Car A Car B

Gas cost per month $21.429 $31.579

insurance per month $125 $83.333

maintenance per month $25 $41.667

Total cost per month $171.429 $156.579

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to drive 20 mile round trip, for five days a week.

that means total number of days in a month we have to drive=5×4=20 days

hence total distance we have to drive in a moth=20×20 miles=400 miles.

Cost of gasoline=$ 1.50 per gallon.

now for Car A:

A gets 28 miles per gallon.

⇒ A has to pay $1.50 for 28 miles

that means the amount he has to pay for 1 mile=$ $\dfrac{1.50}{28}$

The amount he has to pay for 400 miles=$ $\dfrac{1.50\times 400}{28}$

=$21.429

he has to pay $300 a year in maintenance cost.

A has to pay $25 per month in maintenance.

also he has to pay $1500 a year for insurance

i.e. A has to pay $125 per month for insurance.

Total cost per month=$ (21.429+25+125)

=$171.429

for Car B:

B gets 19 miles per gallon.

⇒ B has to pay $1.50 for 19 miles.

that means the amount he has to pay for 1 mile=$ $\dfrac{1.50}{19}$

The amount he has to pay for 400 miles=$ $\dfrac{1.50\times 400}{19}$

=31.579

he has to pay $500 a year in maintenance cost.

A has to pay $41.667 per month in maintenance.

also he has to pay $1000 a year for insurance

i.e. A has to pay $83.333 per month for insurance.

Total cost per month=$ (31.579+41.667+83.333)

=$156.579

Aprisoner is trapped in a cell containing three doors. the first door leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after two days of travel. the second leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after three days of travel. the third door leads immediately to freedom. (a) assuming that the prisoner will always select doors 1, 2 and 3 with probabili- ties 0.5,0.3,0.2 (respectively), what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (b) assuming that the prisoner is always equally likely to choose among those doors that he has not used, what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (in this version, if the prisoner initially tries door 1, for example, then when he returns to the cell, he will now select only from doors 2 and 3.) (c) for parts (a) and (b), find the variance of the number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom. hint for part (b): define ni to be the number of additional days the prisoner spends after initially choosing door i and returning to his cell.
