A family plans to have three children. The wife and husband are trying to determine the probabilities of the different gender ou

tcomes for the children.
The husband thinks that the probability that the first child is a girl is greater than the probability that the first child is a girl and the second child is a girl. The wife disagrees. She thinks that the two probabilities are equal.
The sample space of possible outcomes is listed below. B represents a boy, and G represents a girl.
Who is correct, the husband or the wife?

A metal cylinder can with an open top and closed bottom is to have volume 4 cubic feet. Approximate the dimensions that require
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

r\approx 1.084\ feet

h\approx 1.084\ feet

\displaystyle A=11.07\ ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Optimizing With Derivatives </u>

The procedure to optimize a function (find its maximum or minimum) consists in :

  •  Produce a function which depends on only one variable
  •  Compute the first derivative and set it equal to 0
  •  Find the values for the variable, called critical points
  •  Compute the second derivative
  •  Evaluate the second derivative in the critical points. If it results positive, the critical point is a minimum, if it's negative, the critical point is a maximum

We know a cylinder has a volume of 4 ft^3. The volume of a cylinder is given by

\displaystyle V=\pi r^2h

Equating it to 4

\displaystyle \pi r^2h=4

Let's solve for h

\displaystyle h=\frac{4}{\pi r^2}

A cylinder with an open-top has only one circle as the shape of the lid and has a lateral area computed as a rectangle of height h and base equal to the length of a circle. Thus, the total area of the material to make the cylinder is

\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+2\pi rh

Replacing the formula of h

\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+2\pi r \left (\frac{4}{\pi r^2}\right )

Simplifying

\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+\frac{8}{r}

We have the function of the area in terms of one variable. Now we compute the first derivative and equal it to zero

\displaystyle A'=2\pi r-\frac{8}{r^2}=0

Rearranging

\displaystyle 2\pi r=\frac{8}{r^2}

Solving for r

\displaystyle r^3=\frac{4}{\pi }

\displaystyle r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{4}{\pi }}\approx 1.084\ feet

Computing h

\displaystyle h=\frac{4}{\pi \ r^2}\approx 1.084\ feet

We can see the height and the radius are of the same size. We check if the critical point is a maximum or a minimum by computing the second derivative

\displaystyle A''=2\pi+\frac{16}{r^3}

We can see it will be always positive regardless of the value of r (assumed positive too), so the critical point is a minimum.

The minimum area is

\displaystyle A=\pi(1.084)^2+\frac{8}{1.084}

\boxed{ A=11.07\ ft^2}
