Answer:
a) 240 ways
b) 12 ways
c) 108 ways
d) 132 ways
e) i) 0.55
ii) 0.4125
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the components:
Receiver, compound disk player, speakers, turntable.
Then a purcahser is offered a choice of manufacturer for each component:
Receiver: Kenwood, Onkyo, Pioneer, Sony, Sherwood => 5 offers
Compact disc player: Onkyo, Pioneer, Sony, Technics => 4 offers
Speakers: Boston, Infinity, Polk => 3 offers
Turntable: Onkyo, Sony, Teac, Technics => 4 offers
a) The number of ways one component of each type can be selected =
b) If both the receiver and compact disk are to be sony.
In the receiver, the purchaser was offered 1 Sony, also in the CD(compact disk) player the purchaser was offered 1 Sony.
Thus, the number of ways components can be selected if both receiver and player are to be Sony is:
c) If none is to be Sony.
Let's exclude Sony from each component.
Receiver has 1 sony = 5 - 1 = 4
CD player has 1 Sony = 4 - 1 = 3
Speakers had 0 sony = 3 - 0 = 3
Turntable has 1 sony = 4 - 1 = 3
Therefore, the number of ways can be selected if none is to be sony:
d) If at least one sony is to be included.
Number of ways can a selection be made if at least one Sony component is to be included =
Total possible selections - possible selections without Sony
= 240 - 108
= 132 ways
e) If someone flips switches on the selection in a completely random fashion.
i) Probability of selecting at least one Sony component=
Possible selections with at least one sony / Total number of possible selections
ii) Probability of selecting exactly one sony component =
Possible selections with exactly one sony / Total number of possible selections.
This is called a "substitution problem" is where you have variable that have defined values and plug them in value calculate the expression.
B = 3m + 2p # Starting equation
2 = (3)(5) + 2p # Substitution
2 = 15 + 2p # Multiplication
-13 = 2p # Subtract 15 from both sides
= p # Divide both sides from 2
p = # Use the reflexive property of equality
Hope this helps!
Answer:
(b) 1.95
Step-by-step explanation:
One of the easiest ways to evaluate an arithmetic expression of almost any kind is to type it into an on-line calculator. Many times, typing it into a search box is equivalent.
<h3>Application</h3>See the attachment for the search box input (at top) and the result. This calculator has the benefit that it <em>always follows the Order of Operations</em> when evaluating an expression. (Not all calculators do.)
ln(7) ≈ 1.95

<em>Additional comment</em>
If your math course is asking you to evaluate such expressions, you have probably been provided a calculator to use, or given the requirements for a calculator suitable for use in the course.
There are some very nice calculator apps for phone and tablet. Many phones and tablets already come with built-in calculator apps. For the purpose here, you need a "scientific" or "graphing" calculator. A 4-function calculator will not do.
As with any tool, it is always a good idea to read the manual for your calculator and work through any example problems.

Years ago, handheld calculators were not available, and most desktop calculators were only capable of the basic four arithmetic functions. Finding a logarithm required use of a table of logarithms. Such tables were published in mathematical handbooks, and extracts of those often appeared as appendices in math textbooks used in school.
