Shawn and Robert are comparing the scout patches they've earned. Shawn has a total of 8 patches, 5 of which are explorer patches. Robert has a total of 6 patches, 3 of which are explorer patches. Do Shawn and Robert have the same ratio of explorer patches to total patches?

Write the equation in logarithmic form m^x=n

Prism m and pyramid n have the same base area and the same height. cylinder p and prism q have the same height and the same base perimeter. cone z has the same base area as cylinder y, but its height is three times the height of cylinder y. the figures and have the same volume.

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.
