Each of the 25 balls in a certain box is either red, blue, or white and has a number from 1 to 10 painted on it. If one ball is

to be selected at random from the box, what is the probability that the ball selected will either be white or have an even number painted on it?
a) The probablity that the ball will both be white and have an even number is 0.
b) The probablity that the ball will both be white minus the probablity that the ball will have an even number on it is 0.2.

Answer:

Probability ball: white - P(W)P(W);

Probability ball: even - P(E)P(E);

Probability ball: white and even - P(W&E).

Probability ball picked being white or even: P(WorE)=P(W)+P(E)-P(W&E).

(1) The probability that the ball will both be white and have an even number painted on it is 0 --> P(W&E)=0 (no white ball with even number) --> P(WorE)=P(W)+P(E)−0P(WorE)=P(W)+P(E)−0. Not sufficient

(2) The probability that the ball will be white minus the probability that the ball will have an even number painted on it is 0.2 --> P(W)−P(E)=0.2P(W)−P(E)=0.2, multiple values are possible for P(W)P(W) and P(E)P(E) (0.6 and 0.4 OR 0.4 and 0.2). Can not determine P(WorE)P(WorE).

(1)+(2) P(W&E)=0 and P(W)−P(E)=0.2P(W)−P(E)=0.2 --> P(WorE)=2P(E)+0.2P(WorE)=2P(E)+0.2 --> multiple answers are possible, for instance: if P(E)=0.4P(E)=0.4 (10 even balls) then P(WorE)=1P(WorE)=1 BUT if P(E)=0.2P(E)=0.2 (5 even balls) then P(WorE)=0.6P(WorE)=0.6. Not sufficient.

Answer: E.

Use the Midpoint Rule with n = 5 to estimate the volume V obtained by rotating about the y-axis the region under the curve y = 1
velikii [3]

Using the shell method, the volume is given exactly by the definite integral,

2\pi\displaystyle\int_0^1x(1+9x^3)\,\mathrm dx

Splitting up the interval [0, 1] into 5 subintervals gives the partition,

[0, 1/5], [1/5, 2/5], [2/5, 3/5], [3/5, 4/5], [4/5, 5]

with left and right endpoints, respectively, for the i-th subinterval

\ell_i=\dfrac{i-1}5

r_i=\dfrac i5

where 1\le i\le5. The midpoint of each subinterval is

m_i=\dfrac{\ell_i+r_i}2=\dfrac{2i-1}{10}

Then the Riemann sum approximating the integral above is

2\pi\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^5m_i(1+9{m_i}^3)\frac{1-0}5

\dfrac{2\pi}5\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^5\left(\frac{2i-1}{10}+9\left(\frac{2i-1}{10}\right)^4\right)

\dfrac{2\pi}{5\cdot10^4}\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^5\left(16i^4-32i^3+24i^2+1992i-999\right)=\frac{112,021\pi}{25,000}\approx\boxed{14.08}

(compare to the actual value of the integral of about 14.45)
