Let the event $A=\{ Sophomore \}, B=\{ Boy \}$

The the probability of the events

$P(A \cap B)=\frac{5}{12+18} =\frac{1}{6}$

$P( B)=\frac{12}{12+18} =\frac{2}{5}$

The conditional probability

$P(Sophomore|Boy)=P(A|B)=\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} =\frac{1/6}{2/5} =\frac{5}{12}$

First we need to subtract $5 from both sides. That gives us the new equation 1.50p = 9. Then, divide 9 by 1.5, which gives you the answer. 9/1.5 = 6.

Let S be the solid beneath z = 12xy^2 and above z = 0, over the rectangle [0, 1] × [0, 1]. Find the value of m > 1 so that th

jonny [76]

Answer:

The answer is $\sqrt{\frac{6}{5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the volumen of the solid we solve the next double integral:

$\int\limits^1_0\int\limits^1_0 {12xy^{2} } \, dxdy$

Solving:

$\int\limits^1_0 {12x} \, dx \int\limits^1_0 {y^{2} } \, dy$

$[6x^{2} ]{{1} \atop {0}} \right. * [\frac{y^{3}}{3}]{{1} \atop {0}} \right.$

Replacing the limits:

$6*\frac{1}{3} =2$

The plane y=mx divides this volume in two equal parts. So volume of one part is 1.

Since m > 1, hence mx ≤ y ≤ 1, 0 ≤ x ≤ $\frac{1}{m}$

Solving the double integral with these new limits we have:

$\int\limits^\frac{1}{m} _0\int\limits^{1}_{mx} {12xy^{2} } \, dxdy$

This part is a little bit tricky so let's solve the integral first for dy:

$\int\limits^\frac{1}{m}_0 [{12x \frac{y^{3}}{3}}]{{1} \atop {mx}} \right.\, dx =\int\limits^\frac{1}{m}_0 [{4x y^{3 }]{{1} \atop {mx}} \right.\, dx$

Replacing the limits:

$\int\limits^\frac{1}{m}_0 {4x(1-(mx)^{3} )\, dx =\int\limits^\frac{1}{m}_0 {4x-4x(m^{3} x^{3} )\, dx =\int\limits^\frac{1}{m}_0 ({4x-4m^{3} x^{4}) \, dx$

Solving now for dx:

$[{\frac{4x^{2}}{2} -\frac{4m^{3} x^{5}}{5} ]{{\frac{1}{m} } \atop {0}} \right. = [{2x^{2} -\frac{4m^{3} x^{5}}{5} ]{{\frac{1}{m} } \atop {0}} \right.$

Replacing the limits:

$\frac{2}{m^{2} }-\frac{4m^{3}\frac{1}{m^{5}}}{5} =\frac{2}{m^{2} }-\frac{4\frac{1}{m^{2}}}{5} \\ \frac{2}{m^{2} }-\frac{4}{5m^{2} }=\frac{10m^{2}-4m^{2} }{5m^{4}} \\ \frac{6m^{2} }{5m^{4}} =\frac{6}{5m^{2}}$

As I mentioned before, this volume is equal to 1, hence:

$\frac{6}{5m^{2}}=1\\m^{2} =\frac{6}{5} \\m=\sqrt{\frac{6}{5} }$
