question 45

Multiple Choice

Write the sum without sigma notation and evaluate it.
- $$\sum _ { k = 1 } ^ { 4 } 2 \sin \frac { \pi } { k }$$

• A) \(2 \sin \pi + 2 \sin \frac { \pi } { 2 } + 2 \sin \frac { \pi } { 3 } + 2 \sin \frac { \pi } { 4 } = 6 + \sqrt { 2 }\)
• B) \(2 \sin \pi + 2 \sin \frac { \pi } { 4 } = \sqrt { 2 }\)
• C) \(2 \sin \pi + 2 \sin \frac { \pi } { 2 } + 2 \sin \frac { \pi } { 3 } + 2 \sin \frac { \pi } { 4 } = 2 + \sqrt { 3 } + \sqrt { 2 }\)
• D) \(2 \sin \pi + 2 \sin \frac { \pi } { 2 } + 2 \sin \frac { \pi } { 3 } + 2 \sin \frac { \pi } { 4 } = 1 + \frac { \sqrt { 3 } + \sqrt { 2 } } { 2 }\)

A measure of the likelihood that a certain event will occur, expressed as a number between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates impossibility and 1 indicates certainty.

Sales

The exchange of a commodity for money; the action of selling something.

Poisson Approximation

A statistical technique used to estimate the probability of a given number of events happening in a fixed interval of time or space, assuming these events occur with a known constant mean rate and independently of the time since the last event.
