Answer:
The number of ways the grasshopper can reach the desired destination are 9 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
The directions in which the grasshopper can jump are;
One block north and one block west
By counting, we have;
The number of possible ways are through blocks
1) 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 10
2) 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9
3) 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9
4) 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 10
5) 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9
6) 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9
7) 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9
8) 15, 14, 16, 12, 11, 10
9) 12, 13, 16, 12, 11, 10
Therefore, there 9 ways the grasshopper can reach the desired destination.
Answer: There are 4 male goats.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that n of the 10 goats are male.
The probability that in a random selection, the selected goat is a male, is equal to the quotient between the number of male goats (n) and the total number of goats (10)
The probability is;
p = n/10
Now the total number of goats is 9, and the number of male goats is n -1
then the probability of selecting a male goat again is:
q = (n-1)/9
The joint probability (the probability that the two selected goats are male) is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, this is
P = p*q = (n/10)*((n-1)/9)
And we know that this probability is equal to 2/15
Then we have:
(n/10)*((n-1)/9) = 2/15
(n*(n-1))/90 = 2/15
n*(n-1) = 90*2/15 = 12
n^2 - n = 12
n^2 - n - 12 = 0
This is a quadratic equation, we can find the solutions if we use Bhaskara's formula:
For an equation:
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
The two solutions are given by:
For our case, the solutions will be:
The two solutions are:
n = (1 - 7)/2 = -3 (this solution does not make sense, we can not have a negative number of goats)
The other solution is:
n = (1 + 7)/2 = 4
This solution does make sense, this means that we have 4 male goats.
