2 answers:
Answer:
B: Permutation; Number of ways are 60
Step-by-step explanation:
At a competition with 5 runners, medals are awarded for first, second, and third places.
Each of the 3 medals is different.
This is a case of Permutation and the Number of ways are 60.
We have to award 3 medals among 5 runners.
This can be done in 5P3 ways.
=
=
=
Therefore, the answer is option A.

We will conclude that:
- The domain of the exponential function is equal to the range of the logarithmic function.
- The domain of the logarithmic function is equal to the range of the exponential function.
<h3>Comparing the domains and ranges.</h3>
Let's study the two functions.
The exponential function is given by:
f(x) = A*e^x
You can input any value of x in that function, so the domain is the set of all real numbers. And the value of x can't change the sign of the function, so, for example, if A is positive, the range will be:
y > 0.
For the logarithmic function we have:
g(x) = A*ln(x).
As you may know, only positive values can be used as arguments for the logarithmic function, while we know that:
So the range of the logarithmic function is the set of all real numbers.
<h3>So what we can conclude?</h3>- The domain of the exponential function is equal to the range of the logarithmic function.
- The domain of the logarithmic function is equal to the range of the exponential function.

Answer:
a) 0.164 = 16.4% probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse
b) 0.017 = 1.7% probability that a disk has at least two missing pulses
c) 0.671 = 67.1% probability that neither contains a missing pulse
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the Poisson distribution and the binomial distribution(for item c).
Poisson distribution:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
In which
x is the number of sucesses
is the Euler number
is the mean in the given interval.
Binomial distribution:
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
Poisson mean:
a. What is the probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse?
One disk, so Poisson.
This is P(X = 1).
0.164 = 16.4% probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse
b. What is the probability that a disk has at least two missing pulses?
In which
In which
0.017 = 1.7% probability that a disk has at least two missing pulses
c. If two disks are independently selected, what is the probability that neither contains a missing pulse?
Two disks, so binomial with n = 2.
A disk has a 0.819 probability of containing no missing pulse, and a 1 - 0.819 = 0.181 probability of containing a missing pulse, so
We want to find P(X = 0).
0.671 = 67.1% probability that neither contains a missing pulse
