What is the probability that a random permutation of the letters in MATHEMATICS contains the word TEA (with those three letters
1 answer:
Answer:
The probability that a random permutation of the letters in MATHEMATICS contains the word TEA is 0.04.
Step-by-step explanation:
First compute the number of permutations of the word MATHEMATICS.
There are a total of 11 letters.
And there are 2 Ms, 2 As and 2 Ts
Number of permutations of MATHEMATICS =
Now, if the letters TEA occur together in the same order then the word may be of the form: (TEA)MHMATICS.
There are a total of 9 letters.
The letters TEA is treated as only one letter.
In this case there are 2 Ms.
Number of permutations of (TEA)MHMATICS =
The probability that the letters TEA occur together is:
Thus, the probability that a random permutation of the letters in MATHEMATICS contains the word TEA is 0.04.

Replace x with π/2 - x to get the equivalent integral
but the integrand is even, so this is really just
Substitute x = 1/2 arccot(u/2), which transforms the integral to
There are lots of ways to compute this. What I did was to consider the complex contour integral
where γ is a semicircle in the complex plane with its diameter joining (-R, 0) and (R, 0) on the real axis. A bound for the integral over the arc of the circle is estimated to be
which vanishes as R goes to ∞. Then by the residue theorem, we have in the limit
and it follows that
Answer:
9765625
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common ratio between consecutive terms , that is
r = 25 ÷ 5 = 125 ÷ 25 = 5
This indicates the sequence is geometric with n th term
= a₁
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here a₁ = 5 and r = 5 , then
a₁₀ = 5 × = 5 × 1953125 = 9765625
