A wire b units long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into an equilateral triangle and the other is bent into a circle.

mezya [45]

1. Divide wire b in parts x and b-x.

2. Bend the b-x piece to form a triangle with side (b-x)/3

There are many ways to find the area of the equilateral triangle. One is by the formula A= $\frac{1}{2}sin60^{o}side*side= \frac{1}{2} \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} (\frac{b-x}{3}) ^{2}= \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}(b-x)^{2}$
A= $\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}(b-x)^{2}=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}( b^{2}-2bx+ x^{2} )=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}b^{2}-\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}bx+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}x^{2}$

Another way is apply the formula A=1/2*base*altitude,
where the altitude can be found by applying the pythagorean theorem on the triangle with hypothenuse (b-x)/3 and side (b-x)/6

3. Let x be the circumference of the circle.

$2 \pi r=x$

so $r= \frac{x}{2 \pi }$

Area of circle = $\pi r^{2}= \pi ( \frac{x}{2 \pi } )^{2} = \frac{ \pi }{ 4 \pi ^{2} }* x^{2} = \frac{1}{4 \pi } x^{2}$

4. Let f(x)= $\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}b^{2}-\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}bx+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}x^{2}+\frac{1}{4 \pi } x^{2}$

be the function of the sum of the areas of the triangle and circle.

5. f(x) is a minimum means f'(x)=0

f'(x)= $\frac{ -\sqrt{3} }{18}b+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}x+\frac{1}{2 \pi } x$ =0

$\frac{ -\sqrt{3} }{18}b+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}x+\frac{1}{2 \pi } x=0$

$(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) x=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b$

$x= \frac{\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b}{(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) }$

6. So one part is $\frac{\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b}{(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) }$ and the other part is b- $\frac{\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b}{(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) }$

10.5% of the population is 65 or older. Find the probability that the following number of persons selected at random from 25 peo

julia-pushkina [17]

Given:

The sample size n=25

Probability of population is 65 or older is 10.5%.

This date follows the binomial distribution,

$\begin{gathered} n=25,p=0.105 \\ X\rightarrow B(n=25,p=0.105) \end{gathered}$

To find the probability that at most 2 are 65 or older,

$\begin{gathered} P(X=x)=^nC_x(p)^x(1-p)^{n-x} \\ P(0\leq X\leq2)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2) \\ =^{25}C_0(0.105)^0(1-0.105)^{25-0}+^{25}C_1(0.105)^1(1-0.105)^{25-1}+^{25}C_2(0.105)^2(1-0.105)^{25-2} \\ =0.0625+0.1832+0.2579 \\ =0.5036 \\ \approx0.504 \end{gathered}$

Answer: Probability is 0.504 .
