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 $\frac{2}{3}$ .

Interpreting the inequality, it is found that the correct option is given by F.

------------------

The first equation is of the line.
The equal sign is present in the inequality, which means that the line is not dashed, which removes option G.

In standard form, the equation of the line is:

$x + 2y = 6$

$2y = 6 - x$

$y = -0.5x + 2$

Thus it is a decreasing line, which removes options J.

We are interested in the region on the plane below the line, that is, less than the line, which removes option H.

------------------

As for the second equation, the normalized equation is:

$3x^2 + 3y^2 = 12$

$3(x^2 + y^2) = 12$

$x^2 + y^2 = 4$

Thus, a circle centered at the origin and with radius 2.
Now, we have to check if the line $x + 2y - 6 = 0$ , with coefficients $a = 1, b = 2, c = -6$ , intersects the circle, of centre $x = 0, y = 0$
First, we find the following distance:

$d = \sqrt{\frac{|ax + by + c|}{a^2 + b^2}}$

Considering the coefficients of the line and the center of the circle.

$d = \sqrt{\frac{|1(0) + 2(0) - 6|}{1^2 + 2^2}} = \sqrt{\frac{6}{5}} = 1.1$

This distance is less than the radius, thus, the line intersects the circle, which removes option K, and states that the correct option is given by F.

If I ride 3 1/4 miles at 2/5 miles per minute how fast I’m going

Bogdan [553]

To get your answer, you would divide your distance by your speed. You should be going about 1.4 miles per hour.
