Answer:

<u>The probability that Santa will come to the mall OR your best friend will be there is 47.4%</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Probability that Santa will come to the mall on December 18th = 75%

Probability that your best friend will be at the mall on December 18th = 55%

Probability that Santa will come to the mall on December 18th AND your best friend will be there = 75% * 55% = 41.3% not just 40%

2.  What is the probability that Santa will come to the mall OR your best friend will be there?

For answering this question, we should calculate first the probability that Santa will not come to the mall on December 18th AND your best friend will not be there, this way:

Probability that Santa will not come to the mall on December 18th AND your best friend will not be there = 25% * 45% = 11.3%

Now, we know that the probability that Santa will come to the mall on December 18th AND your best friend will be there is 41.3% and the probability that Santa will not come to the mall on December 18th AND your best friend will not be there is 11.3%.

Therefore,  the probability that Santa will come to the mall OR your best friend will be there is:

100% - 41.3% - 11.3% = 100% - 52.6% = 47.4%

<u>The probability that Santa will come to the mall OR your best friend will be there is 47.4%</u>

Find the volume of the largest rectangular box in the first octant with three faces in the coordinate planes and one vertex in t
Tresset [83]

Answer: The volume of largest rectangular box is 4.5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Volume = xyz

with subject to x+2y+3z=9

So, let z=\dfrac{9-x-2y}{3}

So, Volume becomes,

V=xyz\\\\V=xy(\dfrac{9-x-2y}{3})\\\\V=\dfrac{9xy-x^2y-2xy^2}{3}

Partially derivative wrt x and y we get that

9-2x-2y=0\implies 2x+2y=9\\\\and\\\\9-x-4y=0\implies x+4y=9

By solving these two equations, we get that

x=3,y=\dfrac{3}{2}

So, z=\dfrac{9-x-2y}{3}=\dfrac{9-3-3}{3}=\dfrac{3}{3}=1

So, Volume of largest rectangular box would be

xyz=3\times \dfrac{3}{2}\times 1=\dfrac{9}{2}=4.5

Hence, the volume of largest rectangular box is 4.5 units.
