Mrs Atkins is going to choose two students from her class to take part in a competition.
Schach [20]

Given:

Total number of girls in her class = 16

Total number of boys in her class = 14

To find:

The number of different ways of choosing one girl and one boy.

Solution:

We have,

Total number of girls = 16

Total number of boys = 14

So,

Total number of ways to select one girl from 16 girls = 16

Total number of ways to select one boy from 14 boys = 14

Now, number of different ways of choosing one girl and one boy is

16\times 14=224

Therefore, the required number of different ways is 224.

A random sample of 50 units is drawn from a production process every half hour. the true fraction of nonconforming products manu

solution:

The probability mass function for binomial distribution is,

 

Where,

X=0,1,2,3,…..; q=1-p

find the probability that (p∧ ≤ 0.06) , substitute the values of sample units (n) , and the probability of nonconformities (p) in the probability mass function of binomial distribution.

Consider x   to be the number of non-conformities. It follows a binomial distribution with n   being 50 and p  being 0.03. That is,

binomial (50,0.02)

Also, the estimate of the true probability is,

p∧  = x/50

The probability mass function for binomial distribution is,

 

Where,

X=0,1,2,3,…..; q=1-p

The calculation is obtained as

P(p^ ≤ 0.06) = p(x/20 ≤ 0.06)

         = 50cx ₓ (0.03)x ₓ (1-0.03)50-x  

=    (50c0 ₓ (0.03)0 ₓ (1-0.03)50-0 + 50c1(0.03)1 ₓ (1-0.03)50-1 + 50c2 ₓ (0.03)2 ₓ (1-0.03)50-2 +50c3 ₓ      (0.03)3 ₓ (1- 0.03)50-3 )

=(   ₓ (0.03)0 ₓ (1-0.03)50-0 +  ₓ (0.03)1 ₓ (1-0.03)50-1 +   ₓ (0.03)2 ₓ (1-0.03)50-2   ₓ (0.03)3 ₓ (1-0.03)50-3 )

In a game of cornhole, Sasha tossed a bean bag and it landed at the edge of the hole. The hole can be represented by the equatio
Nitella [24]

In the game of cornhole, when Sasha tossed a bean bag to the edge of the hole, in which the equations of the hole and bean bag's path are x² + y² = 5 and y = 0.5x² + 1.5x - 4, respectively, she could have tossed her bean bag to the points (1, -2) or (2, 1).              

 

To find the points in which she could have tossed her bean bag, we need to intersect the two equations of the function as follows.

<u>The equation for the hole</u>

x^{2} + y^{2} = 5   (1)

<u>The equation for the path of the bean bag</u>

y = 0.5x^{2} + 1.5x - 4    (2)

By entering equation (2) into (1) we have:  

x^{2} + (0.5x^{2} + 1.5x - 4)^{2} = 5

x^{2} + 0.25x^{4} + 1.5x^{3} - 4x^{2} + 2.25x^{2} - 12x + 16 = 5    

0.25x^{4} + 1.5x^{3} - 0.75x^{2} - 12x + 11 = 0

By solving for <em>x</em>, we have:

x₁ = 1

x₂ = 2

Now, for <em>y</em> we have (eq 2):

  • <u>x₁ = 1</u>    

y_{1} = 0.5(1)^{2} + 1.5(1) - 4 = -2

  • <u>x₂ = 2</u>

y_{2} = 0.5(2)^{2} + 1.5(2) - 4 = 1                                              

Therefore, the points are (1, -2) or (2, 1).

I hope it helps you!
