Let width = w
Let length = l
Let area = A
3w+2l=1200
2l=1200-3w
l=1200-3/2
A=w*l
A=w*(1200-3w)/2
A=600w-(3/2)*w^2
If I set A=0 to find the roots, the maximum will be at wmax=-b/2a which is exactly 1/2 way between the roots-(3/2)*w^2+600w=0
-b=-600
2a=-3
-b/2a=-600/-3
-600/-3=200
w=200
And, since 3w+2l=1200
3*200+2l=1200
2l = 600
l = 300
The dimensions of the largest enclosure willbe when width = 200 ft and length = 300 ft
check answer:
3w+2l=1200
3*200+2*300=1200
600+600=1200
1200=1200
and A=w*l
A=200*300
A=60000 ft2
To see if this is max area change  w and l slightly but still make 3w+2l=1200 true, like
w=200.1
l=299.85
A=299.85*200.1
A=59999.985

The probability of winning a certain lottery is 1/77076 for people who play 908 times find the mean number of wins
Alex73 [517]

The mean is 0.0118 approximately. So option C is correct

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that , The probability of winning a certain lottery is \frac{1}{77076} for people who play 908 times

We have to find the mean number of wins

\text { The probability of winning a lottery }=\frac{1}{77076}

Assume that a procedure yields a binomial distribution with a trial repeated n times.

Use the binomial probability formula to find the probability of x successes given the probability p of success on a single trial.

n=908, \text { probability } \mathrm{p}=\frac{1}{77076}

\text { Then, binomial mean }=n \times p

\begin{array}{l}{\mu=908 \times \frac{1}{77076}} \\\\ {\mu=\frac{908}{77076}} \\\\ {\mu=0.01178}\end{array}

Hence, the mean is 0.0118 approximately. So option C is correct.
