exercise 1.3. a telephone number consists of ten digits, of which the first digit is one of 1;2;:::;9 and the others can be 0;1;

2;:::;9. what is the probability that 0/ appears at most once in a telephone number, if all the digits are chosen completely at random

Answer:

The probability that "0" appears at most once in a telephone number is 0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Telephone number = 10 digits

First digit = (1,2......9)------> there are 9 possible digits

digit 2 - digit 10 = (0,1,2......9) -----> there are 10 possible digits

Let's find the total amount of telefone numbers with those characteristics:

possible first digit X possible second digit X...............X possible tenth digit

9X10X10X10X10X10X10X10X10X10 = $9X10^{9} = 9.000.000.000$

Let's find the amount of telephone numbers that "0" appears at most once (it means 0 will occur either once or will not occur):

If "0" appears once, the rest of the numbers should be 1.2.....9 (9 possible digits)

9X10X9X9X9X9X9X9X9X9 = $10X9^{9} = 3.874.204.809$

If "0" doesn't appear, the ten digits should be 1,2....9

9X9X9X9X9X9X9X9X9X9 = $9^{10} =3.486.784.401$

Finally, find the probability

P=(favorable outcomes/total outcomes)

P= $\frac{3.874.204.890 + 3.486.784.401}{9.000.000.000}$ = 0.82

Find the volume of the composite figure. Explain your thought, explain how your arrived at your answer. SHOW YOUR WORK FOR FULL

Bond [772]

At the bottom of the composite figure we have half a sphere, of radius 10 in.

The volume of this hemisphere would be half the volume of the full sphere, or:

(1/2)(4/3)π(10 in)^3, or (2/3)π(1000 in^3), or (2000/3)π in^3.

On top is the cone of radius 10 and slant height 15 in. To find the volume of this cone-shaped solid, we'll need the height of the cone. This can be found using the Pyth. Thm. as follows:

15^2 = 10^2 + h^2, where h is the height of the cone.

225 = 100 + h^2, so that h= √125, or 5√5. The height of the cone is 5√5 in.

Then the volume of the cone is V = (1/3)(base)(height)

= (1/3)(π)(100 in^2)(5√5 in)

= 500√5/3(π) in^3

The total volume of the composite solid is then

(2000/3)(π in^3) + ( 500√5/3(π) ) in^3), or

(π/3)(4+√5) in^3. This comes out to 6.53 in^3, to the nearest hundredth.

The one-time fling! Have you ever purchased an article of clothing (dress, sports jacket, etc.), worn the item once to a party,

Mama L [17]

Answer:

$(a)\ P(x = 0) = 0.2725$

$(b)\ P(x \ge 1) =0.7275$

$(c)\ P(x \le 2) = 0.8948$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$n = 8$ --- 8 friends

$p = 15\%$ --- proportion that one-time fling

This question is an illustration of binomial probability, and it is represented as:

$P(X = x) = ^nC_x* p^x * (1 - p)^{n-x}$

Solving (a): P(x = 0) --- None has done one time fling

$P(x = 0) = ^8C_0* (15\%)^0 * (1 - 15\%)^{8-0}$

$P(x = 0) = 1* 1 * (1 - 0.15)^{8}$

$P(x = 0) = 0.85^8$

$P(x = 0) = 0.2725$

Solving (b): $P(x \ge 1)$

To do this, we make use of compliment rule:

$P(x = 0) + P(x \ge 1) =1$

Rewrite as:

$P(x \ge 1) =1 - P(x = 0)$

$P(x \ge 1) =1 - 0.2725$

$P(x \ge 1) =0.7275$

Solving (c): $P(x\le 2)$ --- Not more than 2 has one time fling

This is calculated as:

$P(x\le 2) = P(x = 0) + P(x =1) + P(x = 2)$

We have:

$P(x = 0) = 0.2725$

$P(x = 1) = ^8C_1* (15\%)^1 * (1 - 15\%)^{8-1}$

$P(x = 1) = 8* (0.15) * (1 - 0.15)^7$

$P(x = 1) = 0.3847$

$P(x = 2) = ^8C_2* (15\%)^2 * (1 - 15\%)^{8-2}$

$P(x = 2) = 28* (0.15)^2 * (1-0.15)^6$

$P(x = 2) = 0.2376$

So:

$P(x\le 2) = P(x = 0) + P(x =1) + P(x = 2)$

$P(x \le 2) = 0.2725 + 0.3847 + 0.2376$

$P(x \le 2) = 0.8948$
