A ping pong ball has a 75% rebound ratio. When you drop it from a height of k feet, it bounces and bounces endlessly. If the height of the bounce follows geometric progression, find the general term that represent the situation in term of k. [2 marks] Hence, if the ball dropped from a height of 235ft, determine i. the highest height achieved by the ball after six bounces ii. the total distance travelled by the ball when it strikes the ground for 12th time [2 marks] [3 marks b) The number of cell double after each process of cell division every 2 hours. If there are 120 bacteria initially, how many bacteria will be there after one and half day? [4 marks]​

Answers

Answer 1

The movement of the ping pong ball follows a exponential progression.

The expression for the k-th bounce is: [tex]\mathbf{T_k = 235 \times (0.75)^k}[/tex]The height after the 6th bounce is 41.82 ftThe total distance after the 12th bounce is 1584.84ft.There will be 31457280 bacteria after a day and a half.

1. Ping pong ball

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{a = 235}[/tex] --- the initial height

[tex]\mathbf{r = 75\%}[/tex] --- the common ratio

(a) The expression after bouncing k times

To do this, we make use of

[tex]\mathbf{T_n = a \times r^n}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{T_n = 235 \times (0.75)^n}[/tex]

In this case; k = n.

So, the equation becomes

[tex]\mathbf{T_k = 235 \times (0.75)^k}[/tex]

Hence, the expression for the k-th bounce is: [tex]\mathbf{T_k = 235 \times (0.75)^k}[/tex]

(b) The height after bouncing 6 times

This means that k = 6.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{T_k = 235 \times (0.75)^k}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{T_6 = 235 \times (0.75)^6}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{T_6 = 41.82}[/tex]

Hence, the height after the 6th bounce is 41.82 ft

(c) The total distance after the 12th bounce

First, we calculate the total height after the 12th bounce using:

[tex]\mathbf{S_k = \frac{a(1 - r^k)}{1 - r}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{S_k = \frac{235 \times (1 - 0.75^{12})}{1 - 0.75}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{S_k = \frac{235 \times (0.968)}{0.25}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{S_k = 909.92}[/tex]

So, the total distance is:

[tex]\mathbf{Distance = 2 \times S_k - a}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Distance = 2 \times 909.92 - 235}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Distance = 1584.84}[/tex]

Hence, the total distance after the 12th bounce is 1584.84ft.

(2) Cell division

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{r = 2/2hr}[/tex] --- rate

[tex]\mathbf{a = 120}[/tex] --- initial number of cells

[tex]\mathbf{t = 18}[/tex] --- number of 2 hours is a day and a half

So, the number of bacteria is:

[tex]\mathbf{T_t = ar^t}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{T_t = 120 \times 2^{18}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{T_t = 31457280}[/tex]

Hence, there will be 31457280 bacteria after a day and a half.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that when human resource managers are randomly​ selected, ​41% say job applicants should follow up within two weeks. If 8 human resource managers are randomly​ selected, find the probability that at least 4 of them say job applicants should follow up within two weeks.

Answers

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.4295 = 42.95% probability that at least 4 of them say job applicants should follow up within two weeks.

For each manager, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they say job applicants should follow up within two weeks, or they do not say it. The opinion of a manager is independent of any other manager, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution  

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]  

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

The parameters are:

n is the number of trials.x is the number of successes.p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

41% say job applicants should follow up within two weeks, thus [tex]p = 0.41[/tex]8 managers are selected, thus [tex]n = 8[/tex].

The probability that at least 4 of them say job applicants should follow up within two weeks is [tex]P(X \geq 4)[/tex], which is given by:

[tex]P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4)[/tex]

In which:

[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)[/tex]

Then:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{8,0}.(0.41)^{0}.(0.59)^{8} = 0.0147[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{8,1}.(0.41)^{1}.(0.59)^{7} = 0.0816[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{8,2}.(0.41)^{2}.(0.59)^{6} = 0.1985[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{8,3}.(0.41)^{3}.(0.59)^{5} = 0.2759[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0147 + 0.0816 + 0.1985 + 0.2759 = 0.5707[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4) = 1 - 0.5705 = 0.4295[/tex]

0.4295 = 42.95% probability that at least 4 of them say job applicants should follow up within two weeks.

Answer:

Cost of each pendant = $2.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we're given information regarding the total cost of beads, $13.20, and the total cost of beads and pendants for all 4 necklaces, $24.40:

Let b = beads

p = pendants

C = total cost of beads and pendants for all 4 necklaces.

b + p = C

$13.20 + p  = $24.40

$13.20 - $13.20 + p  = $24.40 - $13.20

p = $11.20 (This represents the total cost of 4 pendants).

To find out the cost of each pendant, divide $11.20 by 4:

$11.20 ÷ 4 = $2.80

Therefore, the cost of each pendant is $2.80.

G=Z6×Z2G=Z6×Z2 will do (where ZnZn denotes the cyclic group of order nn). As a direct product of cyclic (so abelian) groups, GG is again abelian. Given any element (x,y)∈G(x,y)∈G, the order of (x,y)(x,y) will be the least common multiple of the orders of x,y.x,y.  

The order of xx must divide 66 and the order of yy must divide 2,2, so the order of (x,y)(x,y) is at most lcm(6,2)=6.lcm⁡(6,2)=6. But |G|=|Z6|⋅|Z2|=6⋅2=12.|G|=|Z6|⋅|Z2|=6⋅2=12. Since no element of GG has order 12,12, then GG is not cyclic.
