A college library has five copies of a certain text on reserve. Three copies (1, 2, and 3) are first printings, and the remainin

g two (4, and 5) are second printings. A student examines these books in random order, stopping only when a second printing has been selected. One possible outcome is 4, and another is 214. (a) List the outcomes in S. (b) Let A denote the event that exactly one book must be examined. What outcomes are in A

Answer:

S = { (4), (5), (1,4), (1,5), (2,4), (2,5), (3,4), (3,5), (1,2,3,4), (1,2,3,5), (2,1,3,4) (2,1,3,5), (3,1,2,4), (3,1,2,5) }

A ={(4), (5)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Among the three copies, (1,2,3) are the first printings, and (4,5) are the second printings.

A student who examines these books in random order stops when a second printing has been selected.

Thus, we can compute the sample space associated with these experiments as:

S = { (4), (5), (1,4), (1,5), (2,4), (2,5), (3,4), (3,5), (1,2,3,4), (1,2,3,5), (2,1,3,4) (2,1,3,5), (3,1,2,4), (3,1,2,5) }

Suppose A represents the event that we must examine exactly one book.

Then the outcomes of A are:

A ={(4), (5)}

Find the equation of the straight line passing through the point (3,5)
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x + 2

Slope m = 3

slope of the line perpendicular to this line = -3

Point (3,5)

y- y1 = m(x-x1)

y - 5 = -3(x-3)

y - 5 = -3*x-3 * -3

y - 5 = -3x + 9

     y = -3x + 9 +5

     y = -3x + 14

Find all of the critical points of p (t). p (t) = t 2 + 5t + 6.
svp [43]

Please, use " ^ " to denote exponentiation: p(t) = t^2 + 5t + 6.

To find the critical points, differentiate p(t) with respect to t, set the result = to 0, and then solve the resulting equation for t:

p '(t) = 2t + 5 = 0

Solving for t: 2t = -5, and so t = -5/2. (-5/2, p(-5/2)) is the critical point. That evaluates to (-5/2, -0.25). This happens to be the vertex of a parabola that opens up.

What is the relationship among proportional relationships lines, rates of change, and slope?
sdas [7]
<span><span>
It introduces the relationship between two variables and is called correlation. Proportionality or variation is state of relationship or correlation between two variables It has two types: </span>direct variation or proportion which states both variables are positively correlation. It is when both the variables increase or decrease together. On the contrary, indirect variation or proportion indicates negative relationship or correlation. Elaborately, the opposite of what happens to direct variation. One increases with the other variables, you got it, decreases. This correlations are important to consider because you can determine and identify how two variables relates with one another. Notice x = y (direct), y=1/x (indirect)</span>
