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!}

Write the equation for a parabola with a focus at (-8, -1) and a directrix at y = − 4.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

y = 1/6 x^2 + 8/3 x + 49/6

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a parabola which opens upwards.

The distance of a point (x, y)  from the focus is

√[(x -  -8)^2  + (y - -1)^2] and

the distance of the point from the line y = -4

= y - -4

These distances are equal for a parabola so:

√[(x -  -8)^2  + (y - -1)^2] = y + 4

Squaring both sides:

(x + 8)^2 + (y + 1)^2  = (y + 4)^2

x^2 + 16x + 64 + y^2 + 2y + 1 = y^2 + 8y + 16

x^2 + 16x + 64 + 1 - 16 = 8y - 2y

6y = x^2 + 16x + 49

y = 1/6 x^2 + 8/3 x + 49/6 is the equation of the parabola.

One number is 8 more than another number, and their sum is 20. Find the numbers.
melomori [17]

Answer:

First number=6

Second number=14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x

So the second number is x+8

So the sum of the two is

X+x+8=20

2x+8=20

2x=20-8

2x=12

X=12/2

=6

The second number will x+8

So 6+8=14

First number=6

Second number=14
