You have to consider the sample space. In this example the sample space
is {1,2,3,4,5,6}
A simple event can be defined as a SINGLE outcome : Example getting a 3 OR 5 OR any other number from the sample space.
Now if you roll 1 dice & you want to get an even number (2,4,6) then you have chosen from the sample space 3 outcome & this is a compound event
Equally if you roll 2 dice and want to get "one" and/or "three" this is a compound event since you have chosen 2 outcome from the sample space.
Mind you, if you want 5 And 5 when rolling two dice it's a simple event because you have chosen ONE outcome from the sample space.
Hope this will help you to understand this kind of problem
Answer:
The objective function in terms of one number, x is
S(x) = 4x + (12/x)
The values of x and y that minimum the sum are √3 and 4√3 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Two positive numbers, x and y
x × y = 12
xy = 12
S(x,y) = 4x + y
We plan to minimize the sum subject to the constraint (xy = 12)
We can make y the subject of formula in the constraint equation
y = (12/x)
Substituting into the objective function,
S(x,y) = 4x + y
S(x) = 4x + (12/x)
We can then find the minimum.
At minimum point, (dS/dx) = 0 and (d²S/dx²) > 0
(dS/dx) = 4 - (12/x²) = 0
4 - (12/x²) = 0
(12/x²) = 4
4x² = 12
x = √3
y = 12/√3 = 4√3
To just check if this point is truly a minimum
(d²S/dx²) = (24/x³) = (8/√3) > 0 (minimum point)
