The following parts refer to the letters: LAMEFIREALARM. Recall that "word" means distinguishable letter arrangements. (a) How m

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "LAMEFIREALARM" word consists of

2L , 2M, 2E , 2R , 3A , F and I

no of words with the above letters such that M's are not together

=Total No of words- M's are together

Total no of words $=\frac{13!}{4\times 2!\times 3!}=64,864,800$

When M's are together . considering 2 M's as one

therefore there are $\frac{12!}{3\times 2!\times 3!}=9,979,200$

No of ways $=\frac{13!}{4\times 2!\times 3!}-\frac{12!}{3\times 2!\times 3!}=54,885,600$

(b)No of ways such that M's are separated by at least 2 letters

at least 2 letter means 2 letter, 3 letter ......11 letters

So we have to subtract no of ways where there are 1 letter in between M's from total no of ways where 2 M's are not next to each other

No of ways in which there is 1 letter between 2 M's

This can be done by considering 11 cases

In first case Place first M in Starting Position and 2 M on third place

Second case place First M in 2 nd Position and second M on 4 th place

Similarly For 11th case

Place first M in 11th place and second M on 13th place

Total ways

$=\frac{11\times 11!}{3!\times 2!\times 2!\times 2!}$

So , the total number of arrangements of the letters of the word LAMEFIREALARM where the two M's are separated by atleast two letters is

$=\frac{13!}{4\times 2!\times 3!}-\frac{12!}{3\times 2!\times 3!}-\frac{11\times 11!}{3!\times 2!\times 2!\times 2!}$

$=45738000$

A bank sampled its customers to determine the proportion of customers who use their debit card at least once each month. A sampl

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

(0.084,0.396)

Step-by-step explanation:

The 99% confidence interval for the proportion of customers who use debit card monthly can be constructed as

$p-z_{\frac{\alpha }{2}} \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} }$

$p=\frac{x}{n}$

$p=\frac{12}{50}$

$p=0.24$

$q=1-p=1-0.24=0.76$

$\frac{\alpha }{2} =\frac{\0.01 }{2}=0.005$

$p-z_{\frac{\alpha }{2}} \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} }$

$0.24-z_{0.005} \sqrt{\frac{0.24*0.76}{50} }$

$0.24-2.58(0.0604)$

$0.24-0.155832$

By rounding to three decimal places we get,

$0.084$

The 99% confidence interval for the proportion of customers who use debit card monthly is (0.084,0.396).
