A certain stock exchange designates each stock with a one-, two-, or three-letter code, where each letter is selected from the 2

6 letters of the alphabet. If the letters may be repeated and if the same letters used in a different order constitute a different code, how many different stocks is it possible to uniquely designate with these codes? a. 2,951 b. 8,125 c. 15,600 d. 16,302 e. 18,278

Answer:

e.18278

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a certain stock exchanges designates each stock with a one, two or three letter code, where each letter is selected from the 26 letters of the alphabet.

Total number of letters=26

If code is made from one letter

Then , total number of ways=26

If code is made from two letters and repetition is allowed

Then , total number of ways=26\times 26=676

If code is made form three letter and repetition is allowed

Then, total number of ways=26\times 26\times 26=17576

Total number of ways=26+676+17576=18278 ways

Hence, number of different stocks designated  with these codes=18278.

Answer: Option 'e' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of letters of the alphabet = 26

Number of letters in code :

One letter code, or two letter code, or three - letter code.

Since repetition of letters are allowed, then

if it is one letter code, the number of arrangement would be 26.

If it is two letter code, the number of arrangements would be

26\times 26\\\\=26^2\\\\=676

If it is three letter code, the number of arrangements would be

26\times 26\times 26\\\\=26^3\\\\=17576

So, Number of different stocks to uniquely designate with these codes would be

26+676+17576\\\\=18278

Hence, Option 'e' is correct.

At Munder Difflin Paper Company, the manager Mitchell Short randomly places golden sheets of paper inside of 30% of their paper
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

90.67% probability that John finds less than 7 golden sheets of paper

Step-by-step explanation:

For each container, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it contains a golden sheet of paper, or it does not. The probability of a container containing a golden sheet of paper is independent of other containers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

At Munder Difflin Paper Company, the manager Mitchell Short randomly places golden sheets of paper inside of 30% of their paper containers.

This means that p = 0.3

14 of these containers of paper.

This means that n = 14

What is the probability that John finds less than 7 golden sheets of paper?

P(X < 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{14,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{14} = 0.0068

P(X = 1) = C_{14,1}.(0.3)^{1}.(0.7)^{13} = 0.0407

P(X = 2) = C_{14,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{12} = 0.1134

P(X = 3) = C_{14,3}.(0.3)^{3}.(0.7)^{11} = 0.1943

P(X = 4) = C_{14,4}.(0.3)^{4}.(0.7)^{10} = 0.2290

P(X = 5) = C_{14,5}.(0.3)^{5}.(0.7)^{9} = 0.1963

P(X = 6) = C_{14,6}.(0.3)^{6}.(0.7)^{8} = 0.1262

P(X < 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.0068 + 0.0407 + 0.1134 + 0.1943 + 0.2290 + 0.1963 + 0.1262 = 0.9067

90.67% probability that John finds less than 7 golden sheets of paper
