Answer:

Option D 6 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

the given points are A, D, C and B. If each point in the diagram can act as end points, we have to calculate number of distinct line segments formed.

This ca be calculated in two ways.

(1) We will form the line segments

AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, DC

Therefore 6 segments can be formed.

(2) By combination method

Number of segments = $^{4}C_{2}$

= $\frac{4!}{2!2!}=\frac{4\times 3\times 2\times 1}{(2\times 1)\times (2\times 1)}$

= $\frac{4\times 3}{2\times 3}=\frac{12}{2}$

= 6

Option D 6 is the answer.

Find lim ?x approaches 0 f(x+?x)-f(x)/?x where f(x) = 4x-3

Whitepunk [10]

If $f(x)=4x-3$ :

$\displaystyle\lim_{\Delta x\to0}\frac{(4(x+\Delta x)-3)-(4x-3)}{\Delta x}=\lim_{\Delta x\to0}\frac{4\Delta x}{\Delta x}=4$

If $f(x)=4x^{-3}$ :

$\displaystyle\lim_{\Delta x\to0}\frac{\frac4{(x+\Delta x)^3}-\frac4{x^3}}{\Delta x}=\lim_{\Delta x\to0}\frac{\frac{4x^3-4(x+\Delta x)^3}{x^3(x+\Delta x)^3}}{\Delta x}$

$\displaystyle=\lim_{\Delta x\to0}\frac{4x^3-4(x^3+3x^2\Delta x+3x(\Delta x)^2+(\Delta x)^3)}{x^3\Delta x(x+\Delta x)^3}$

$\displaystyle=\lim_{\Delta x\to0}\frac{-12x^2\Delta x-12x(\Delta x)^2-4(\Delta x)^3}{x^3\Delta x(x+\Delta x)^3}=-\frac{12}{x^4}$

Suppose that two openings on an appellate court bench are to be filled from current municipal court judges. The municipal court

Ksju [112]

Answer:

$(a)\dfrac{92}{117}$

$(b)\dfrac{8}{39}$

$(c)\dfrac{25}{117}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Men, n(M)=24

Number of Women, n(W)=3

Total Sample, n(S)=24+3=27

Since you cannot appoint the same person twice, the probabilities are <u>without replacement.</u>

(a)Probability that both appointees are men.

$P(MM)=\dfrac{24}{27}X \dfrac{23}{26}=\dfrac{552}{702}\\=\dfrac{92}{117}$

(b)Probability that one man and one woman are appointed.

To find the probability that one man and one woman are appointed, this could happen in two ways.

A man is appointed first and a woman is appointed next.
A woman is appointed first and a man is appointed next.

P(One man and one woman are appointed) $=P(MW)+P(WM)$

$=(\dfrac{24}{27}X \dfrac{3}{26})+(\dfrac{3}{27}X \dfrac{24}{26})\\=\dfrac{72}{702}+\dfrac{72}{702}\\=\dfrac{144}{702}\\=\dfrac{8}{39}$

(c)Probability that at least one woman is appointed.

The probability that at least one woman is appointed can occur in three ways.

A man is appointed first and a woman is appointed next.
A woman is appointed first and a man is appointed next.
Two women are appointed

P(at least one woman is appointed) $=P(MW)+P(WM)+P(WW)$

$P(WW)=\dfrac{3}{27}X \dfrac{2}{26}=\dfrac{6}{702}$

In Part B, $P(MW)+P(WM)=\frac{8}{39}$

Therefore:

$P(MW)+P(WM)+P(WW)=\dfrac{8}{39}+\dfrac{6}{702}\\$P(at least one woman is appointed)=\dfrac{25}{117}$
