A library has five copies of a certain textbook on reserve of which two copies (1 and 2) are hardcover books and the other three

(3, 4, and 5) are softcover books. A student examines these books in random order, stopping only when a softcover book has been selected. One possible outcome is 5, and another is 213. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. Enter Ø for the empty set.)
Required:
a. List the outcomes in S
b. Let A denote the event that exactly one book must be examined. What outcomes are in A?
c. Let B be the event that book 5 is the one selected. What outcomes are in B?
d. Let C be the event that book 1 is not examined. What outcomes are in C?

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Since the student have to stop when he gets to w softcover book, then the sample space should always stop at either 3 or 4 or 5. If the students examines the books randomly and stops at a softcover book, here are the possible ways he could carry this out,

S = {3, 4, 5, 13, 14, 15, 23, 24, 25, 123, 124, 125, 213, 214, 215}

2. Since only one book is to be examined then the student must check only one softcover book and end the examining. To do this, either he examines just 3 or 4 or 5. Therefore,

A = {3, 4, 5}

3. We need to pick the possibilities from the sample space that shows that the examining ended at book 5. Therefore,

B = {5, 15, 25, 125, 215}

4. We need to pick possibilities from the sample space that shows that book 1 was not examined. Therefore,

C = {3, 4, 5, 23, 24, 25}

PLEASE HELP!
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Option c:

0.25 \pm 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.25*(1-0.25)}{90}}

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

You have access to first year enrolment records and you decide to randomly sample 119 of those records. You find that 89 of those sampled went on to complete their degree. This means that n = 119, \pi = \frac{89}{119} = 0.7478.

90% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

Sample of 90 people with a sample proportion of 0.25

This means that n = 90, p = 0.25.

Confidence interval:

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.25 \pm 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.25*(1-0.25)}{90}}

Which is option c.

Archimedes knew that at 7 AM, the sunlight reaches the ground at an angle of 31, degrees. The rock beside which he slept was 5 m
evablogger [386]

Answer: Archimedes go to sleep at 8.32 metres away from the rock.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the rock beside which he slept was 5 meters tall

Height h = 5m

Angle Ø = 31 degree

To get distance x away from the rock, we will use trigonometry function. SohCahToa

TanØ = opposite/adjacent

Tan 31 = 5/x

x = 5/tan31

x = 8.32m
