I have a list of five numbers, where the first number is 1 and the fifth number is 5. Each of the other numbers is equal to one more than the average of its two neighbors. What is the sum of all five numbers in the list?

1. The 100 prisoner experiment: 100 prisoners are about to be executed (you can use paper stick figures to model 100 prisoners, or you can do about 10), but the warden has agreed to allow all prisoners to be commuted to a 6-month sentence if they can pass one game. The game states that 100 pieces of paper with each of the prisoner's numbers are to be randomly shuffled into boxes that have random prisoner's numbers (where the number on the paper does not match the number on the boxes.) Each prisoner is allowed to open 50 boxes to find their number such that they have a [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] chance of finding their number. If you find your number, you are cleared to another room to wait. If you don't, then you've messed up huge. If even one prisoner does not find their number, all the prisoners die. If all of the prisoners find their numbers, they all get 6-month sentences instead. The chance of all the prisoners randomly finding their numbers is [tex](\frac{1}{2})^{100}[/tex], which is about a 0.0000000000000000000000000000008% chance. 30 zeros after the decimal placement. For reference, two people have a better chance of picking up the same grain of sand from any of the beaches in the world than finding their numbers randomly.

The Vickrey Auction can be modeled into an experiment by testing people's psychological thinking. You can do this with any of your friends. In a Vickrey auction, you put your bids into a closed letter. For an item, the highest bidder wins the auction, but does not pay what he or she put their bid under in the auction, but rather pays what the second bidder had bidded. It teaches people to be more honest, because if you bid the highest and win, you pay the second-highest bidder's payment, which could also be almost equally as high and could cost you a fortune for an undervalued item.

Another great experiment you can do is to measure the different unsynchronizations of analog clocks that are not close together. Scientists have measured atomic clocks that are just a millimeter apart that start ticking in different measures.

2. I select the 100-prisoner experiment.

3. A curved graph like -x^2 would fit perfectly.

4. A quadratic function would fit my experiment the best. The best graph to use would be [tex]y = -x^2[/tex]. An equation with a large curve would be the best for this type of experiment to graph success and failure. More than three quarters of my graph wouls be full of failure and maybe a little more than 10% would be full of success if repeated over 100,000 times. I am not too sure though.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line is y = 2/3x + 4

The points on the line are given as:

(zero, four) and (negative six, zero).

Rewrite the points properly as

(0, 4) and (-6, 0)

The slope of the line is calculated using:

m =(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Substitute the known values in the above equation

m = (0 - 4)/(-6 - 0)

Evaluate

m = 2/3

The equation of the line is then calculated as:

y = mx + b

This gives

y = 2/3x + b

So, we have:

4 = 2/3 * 0 + b

Evaluate

b = 4

Substitute b = 4 in y = 2/3x + b

y = 2/3x + 4

Hence, the equation of the line is y = 2/3x + 4

The power series for given function [tex]g(x)=\frac{4x}{(x-1)(x+3)}[/tex] is [tex]g(x)=\sum{_{n=0}^\infty}~x^n(-1+(-\frac{x}{3} )^n)[/tex]

For given question,

We have been given a function g(x) = 4x / (x² + 2x - 3)

We need to find a power series for the function, centered at c, for c = 0.

First we factorize the denominator of function g(x), we have:

[tex]\Rightarrow g(x)=\frac{4x}{(x-1)(x+3)}[/tex]

We can write g(x) as,

[tex]\Rightarrow g(x)=\frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{3}{x+3}\\\\\Rightarrow g(x)=\frac{-1}{1-x}+\frac{1}{1+\frac{x}{3} }\\\\\Rightarrow g(x)=\frac{-1}{1-x}+\frac{1}{1-(-\frac{x}{3} )}\\[/tex]

We know that, [tex]\frac{1}{1-x}=\sum{_{n=0}^\infty}~{x^n}[/tex] if |x| < 1

and [tex]\frac{1}{1-(-\frac{x}{3} )}=\sum{_{n=0}^\infty}~x^n(-\frac{x}{3} )^n[/tex]  if [tex]|\frac{x}{6}| < 1[/tex]

tried my best to show the steps!! all i did was isolate to find the missing widths attached to the respective lengths (divided surface area by width) and then multiply both sides by two and add them together to find the perimeter.

