7 girls audition for 12 roles in a school play. What is the probability that at least 2 of the girls audition for the same part?

Sophie [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is one minus the probability that all the girls audition for different roles. The total number of ways of assigning roles to the girls is 12^7, because to each of the 7 girls, you have a choice of 12 roles.

Then if each girl is to receive a different role, then there are 12!/5! possibilities for that. If you start assigning roles to the girls, then for the first girl, there are 12 choices, but for the next you have to choose one of the 11 different ones, so 11 for the next, and then one of the 10 remaining for the next etc. etc., and this is 12*11*10*...*6 = 12!/(12-7)! =12!/5!

The probability that a random assignment of one of the 12^7 roles would happen to be one of the 12!/5! roles where each girl has a different role, is

(12!/5!)/12^7 = 12!/(12^7 5!)

Then the probability that two or more girls addition for the same part is the probability that not all the girls are assigned different roles, this is thus:

1 - 12!/(12^7 5!)

What are the correct answers?
DochEvi [55]

Step-by-step Answer:

Situations with dot-products.

dot-product of vectors A<xa,ya>, B<xb,yb>

is defined as A.B=xa*xb + ya+yb

Note that the result is a scalar even though A and B are both vectors.

Q1 dot product is positive

Q2 dot product is negative

The dot product is also equal to the length of the projection of the unit vector of one onto the other, multiplied by the magnitudes.  This implies that the sign will be positive if the angle between the vectors is acute, and negative if the angle between them is obtuse.  That makes the first two proposed answers (A, B) correct.

Q3 dot product equals 0

Since the projection of any vector onto another perpendicular to it is zero, so the dot product of two perpendicular vectors always equal zero.  That makes the third proposed answer (E) correct.

Q4 dot product equals the product of the vectors' magnitudes.

The earlier statement

"The dot product is also equal to the length of the projection of the unit vector of one onto the other, multiplied by the magnitudes."

makes the fourth statement true if the unit vector projected onto the other remains a unit vector, i.e. when the two vectors are parallel (D)

Q5 dot product equals opposite of the product of the vectors.

To have the dot product's absolute value equal the product of the magnitudes, the vectors must be parallel.  If the dot product is positive, then the vectors are parallel and pointing in the same direction, as in Q4.

If the dot product is negative, meaning that is the opposite of the product of the magnitudes (themselves are always positive or zero), then the vectors are parallel, but in the opposing directions.

There is no correct answer for this case, which is definitely NOT "not possible".  The closest one is (D) vectors are parallel, but answer is incomplete.

Q6 dot product is greater than the product of the vectors' magnitudes.

I do not see a possible case for this to happen.

The perimeter of Dawna's new flat screen television is 112 inches. The ratio of its length to width is 4:3. Wire and solve an al
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Hey there,
Length = 4x
Width = 3x
Perimeter = 112 inches
4x + 3x + 4x + 3x = 112 inches
14x = 112 inches
x = 112 inches / 14
   = 8 inches
Length = 8 inches x 4
            = 32 inches
Width = 8 inches x 3
          = 24 inches

 Hope this helps :))

College Calculus - hyperbolic functions (see attachment)
morpeh [17]

Answer:

g(x) = sinh^-1 ( ln(7x^6 +3) / sqrt( 8+cot( x^( 3+x))))

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the fundamental theorem of calculus

Taking the derivative of the integral gives back the function

Since the lower limit is a constant when we take the derivative it is zero

d/dx \int\limits^x_4 {g(t)} \, dt  = g(x)

g(t) = sinh^-1 ( ln(7t^6 +3) / sqrt( 8+cot( t^( 3+t))))

Replacing t with x

g(x) = sinh^-1 ( ln(7x^6 +3) / sqrt( 8+cot( x^( 3+x))))
