A trader is designing his investment portfolio. He has prepared a list of potential companies in which to purchase stock. These

include 3 companies in agriculture, 4 companies in manufacturing and 6 companies in the high-tech industry. The trader is going to print this list of companies. a. In how many ways can he print the list? b. What is the probability that the last 2 companies in the list are manufacturing? c. What is the probability that none of the agricultural companies are together in the list? d. If we just look at the categories of the companies, how many ways are there in which to print the list? e. The trader will select 5 stocks from the list in which he will invest. How many ways can he select these? f.Of the 5 selected stocks what is the probability that he will pick at least 2 high-tech stocks? g. Of the 5 selected stocks what is the probability that the trader's pick contains 2 in agriculture, 1 in manufacturing and 2 in high-tech industry?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The required number of ways = 13! = 6,227,020,800

(b) The required probability = 4C2/13C2 = 1/13

(c) The required probability = 1 - P(at least two of the agricultural companies are together in the list)

= 1 - 3C2*2!*12!/13! = 7/13

(d) The required number of ways to print the list = 13!/(3!*4!*6!)

= 60,060

(e) The required number of ways = 13C5 = 1287

(f) The required probability

= (6C2*7C3 + 6C3*7C2 + 6C4*7C1 + 6C5)/13C5

= 0.8205

(g) The required probability = (3C2*4C1*6C2)/13C5 = 0.1399

Find the vertex of the parabola y = 8x2.
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

vertex is at (0,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the vertex of the parabola y = 8x2.

I assume you meant   y =  8* x^2

this can be compared to the general vertex form  y = a (x - h)^2 + k

where vertex at  (h, k)

so then...

h =0  and k = 0 here

vertex is at (0,0)

Simplify.
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression √3/√8, we can first simplify the square root terms by finding the prime factorization of each number under the square root. The prime factorization of 3 is 3, and the prime factorization of 8 is 2 * 2 * 2.

We can then rewrite the square root terms as follows:

√3/√8 = √(3) / √(2 * 2 * 2)

Next, we can use the property of square roots that says that the square root of a number is equal to the square root of each of its prime factors. This means that we can rewrite the square root term as follows:

√(3) / √(2 * 2 * 2) = √(3) / √(2) / √(2) / √(2)

Since the square root of a number is the same as the number itself, we can simplify the expression further by removing the square root symbols from the prime numbers 2:

√(3) / √(2) / √(2) / √(2) = √(3) / 2 / 2 / 2

Finally, we can use the rules of division to simplify the expression even further:

√(3) / 2 / 2 / 2 = √(3) / (2 * 2 * 2)

Since any number divided by itself is equal to 1, we can simplify the expression one last time to get our final answer:

√(3) / (2 * 2 * 2) = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

Therefore, the simplified form of the expression √3/√8 is 1/8.
