Ivan is getting ready for a long road trip. He wants to pack a few books from his collection of 5 novels and 7 collected short s

tories books. He asks his friend to select a book without showing. From the remaining books, Ivan then himself picks a random book, which turns out to be a novel. The third book that he randomly selects from the remaining ones is also a novel. Find the probability that Ivan will have 3 novels to read during the road trip.

Answer:

The probability that Ivan will have 3 novels to read during the road trip is 0.0455

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

number of novels = 5

number of short stories = 7

total number of books = 12

The probability that Ivan's friend pick's a novel = 5 / 12

The probability of Ivan's first pick to be a novel = 4 / 11

The probability of Ivan's second pick to be a novel = 3 /10

The probability that Ivan will have 3 novels to read during the road trip is given by;

= p(Ivan's friend pick) and P(Ivan's first pick) and P(Ivan's second pick);

$= \frac{5}{12}*\frac{4}{11}*\frac{3}{10}\\\\ = \frac{1}{22}\\\\ = 0.0455$

Therefore, the probability that Ivan will have 3 novels to read during the road trip is 0.0455

Suppose <br> f '(x) = xe^−x^2

iogann1982 [59]

<h3>Answers:</h3>

(a) The function is increasing on the interval (0, infinity)
(b) The function is decreasing on the interval (-infinity, 0)

=======================================================

Explanation:

You should find that the derivative is entirely negative whenever x < 0. This suggests that the function f(x) is decreasing on this interval. So that takes care of part (b).

The interval x < 0 is the same as -infinity < x < 0 which then translates to the interval notation (-infinity, 0)

Similarly, you should find that the derivative is positive when x > 0. So the function is increasing on the interval (0, infinity)

What is the measure of the other acute angle ?

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

$62^{o}$

Step-by-step explanation:

All the angles in a triangle add up to $180^{o}$

Every right angle triangle has a right angle in it which is $90^{o}$

So to find the remaining angle, you do $180^{o}$ - $90^{o}$ - $28^{o}$ = $62^{o}$
