Answer and explanation:

Given : Suppose you and a friend each choose at random an integer between 1 and 8, inclusive.

The sample space is

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)  (1,7) (1,8)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)   (2,7) (2,8)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)   (3,7) (3,8)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)   (4,7) (4,8)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)   (5,7) (5,8)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)   (6,7) (6,8)

(7,1) (7,2) (7,3) (7,4) (7,5) (7,6)   (7,7) (7,8)

(8,1) (8,2) (8,3) (8,4) (8,5) (8,6)   (8,7) (8,8)

Total number of outcome = 64

To find : The following probabilities ?

Solution :

The probability is given by,

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable outcome }}{\text{Total outcome}}

a) p(you pick 5 and your friend picks 8)

The favorable outcome is (5,8)= 1

\text{Probability}=\frac{1}{64}

b) p(sum of the two numbers picked is < 4)

The favorable outcome is (1,1), (1,2), (2,1)= 3

\text{Probability}=\frac{3}{64}

c) p(both numbers match)

The favorable outcome is (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6), (7,7), (8,8) = 8

\text{Probability}=\frac{8}{64}

\text{Probability}=\frac{1}{8}

A half-filled cylindrical water tank has a water level of 20 feet high. The tank can hold 6000 cubic feet of water. Find the dia
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

D=13.8\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If the tank half-filled with water is at 20 feet, then the height of the tank is 40 feet

The volume of the cylindrical tank is equal to

V=\pi r^{2}h

we have

h=40\ ft

V=6,000\ ft^{3}

assume

\pi =3.14

substitute and solve for r

6,000=(3.14)r^{2}(40)

r^{2}=6,000/[(3.14)(40)]

r=6.9\ ft

Find the diameter

Remember that the diameter is two times the radius

D=6.9*2=13.8\ ft
