it this way.

Going up is proportional to the ascent, and going down corresponds to descent.

Is the elevator moving upwards? Yes

Does the time to reach a specific floor increase as it ascends higher? Yes.

Therefore, the 750 feet is irrelevant in this context.

The straightforward answer is yes.

A local PTA runs a fundraiser, selling lottery tickets for $5, offering 1 first prize of $100 and 5 second prizes worth $20 each
Inessa [12570]
The expected value is calculated by subtracting the expected cost from the anticipated income.

The expected cost is fixed at $5.

The anticipated income arises from the probability associated with each outcome multiplied by its respective reward.

=> For the first prize: probability * prize = (1 / 100) * $ 100 = $1

=> For the second prize: probability * prize = (5 / 100) * $20 = $1

Thus, the expected value comes out to $1 + $1 - $5

This gives us an expected value of - $3

Final answer: - $ 3

I prefer using ratios and cross multiplication for scenarios like this. Divide the part (1001) by the whole (1300), and set that equal to x percent of 100 percent.

1001/1300 = x/100
100100 = 1300x
x = 77

In a circle, an arc 60 centimeters long subtends an angle of 5 radians. What is the radius of the circle?
Inessa [12570]
Got it!
There are 2π radians in a complete circle.

Now, let's calculate the circumference.
5/2π = 60/circumference.
Next, solve for the circumference.
By multiplying both sides by 2π, we have: 5 * circumference = 120π.
Now divide both sides by 5, and we find: circumference = 24π.

Using the formula c = 2πr,
we set 24π = 2πr.
Dividing both sides by 2π gives us r = 12. Thus, the radius measures 12cm.
