We have two right triangles and three different rectangles.

The formula of an area of a right triangle:

$A_T=\dfrac{1}{2}l_1l_2$

l₁, l₂ - legs

We have l₁ = 20cm and l₂ = 21cm. Substitute:

$A_T=\dfrac{1}{2}(20)(21)=(10)(21)=210\ cm^2$

The formula of an area of a rectangle:

$A_R=lw$

l - length

w - width

We have:

rectangle #1: l = 22cm, w = 29cm

$A_{R1}=(22)(29)=638\ cm^2$

rectangle #2: l = 22cm, w = 21cm

$A_{R2}=(22)(21)=462\ cm^2$

rectangle #3: l = 22cm, w = 20cm

$A_{R3}=(22)(20)=440\ cm^2$

The total Surface Area of the triangular prism:

$S.A.=2A_T+A_{R1}+A_{R2}+A_{R3}\\\\S.A.=2\cdot210+638+462+440=1960\ cm^2$

A computer program contains one error. In order to find the error, we split the program into 6 blocks and test two of them, sele

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

There are $\dbinom62$ ways of selecting two of the six blocks at random. The probability that one of them contains an error is

$\dfrac{\dbinom11\dbinom51}{\dbinom62}=\dfrac5{15}=\dfrac13$

So $X$ has probability mass function

$f_X(x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac13&\text{for }x=1\\\\\dfrac23&\text{for }x=0\end{cases}$

These are the only two cases since there is only one error known to exist in the code; any two blocks of code chosen at random must either contain the error or not.

The expected value of finding an error is then

$\displaystyle\sum_{x=0}^1xf_X(x)=0\times\dfrac23+1\times\dfrac13=\dfrac13$
