Two part-time instructors are hired by the Department of Statistics and each is assigned at random to teach a single course in p

robability, inference, or statistical computing. Assume that more than one section of each course is offered. List the outcomes in the sample space [Hint: each element consists of a pair of assignments]. Find the probability that they will teach different courses. Note: carefully define your notation (e.g. any events) in words before solving the problem.

Answer:

The probability that they will teach different courses is \frac{2}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample space is a set of all possible outcomes of an experiment.

In this case we will write the sample space in the form (x, y).

Here <em>x</em> represents the course taught by the first part-time instructor and <em>y</em> represents the course taught by the second part-time instructor.

Denote every course by their first letter.

The sample space is as follows:

S = {(P, P), (P, I), (P, S), (I, P), (I, I), (I, S), (S, P), (S, I) and (S, S)}

The outcomes where the the instructors will teach different courses are:

s = {(P, I), (P, S), (I, P),(I, S), (S, P) and (S, I)}

The probability of an events <em>E</em> is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{N}

Compute the probability that they will teach different courses as follows:

P(\text{Different courses})=\frac{n(s)}{n(S)}=\frac{6}{9}=\frac{2}{3}

Thus, the probability that they will teach different courses is \frac{2}{3}.

Andrea has 18 yards of fabric. How many 4 inch pieces can she cut from her original place?
Galina-37 [17]
4inches = 1/3 of a foot (4inches x 3 = 12 inches) - so she can cut 3 out of each foot

1 yard = 3 feet - so she can cut 3 x 3 = 9 out of each yard

18 x 9 = 162 pieces

A farmer wants to fence in a rectangular field that encloses 3600 square feet. One side of the field is along a river and does n
andriy [413]

Answer:

C(x) = \$3.50(\frac{x^2+7200}{x})

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Area of the field = 3600 square feet

Fencing charges = $3.50 per foot

Let the side along the river be 'x' feet and the other side of the 'B'

now,

Area of rectangle = Bx = 3600 square feet

or

B = \frac{3600}{x} feet

and total length to be fenced = x + 2B

therefore,

Total cost of fencing = Fencing charges × total length to be fenced

or

Total cost of fencing = $3.50 × ( x + 2B )

substituting the value of B from (1)

Total cost of fencing, C(x) = \$3.50(x+2\times\frac{3600}{x})

or

C(x) = \$3.50(\frac{x^2+7200}{x})

Degger [83]

Answer:

A. Bar graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are all different activities and don't relate you can put different bars to put the different activities and use the left to indicate the amount of students and grow the bar according to the amount of students in that activity; each bar stands for a different activity, the y-intercept is for the amount of students, the bar will grow 'up' according to the amount of students.
