Two points are selected randomly on a line of length 32 so as to be on opposite sides of the midpoint of the line. In other word

s, the two points X and Y are independent random variables such that X is uniformly distributed over [0,16) and Y is uniformly distributed over (16,32]. Find the probability that the distance between the two points is greater than 9.

Solution :

Let us consider the squares be $[1, 16] \times [16, 32]$

If x ranges from the 0 to 16 and the y ranges from 16 to 32, we see that the boundary of the region$y-x \geq 9 \text{\ is}\ y - x = 9$  which goes from the $(7, 16  ) \text{ to}\ (16, 25) $.

And so it is easier to find the area of region where $ y-x \leq 9$. This is the triangle with points $(7,16),(16,25) \text{ and}\ (16,16)$ as its vertices.

The area if the triangle is =  $\frac{1}{2} \times 9 \times 9$

                                         = $\frac{81}{2}$

Now the entire area is $(16)^2$  = 256

Then, $P(y-x \leq 9) = \frac{81/2}{256} =\frac{81}{512}$

or $P(y-x \geq 9) = 1 - \frac{81}{512}=\frac{431}{512}$

Thus the answer is $\frac{431}{512}$

10.A water tank has strps inside it. A monkeyis sitting on topmost floor(i.e.,the first step).The water level is at ninth step.
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

7 steps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the monkey is sitting on the first step already you can subtract 9 by 1 to find the amount of steps left.

9-1 = 8 steps left

The monkey jumps 3 steps down

8-3= 5 steps

Then jumps 2 steps up

5 + 2 = 7 steps

The monkey has 7 more steps until he reaches the water level.

2) 9 lbs. of mixed nuts containing 55% peanuts were
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

<em>The new mixture is 49% peanuts.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The first batch of 9 lb of mixed nuts contains 55% peanuts. This means the quantity of peanut is:

9*55/100=4.95 lb

The second batch of 6 lb of mixed nuts contains 40% peanuts. This means the quantity of peanut is:

6*40/100=2.4 lb

The total quantity of peanut in the mix is

4.95 lb + 2.4 lb =7.35 lb

There are 9 lb + 6 lb = 15 lb of mix. Thus, the percent of peanut in the mix is:

7.35 / 15 * 100 = 49%

The new mixture is 49% peanuts.
