If a couple were planning to have three​ children, the sample space summarizing the gender outcomes would​ be: bbb,​ bbg, bgb,​

bgg, gbb,​ gbg, ggb, ggg.
a. construct a similar sample space for the possible weightweight outcomes​ (using o for overweight and u for underweighto for overweight and u for underweight​) of two children.
b. assuming that the outcomes listed in part​ (a) were equally​ likely, find the probability of getting two underweightunderweight children.
c. find the probability of getting exactly one overweightoverweight

There are two choices for each child: overweight (o) or underweight (u). So if the first child is o the next can be o or u. If the first is u the second can be o or u. This gives four possibilities. Here the first child is the letter noted first and the second is the one listed second:
OO
OU
UO
UU

There are 4 outcomes and if each is equally likely then the probability of each is 1/4. Thus the probability of UU is 1/4

The probability of one underweight and one over weight is 1/2 because in two of the outcomes listed above there is one O and one U (namely OU and UO). Since there are 4 outcomes the probability is 2/4 = 1/2

A cylinder shaped can needs to be constructed to hold 600 cubic centimeters of soup. The material for the sides of the can costs
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

the dimensions that minimize the cost of the cylinder are R= 3.85 cm and L=12.88 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

since the volume of a cylinder is

V= π*R²*L → L =V/ (π*R²)

the cost function is

Cost = cost of side material * side area  + cost of top and bottom material * top and bottom area

C = a* 2*π*R*L + b* 2*π*R²

replacing the value of L

C = a* 2*π*R* V/ (π*R²) + b* 2*π*R²  = a* 2*V/R + b* 2*π*R²

then the optimal radius for minimum cost can be found when the derivative of the cost with respect to the radius equals 0 , then

dC/dR = -2*a*V/R² + 4*π*b*R = 0

4*π*b*R = 2*a*V/R²

R³ = a*V/(2*π*b)

R=  ∛( a*V/(2*π*b))

replacing values

R=  ∛( a*V/(2*π*b)) = ∛(0.03$/cm² * 600 cm³ /(2*π* 0.05$/cm²) )= 3.85 cm

then

L =V/ (π*R²) = 600 cm³/(π*(3.85 cm)²) = 12.88 cm

therefore the dimensions that minimize the cost of the cylinder are R= 3.85 cm and L=12.88 cm
