The elves and reindeer are getting ready for a meeting with Santa.
So far 14 of them have arrived.
If they have 38 legs between them, how many reindeer are at the meeting and how many elves are at the meeting?

Answers

Answer 1

Let [tex]e[/tex] and [tex]r[/tex] be the number of elves and reindeers, respectively.

We know that:

[tex]r+e=14[/tex] (so far 14 of them have arrived)

[tex]4r+2e = 38[/tex](each reindeer has 4 legs and each elf has two)

If we multiply the first equation by 2 we have [tex]2r+2e=28[/tex], and if we subtract this equation from the second we have [tex]2r=10[/tex] which implies [tex]r=5[/tex].

So, there are 5 reindeers and 9 elves (remember that they have to sum up to 14).

Answer 2

The number of reindeers is 5 and the number of elves is 9.

Two equations can be derived from the equation:

e + r = 14 equation 1

2e + 4r = 38 equation 2

Where:

e = number of elves at the meeting

r = number of reindeers at the meeting

In order to determine the value of r, multiply equation 1 by 2.

2e + 2r = 28 equation 3

Subtract equation 3 from 2

2r = 10

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

r = 5

To solve for e substitute for r in equation 1

5 + e = 14

e = 14 - 5

e = 9

Prove that log(3) 7 is an irrational number

Answers

Answer:

Proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

Irrational and Rational Numbers

We need to use the basic property of logarithms:

[tex]log_b\ a=x\ \ \Rightarrow b^x=a[/tex]

We are given:

[tex]log_3\ 7[/tex]

And we will prove it's an irrational number, i.e., it's not a rational number.

Recall a rational number can always be expressed as a fraction a/b, where a and b are integer numbers. Thus, if the expression was a rational number, then:

[tex]\displaystyle log_3\ 7=\frac{a}{b}[/tex]

Applying the property:

[tex]\displaystyle 3^{\frac{a}{b}}=7[/tex]

Raising to the power of b:

[tex]3^a=7^b[/tex]

It's not possible to find two integers a and b that satisfy the condition above. That contradiction comes from the assumption that [tex]log_3\ 7[/tex] is rational, thus, it's proven [tex]log_3\ 7[/tex] is irrational.

Step-by-step explanation:

all three are polygons whose sum of all interior angles can be found by using the formula (n - 2)*180 where 'n' refers to the number of sides

In #3 and 5 there are 5 sides, so (5 - 2)*180 = 3(180) giving a total of 540 degrees. Add all known angles and deduct from 540.

#4 has 7 sides, so (7 - 2)*180 = 1260 degrees. Add all known angles and deduct sum from 1260.

#5 Add all integers plus 'x' + '2x' to get 240 + 3x = 540

Automobiles arrive at the drive-through window at a post office at the rate of 7 every 10 minutes. The average service time is 7 minutes. The Poisson distribution is appropriate for the arrival rate and service times are exponentially distributed. (Note: the given equations are NOT necessarily in the correct order.) What is the average time a car is in the system?Formulas for 13.17 What is the average number of cars in the system? What is the average time cars spend waiting to receive service? What is the average number of cars in line behind the customer receiving service? What is the probability that there are no cars at the window? What percentage of the time is the postal clerk busy? What is the probability that there are exactly two cars in the system?

Answers

Answer:

1) the average time a car is in the system is 0.1587 min

2) the average number of cars in the system 0.1111

3) the average time cars spend waiting to receive service is 0.01587 min

4) the average number of cars in line behind the customer receiving service is 0.01111

5) the probability that there are no cars at the window is 0.9

6) the percentage of time that the postal clerk is busy is 10%

7) the probability that there are exactly two cars in the system is 0.1217

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Arrival rate λ = the rate of 7 every 10 minutes = 7/10 = 0.7

Average service time μ = 7 minutes

The Poisson distribution is appropriate for the arrival rate and service times are exponentially distributed.

1) What is the average time a car is in the system?

Average in the system W = 1 / (μ - λ)

= 1 / (7 - 0.7) = 1 / 6.3 = 0.1587 min

therefore the average time a car is in the system is 0.1587 min

2) What is the average number of cars in the system?

Average number of cars L = λ / (μ - λ)

= 0.7 / (7 - 0.7) = 0.7/6.3 = 0.1111

Therefore the average number of cars in the system 0.1111

3) What is the average time cars spend waiting to receive service?

Average time spend waiting for services  Wq = λ / μ(μ - λ)

= 0.7 / 7(7 - 0.7) = 0.7/44.1 = 0.01587 min

Therefore the average time cars spend waiting to receive service is 0.01587 min

4) What is the average number of cars in line behind the customer receiving service?

average number of cars in line behind the customer receiving service

Lq = λ² / μ(μ - λ) = (0.7)² / 7(7 - 0.7) = 0.49 / 44.1 = 0.01111

Therefore the average number of cars in line behind the customer receiving service is 0.01111

5) What is the probability that there are no cars at the window?

probability that there are no cars at the window = 1 -  (λ / μ)

= 1 -  (0.7 / 7) = 1 - 0.1 = 0.9

Therefore the probability that there are no cars at the window is 0.9

6) What percentage of the time is the postal clerk busy?

percentage of the time is the postal clerk busy = (λ / μ)

= (0.7 / 7) = 0.1 ≈ 10%

Therefore the percentage of time that the postal clerk is busy is 10%

7) What is the probability that there are exactly two cars in the system?

the probability that there are exactly two cars in the system = (λ²e^-λ) / 2!

= (0.7²e^-0.7) / 2! = 0.2433 / 2 = 0.1217

Therefore the probability that there are exactly two cars in the system is 0.1217

The letters in the word SANTA CLAUS are printed on identical index cards with one letter per card. The ten cards are then placed in a hat, and one card is randomly chosen (without looking) from the hat. The chance process we are interested in is what letter is on the selected card.

The missing part:

Make a model of probability showing the set of outcome and the probability value of each outcome.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

a) From the word SANTA CLAUS, outcomes are all distinct letters.

This implies that the outcomes are S, A, N, T, C, L, U, S

For  S, N, T, C, L, U, S letters, each of them is repeated once.

Thus, their respective probability = [tex]\dfrac{1}{10}[/tex]

A is repeated thrice, so probability for A = [tex]\dfrac{3}{10 }[/tex]

Equation of a sequence

We are given the following sequence of numbers corresponding to the positions x={1,2,3,4,5,...}

To find the equation of the sequence, we must recall the general term of a sequence is:

[tex]a_x=a_1+(x-1).r[/tex]

Where r is the common difference between two consecutive terms, an and a1 are the x-th and the first terms respectively.

We can find the value of r by subtracting any pair of consecutive terms:

r = 26-32 = 20-26 = 14-20 = -6

An athlete's target heart rate, in beats per minute, is $80\%$ of the theoretical maximum heart rate. The maximum heart rate is found by subtracting the athlete's age, in years, from 220. To the nearest whole number, what is the target heart rate of an athlete who is 26 years old

Answers

Answer:

155

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the question states that;

Maximum heart rate= 220 - athletes age

If athletes age = 26 years

Maximum heart rate= 220 - 26 = 194

Again;

athlete's target heart rate= 80% × Maximum heart rate

Athlete's target heart rate= 0.8 × 194= 155
