Suppose that five guests check their hats when they arrive at the Cigar Parlor and that these hats are returned randomly when th

ey leave. Determine the probability that no guest will receive the proper hat
Mathematics

Rashid [163]3 years ago

Answer:

The probability that no guest gets their own hat back = (44/120) = 0.3667

Step-by-step explanation:

The hats can be returned to the guests in

5! different ways. That is, there are 120 difderent permutations of people getting their hats back.

And the number of combinations in which no guest gets their own hat back is 44. (Using the derangement theory)

A derangement is an arrangement of n objects in which no object retains its original position.

It is represented by !n and it is evaluated as the closest whole number to (n!/e)

That is,

!n = (n!/e) (note that e is the rulers number we're used to in mathematics)

e = 2.7183

So, the derangement of 5 guests would be

!5 = (5!/e) = (120/2.7183) = 44.1 = 44.

So, the probability that no guest gets their own hat back = (44/120) = 0.3667

Hope this Helps!!!

Tangent Line h(t) = sec t / t @ (Pi, 1/pi)
Alex Ar [27]
Take derivitive

note
the derivitive of sec(x)=sec(x)tan(x)
so
remember the quotient rule
the derivitive of \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \frac{f'(x)g(x)-g'(x)f(x)}{(g(x))^2}
so

the derivitive of \frac{sec(t)}{t} = \frac{sec(t)tan(t)t-(1)(sec(t))}{t^2}
so now evaluate when t=pi
we get
sec(pi)=-1
tan(pi)=0
we get
\frac{(-1)(0)(pi)-(pi)(-1)}{pi^2}= \frac{pi}{pi^2}= \frac{1}{pi}
slope=1/pi

use slope point form
for
slope=m and point is (x1,y1)
equation is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
slope is 1/pi
point is (pi,1/pi)

y-1/π=1/π(x-π)
times both sides by π
πy-1=x-π
πy=x-π+1
y=(1/π)x-1+(1/π)
or, alternately
-(1/π)x+y=(1/π)-1
x-πy=π-1

Three-eighths of the sum of sixteen times a number and twenty-four. How do you set this up?
patriot [66]
If you break it up:

Three-eighths = 3/8

Sixteen times a number, we'll call the unknown number X, so 16X.

Twenty Four = 24

The sum of 16X and 24 = 16X + 24

We want 3/8 of that sum so we put the sum in parenthesis and we get:

Y = 3/8(16X + 24) where Y is the answer youd get if you knew what X was.
