Answer:

E 240

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean of the geometric distribution = (1- p) / p

16 = (1 - p) / p

16p = 1 - p;  17p = 1; thus, p = 1/17 = 0.058  

Standard Deviation = (1 - p) / p^2

= (1 - 0.058) / (0.058)^2

0.942 / 0.003364

= 280, which is closest to 240

Henri has $24,000 invested in stocks and bonds. The amount in stocks is $6,000 more than three times the amount in bonds. Call t
zzz [12365]

Answer:

The solution to this problem indicates that Hernry invested $18,000 in stocks and $6,000 in bonds.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to multiply 6 by 3. The outcome is 18, meaning it is three times higher than the bond amount. Next, subtract $24,000 from $18,000, which gives you $6,000, representing the bond investment. Hence, it is three times less than the stocks as the question describes.

A scientist needs 10 liters of a 20% acid solution for an experiment, but she has only a 5% solution and a 40% solution. To the
Svet_ta [12734]
<span>5.7 liters of a 5% solution combined with 4.3 liters of a 40% solution. To begin, define the problem with formulas. x Represents the liters of the 5% solution utilized. 10-x Represents the liters of the 40% solution used. This forms an equation: 5% of x plus 40% of (10-x) equals 20% of 10. 0.05x + 0.40(10-x) = 0.20 * 10 Now, distribute the 0.40 coefficient. 0.05x + 4.0 - 0.40x = 0.20 * 10 Next, combine the terms. 4.0 - 0.35x = 2.0 Add 0.35x to each side. 4.0 = 2.0 + 0.35x Subtract 2 from both sides. 2.0 = 0.35x Lastly, divide both sides by 0.35. 5.7 = x Thus, 5.7 liters of a 5% solution is required. To determine the volume of the 40% solution, subtract from 10. 10.0 - 5.7 = 4.3</span>

Leona [12618]
a) Approximately 40° for depression and 5° for elevation; b) it relates to the height of the observer; c) none. Step-by-step explanation: (a) Angles of depression and elevation: The angle of depression is roughly 40°, while the angle of elevation is around 5°. (b) The angles depend on the observer's height. A taller individual will have a smaller angle of elevation paired with a larger angle of depression. (c) None of the angles can reach or exceed 99°, since they are components of a right triangle. If one angle is a right angle, both of the others must be lesser than 90°.

the volume of a cone is 3πx3 cubic units and its height is x units. which expression represents the radius of the cone’s base, i
Inessa [12570]
The volume provided is 3Pi(x^3) with a radius of x. To determine the volume of a cone, the formula used is V= [1/3]Pi(r^2)*height. By substituting, we get [1/3]Pi(r^2)x = 3Pi(x^3). This simplifies to (r^2)x = 9(x^3). Eventually, we find that r^2 = 9x^2, which leads to r = sqrt[9x^2] = 3x. <span>Answer: r = 3x</span>
