Complete question:

Consider a class of 20 students consisting of 5 sophomores, 8 juniors, and 7 seniors. A math instructor assigns a group project in each of the scenarios below, the instructor selects 5 consecutive students from this class, keeping track (in order) of the level of the student that he gets.

1a. How many possible outcomes are in the sample space S? (An outcome is a 5- tuple of students.)

Let A2 denote the event that exactly 2 of the selected students are sophomore, A5 denote the event that exactly 5 of the selected students are the juniors, and A4 denote the event that exactly 4 of the selected students are seniors.

1b. Find the probabilities of each of these three events. A2, A5, A4

1c. Do the events A2, A5, A4 constitute a partition of the sample space?

Answer:

Given:

n = 20

a) The possible outcome in the sample space,S, =

ⁿCₓ = ²⁰C₅

= \frac{20!}{(20-5)! 5!)}

= \frac{20*19*18*17*16}{5*4*3*2*1}

= 15504

b) probabilities of A2, A5, A4

P(A2) = ⁵C₂ / ²⁰C₂

= \frac{20}{320} = \frac{1}{19}

P(A5) = ⁸C₅ / ²⁰C₅

= \frac{56}{15540} = \frac{7}{1938}

P(A4) = ⁷C₄ / ²⁰C₄

= \frac{35}{4845} = \frac{7}{969}

c) No,the events A2, A5, A4, do not comstitute a partition of the sample space. i.e P(A2)+P(A5)+P(A4) ≠ 1

Suppose you invest $100 a month in an annuity that
Dominik [7]

Answer:

  $2502.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the amount of an annuity due is ...

  A = P(1 +r/n)((1 +r/n)^(nt) -1)/(r/n)

where P is the monthly payment (100), r is the annual interest rate (.04), n is the number of compoundings per year (12), and t is the number of years (2). Given these numbers, the formula evaluates to ...

  A = $100(1.00333333)(1.00333333^24 -1)/0.00333333

  = $100(301)(0.08314296)

  = $2502.60

_____

This value is confirmed by a financial calculator. The given answer choices all appear to be incorrect. The closest one corresponds to an annual interest rate (APR) of 4.286%, not 4%.

A conical paper cup has a radius of 2 inches. Approximate, to the nearest degree, the angle β so that the cone will have a volum
dezoksy [38]
Volume = area of base *height 

20 = pir^2 *h

20 = 3,14*4*h

h = 20/12,56 = 1,59 rounded 1,6

- using the triangle formed by radius,the height of cup and the slant height of cup so we can writing that

tan ß = h/r so tan ß = 1,6/2 = 0,8

tan ß = 0,8 so ß = arctan 0,8 = 38,6 degrees so 39 degrees
