Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "LAMEFIREALARM" word consists of

2L , 2M, 2E , 2R , 3A , F and I

no of words with the above letters such that M's are not together

=Total No of words- M's are together

Total no of words=\frac{13!}{4\times 2!\times 3!}=64,864,800

When M's are together . considering 2 M's as one

therefore there are \frac{12!}{3\times 2!\times 3!}=9,979,200

No of ways=\frac{13!}{4\times 2!\times 3!}-\frac{12!}{3\times 2!\times 3!}=54,885,600

(b)No of ways such that M's are separated by at least 2 letters

at least  2 letter means 2 letter, 3 letter ......11 letters

So we have to subtract no of ways where there are 1 letter in between M's from total no of ways where 2 M's are not next to each other

No of ways in which there is 1 letter between 2 M's

This can be done by considering 11 cases

In first case Place first M in Starting Position and 2 M on third place

Second case place First M in 2 nd Position and second M on 4 th place

Similarly For 11th case

Place first M in 11th place and second M on 13th place

Total ways

=\frac{11\times 11!}{3!\times 2!\times 2!\times 2!}

So , the total number of arrangements of the letters of the word LAMEFIREALARM where the two M's are separated by atleast two letters is

=\frac{13!}{4\times 2!\times 3!}-\frac{12!}{3\times 2!\times 3!}-\frac{11\times 11!}{3!\times 2!\times 2!\times 2!}

=45738000

Two ballpoint pens are selected at random from a box that contains 3 blue pens, 2 red pens, and 3 green pens. If X is the number
Flauer [41]

Answer:

a) f(x,y) =\frac{\binom{3}{x}\binom{2}{y}\binom{3}{2-x-y}}{\binom{8}{2}} ;   x = 0, 1 , 2;  y = 0, 1 , 2; 0 ≤ x+y ≥ 2

b) = \frac{9}{14}

Step-by-step explanation:

joint probability is a function that characterizes the distribution of a random variable. If X and Y be two random variables then the joint probability will be P(X = x, Y=y)

Given Data,

X = The number of blue Pens

Y = The number of red Pens

a)

possible outcomes(X, Y) are (0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0), (1, 1), (0, 2), (2,0)

Please refer fig. also

total number ways of selecting any 2 pens = \binom{8}{2}= \frac{8!}{2! 6!} =28

f(x,y) = \frac{\binom{3}{x}\binom{2}{y}\binom{3}{2-x-y}}{\binom{8}{2}} ;   x = 0, 1 , 2;  y = 0, 1 , 2; 0 ≤ x+y ≥ 2

b)

P(X,Y)∈A = P(X + Y ≤ 1)

= P(0,0) + P(1,0) + P(0,1)

= \frac{3}{28} + \frac{3}{14} + \frac{9}{28}

= \frac{9}{14}

F
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

f(2) - f(4) / 2-4

[2²+3(2)] - [4²+3(4)] / -2

(10 - 28) / 2

= -18/2

= -9
