A farmer wants to fence in a rectangular plot of land adjacent to the north wall of his barn. no fencing is needed along the bar

n, and the fencing along the west side of the plot is shared with a neighbor who will split the cost of that portion of the fence. if the fencing costs $12 per linear foot to install and the farmer is not willing to spend more than $3000, find the dimensions for the plot that would enclose the most area. (width, length) =

Hi,

Let assume a the west side,

b the length of the north wall (i suppose the answer is smaller then the barn.

Cost of the fence= a*6+a*12+b*12=3000 $.

So 3a+2b=500==>b=(500-3a)/2

Area =a*b=a(500-3a)/2= 250a-3/2a²

Derivate the area ==> 250-3a=0

==> a=250/3 and b=(500-3*250/3)/2=125

Width=125 (feet)

Length=250/3=83.333 (feet)

A coin is tossed 5 times. Find the probability that all are heads. Find the probability that at most 2 are heads.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

1/32

15/32

Step-by-step explanation:

For a fair sided coin,

Probability of heads, P(H) = 1/2

Probability of tails P(T) = 1/2

For a coin tossed 5 times,

P( All heads)

= P(HHHHH),

= P (H) x P(H) x P(H) x P(H) x P(H)

= (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2)

= 1/32 (Ans)

For part B, it is easier to just list the possible outcomes for

"at most 2 heads" aka "could be 1 head" or "could be 2 heads"

"One Head" Outcomes:

P(HTTTT), P(THTTT) P(TTHTT), P(TTTHT), P(TTTTH)

"2 Heads" Outcomes:

P(HHTTT), P(HTHTT), P(HTTHT), P(HTTTH), P(THHTT), P(THTHT), P(THTTH), P(TTHHT), P(TTHTH), P(TTTHH)

If we count all the possible outcomes, we get 15 possible outcomes representing "at most 2 heads)

we know that each outcome has a probability of 1/32

hence 15 outcomes for "at most 2 heads" have a probability of

(1/32) x 15 = 15/32
