Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible outcome from rolling two dice is:

1,1      1,2      1,3     1,4      1,5     1,6

2,1     2,2     2,3    2,4     2,5    2,6

3,1     3,2     3,3    3,4      3,5    3,6

4,1     4,2     4,3     4,4     4,5     4,6

5,1     5,2     5,3     5,4     5,5     5,6

6,1     6,2     6,3     6,4     6,5     6,6

The total number of outcomes = 36

a)

P(sum of 5) = 4/36, P(sum of 6) = 5/36, P(sum of 7) = 6/36

Hence:

P(sum of 5 or sum of 6, or sum of 7) = P(sum of 5) + P(sum of 6) + P(sum of 7) = 4/36 + 5/36 + 6/36

P(sum of 5, 6, or 7) = 15 / 36

b)

P(doubles) = 6/36, P(sum of 6) = 5/36, P(sum of 8) = 5/36

Hence:

P(doubles or sum of 6 or sum of 8) = P(doubles) + P(sum of 6) + P(sum of 8) = 6/36 + 5/36 + 5/36

P(doubles or sum of 6 or sum of 8) = 16 / 36

c)

P(sum greater than 8) = 10/36, P(sum lesser than 3) = 1/36

P(sum greater than 8 or less than 3) = P(sum greater than 8) + P(sum lesser than 3) = 10/36 + 1/36

P(sum greater than 8 or less than 3) = 11 / 36

Part c has the least probability of occurrence, hence c is least likely to occur.

A lidless box is to be made using 2m^2 of cardboard find the dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard
Jlenok [28]
1.8, Problem 37: A lidless cardboard box is to be made with a volume of 4 m3 . Find the dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard. Solution: If the dimensions of our box are x, y, and z, then we’re seeking to minimize A(x, y, z) = xy + 2xz + 2yz subject to the constraint that xyz = 4. Our first step is to make the first function a function of just 2 variables. From xyz = 4, we see z = 4/xy, and if we substitute this into A(x, y, z), we obtain a new function A(x, y) = xy + 8/y + 8/x. Since we’re optimizing something, we want to calculate the critical points, which occur when Ax = Ay = 0 or either Ax or Ay is undefined. If Ax or Ay is undefined, then x = 0 or y = 0, which means xyz = 4 can’t hold. So, we calculate when Ax = 0 = Ay. Ax = y − 8/x2 = 0 and Ay = x − 8/y2 = 0. From these, we obtain x 2y = 8 = xy2 . This forces x = y = 2, which forces z = 1. Calculating second derivatives and applying the second derivative test, we see that (x, y) = (2, 2) is a local minimum for A(x, y). To show it’s an absolute minimum, first notice that A(x, y) is defined for all choices of x and y that are positive (if x and y are arbitrarily large, you can still make z REALLY small so that xyz = 4 still). Therefore, the domain is NOT a closed and bounded region (it’s neither closed nor bounded), so you can’t apply the Extreme Value Theorem. However, you can salvage something: observe what happens to A(x, y) as x → 0, as y → 0, as x → ∞, and y → ∞. In each of these cases, at least one of the variables must go to ∞, meaning that A(x, y) goes to ∞. Thus, moving away from (2, 2) forces A(x, y) to increase, and so (2, 2) is an absolute minimum for A(x, y).
