Consider the random experiment of tossing 3 fair coins and observing how many of them come to rest with the heads side of the co

in facing upwards. (Assume that each of the coins comes to rest with either its heads side or its tails side facing upwards (i.e., none of the coins comes to rest balanced on its edge).) Letting A denote the event that at least 1 of the coins comes to rest with its heads side upwards, B denote the event that none of the coins comes to rest with its heads side upwards, and S denote the sample space, which of the following statements does not include an abuse of notation?
a. S = 16
b. S = AUB
c. S - 4
d. S = 3
e. P(B) = φ

Answer:

b. S = AUB

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the coins are tossed  3 times and each coin has head, H and tail, T(2 sides), the sample space is S = 2 × 2 × 2 = 2³ = 8

All the possible outcomes are HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT and TTT

Since S denote the sample space

S = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT, TTT}

Since A denote the event that at least 1 of the coins comes to rest with its heads side upwards, the possible outcomes are HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH and THT

So, A = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT}

Also B denote the event that none of the coins comes to rest with its heads side upwards, that is no heads. The possible outcome is TTT

So, B = {TTT}

Since S denote the sample space

S = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT, TTT}

So, A ∪ B = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT} ∪  {TTT} = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT, TTT} = S

So, S = A ∪ B

So, S = A ∪ B does not denote an abuse of notation.

The answer is b.

Assume Pina Colada Corp. uses the periodic inventory system and has a beginning inventory balance of $5800, purchases of $65000,
babymother [125]

The inventory account expected to have by December 31 is more than $5800. Option C

<h3>How to calculate the end inventory</h3>

The formula for end inventory is given as ;

Ending inventory = Beginning inventory + net purchases –sales

Beginning inventory = $5800

Net purchases = $65000

Sales = $112000

Put into the formula

Ending inventory = $ 5800 + 65000 - 112000

Add first,

Ending inventory = $ 70800 - 112000

Ending inventory = $ -41, 200

Thus, the inventory account expected to have by December 31 is more than $5800. Option C

Svetradugi [14.3K]
The order does not matter, so we will be using combinations here. 52C1 is the first one since there is only one possibility. 16C1 is the second. You have to multiply these two, so 52 X 16 = 832.
