1) A family consisting of three persons—A, B, and C—goes to a medical clinic that always has a doctor at each of stations 1, 2,

and 3. During a certain week, each member of the family visits the clinic once and is assigned at random to a station. The experiment consists of recording the station number for each member. Suppose that any incoming individual is equally likely to be assigned to any of the three stations irrespective of where other individuals have been assigned. What is the probability that
(a) All three family members are assigned to the same station? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
(b) At most two family members are assigned to the same station? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
(c) Every family member is assigned to a different station? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us record the station number 1, 2 or 3 for each family member A, B or C.

I am attaching a table containing total outcomes. Outcomes are presented along rows while the assigned station to each member is written along columns. For ease of understanding, 1 3 2 in the table should be interpreted as family member A being assigned to station 1, member B to station 3 and member C to station number 2, respectively.

From table it is clear that the total outcomes possible are 27.

We know that, probability can be defined as,

PROBABITILY = \frac{NUMBER\;OF\;DESIRED\;OUTCOMES}{TOTAL\;NUMBER\;OF\;OUTCOMES}

a) All Members Assigned to the Same Station.

Cases for all members being assigned to same station are as follows:

[1 1 1], [2 2 2], [3 3 3] (outcome number 1, 14 and 27 in the table).

Therefore,

PROBABILITY\;(Case\;a) = \frac{3}{27}\\\\PROBABILITY\;(Case\;a) = 0.111

b) At Most Two Members Assigned to the Same Station.

It means that maximum of 2 members can have the same station. Cases for this situation are as follows:

[1 1 2], [1 1 3], [1 2 1], [1 2 2], [1 3 1], [1 3 3], [2 1 1], [2 1 2], [2 2 1], [2 2 3], [2 3 2],

[2 3 3], [3 1 1], [3 1 3], [3 2 2], [3 2 3], [3 3 1], [3 3 2]

(outcome number 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21, 23, 24, 25 and 26 in the table).

Therefore,

PROBABILITY\;(Case\;b) = \frac{18}{27}\\\\PROBABILITY\;(Case\;b) = 0.666

c) All Members Assigned to a Different Station.

For this scenario, we have the following results:

[1 2 3], [1 3 2], [2 1 3], [2 3 1], [3 1 2], [3 2 1] (outcome number 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 22 in the table).

Therefore,

PROBABILITY\;(Case\;c) = \frac{6}{27}\\\\PROBABILITY\;(Case\;c) = 0.222

If ABC =30o , what is the measure of its complement CBD
Fantom [35]

It would be 60 degrees because compliment means 90 degrees. In order to find m<CBD, you would need to subtract 30 degrees from 90 degrees which would equal 60 degrees. 90-30=60

One of the legs of a right triangle measures 6 cm and its hypotenuse measures 8 cm. Find the measure of the other leg. If necess
Vika [28.1K]
Well, this is a Pythagorean theorem problem. A^2 + B^2 = C^2, where C^2 is equal to the hypotenuse. 8 squared equals 64, so c^2 = 64 cm. The other leg can be represented by A^2, which is 36 cm. 36 + ? = 64. 64 - 36 = 28, so B^2 equals 28. Now, to find the measurement of the other leg, we need the square root of 28. The square root of 28 is 5.3 cm.

Your final answer is 5.3 cm.