The dimensions of the garden that would require the least amount of fencing are 6 ft in length and 6 ft in width.

The dimensions are the sides of a geometric shape.

The lengths of the three gardens are given as 6 ft, 9 ft, and 12 ft respectively.

If the area of the garden is 36 feet squared, then the widths for the three lengths will be as follows:

The width of the garden with a length of 6 ft [tex]= \dfrac{36}{6} = 6\ ft[/tex]

The width of the garden with a length of 9 ft [tex]= \dfrac{36}{9} = 4\ ft[/tex]

The width of the garden with a length of 6 ft [tex]= \dfrac{36}{12} = 3\ ft[/tex]

The parameters are calculated as:

The parameter of the garden with dimensions (6 ft, 6 ft) = 2(6 + 6) = 24 ft

The parameter of the garden with dimensions (9 ft, 4 ft) = 2(9 + 4) = 26 ft

The parameter of the garden with dimensions (12 ft, 3 ft) = 2(12 + 3) = 30 ft

The least of the parameter is of the garden with dimensions (6 ft, 6 ft).

Answer:

Height = 19mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a regular polygon =  (A * P) / 2 where A = side / (2 * Tan (π / N)) where, N = Number of sides, A = Apothem,  P = Perimeter.

Here A = 5, P = 5*12 = 60 so

Area  of the base  = (5 * 60) / 2 = 150 mm^2.

Volume = area base * height so

Height = volume / area of base

            = 2850 / 150

            = 19 mm.

The height of the prism is h = 19 mm

A three-dimensional solid object called a prism has two identical ends. It consists of equal cross-sections, flat faces, and identical bases. Without bases, the prism's faces are parallelograms or rectangles.

The volume of a prism is the product of its base area and height

Volume of Prism = B x h

where B = base area of prism

h = height of prism

Given data ,

A regular pentagonal prism has a volume of 2,850 millimeters³

The pentagonal base has side edge labeled 12 millimeters.

And , Apothem from center to a base edge is labeled 5 millimeters

Area of a regular polygon =  (A x P) / 2

where A = side / (2 * Tan (π / N))

and , N = Number of sides, A = Apothem,  P = Perimeter

h = 2850 / 150

On simplifying , we get

h = 19 mm

The required minimum sample size to construct a 95% confidence level for the population mean is 267.

In this question,

In the probability and statistics theory, the confidence interval of the population parameter is the estimated range of values we are sure with a certainty that our parameter will lie within, the range being calculated from the sample obtained. The smaller is the margin of error, the more confidence we have in our results.

The population standard deviation, σ = 25

Confidence level for the population mean = 95%

Margin of error = ±3

Let n be the sample size of the population

The z-score for the confidence level of 95% for the population mean is 1.96.

The formula of margin of error is

[tex]E=\frac{z \sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

Now, the sample size of the population can be calculated as

[tex]n=(\frac{z\sigma}{E} )^{2}[/tex]

On substituting the above values,

⇒ [tex]n=(\frac{(1.96)(25)}{3} )^{2}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]n=(\frac{49}{3}) ^{2}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]n=(16.33)^{2}[/tex]

We assume the square-shaped, baseball diamond to be ABCD with A = (0, 64), B = (64, 0), C = (0, -64), and D = (-64, 0).

The side of the square can be computed using the distance formula,

D = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²), when the endpoints of a line are (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂).

Thus, the side of the square,

a = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²),

or, a = √((64 - 0)² + (0 - 64)²) {Considering A(0,64) and B(64, 0) as the endpoints,

or, a = √(64² + (-64)²),

or, a = √(4096 + 4096),

or, a = 64√2 units.

Now, the area of the square can be calculated using the formula, A = a², where A is the area and a is the side of the square.

Thus, the area of the square = (64√2)² = 4096*2 = 8192 sq. units.
