The Bernsteins, Hendersons, and Smiths each have five children. If the 15 children of these three families camp out in five diff

erent tents, where each tent holds three children, and the 15 children are randomly assigned to the five tents, what is the probability that every family has at least two of its children in the same tent?

Answer:

Probability=1-\frac{(5!)^{3} }{15!}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve this question with the help of complementary method. Observe the statement "Probability that every family has at least two of its children in the same tent". The complementary of this statement will be every family does not have atleast two of its children in the same tent ie. Each child of a family is not in the same tent as one from the same family.

P(A)=1-P(A)^{c}

Therefore, we can get P(A) if we just take out the value of P(A)^{c}

Probability=\frac{TotalNo.OfFavourableOutcomes}{TotalNo.ofOutcomes}

Imagine that we have 15 locations to fill and 15 people for it, so the total no. of cases= 15!

Bernstein's children can be arranged in 5 different tents in 5! ways.

Similarly Henderson's and Smith's children can be arranged in 5 different tents in 5! ways only.

Therefore, P(A)^{c}= \frac{(5!)^{3} }{15!}

P(A)=1- \frac{(5!)^{3} }{15!}

The length of the red line segment is 6, and the length of the blue line segment is 4. how long is the major axis of the ellipse
juin [17]

An ellipse is divided into two axes, the longer axis is the major axis and the shorter axis is the minor axis. The length of the major axis of an ellipse is equal to the sum of two distance: the distance between any point on the ellipse and one on focus and the distance between the same point and the other focus. The focus is the point that helps define an ellipse and every ellipse has two foci. These two distance are also called the red line segment and blue line segment. Given 6 for red line segment and 4 for blue line segment therefore, the length of the major axis of the ellipse is 10.

To the nearest​ dollar, the average tuition at a public four−year college was $3088 in 1997 and $3292 in 2000. ​Find, to the nea
Delicious77 [7]

the fees in 1997 was $3088

fees in 2000 was $3292

average rate of increase= (3292-3088)/(2000-1997) = 204/3=68

so average rate of increase is $68 per year

the length of a rectangle is 5 cm less than 3 time its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 54 cm, find the length and wi
castortr0y [4]

length = 3x - 5 \\ width \:  = x \\ p = 2l + 2w \\ 54 = 2(3x - 5) + 2x \\ 54 = 6x - 10 + 2x \\ 54 = 8x - 10 \\ 64 = 8x \\ x = 8 = width \\ 3(8) - 5 = 24 - 5 = 19 \\ length = 19
