 Given that a display allows a customer to hook together any selection of components, one of each type. These are the types:
Receiver: Kenwood, Onkyo, Pioneer, Sony, Sherwood
CD player: Onkyo, Pioneer, Sony, Technics
Speakers: Boston, Infinity, Polk
Cassette: Onkyo, Sony, Teac, Technics:

Part (a):
In how many ways can one component of each type be selected?

The number of ways one type of receiver will be selected is given by 5C1 = 5
The number of ways one type of CD player will be selected is given by 4C1 = 4
The number of ways one type of speakers will be selected is given by 3C1 = 3
The number of ways one type of cassette will be selected is given by 4C1 = 4

Therefore, the number of ways one component of each type can be selected is given by 5 x 4 x 3 x 4 = 240 ways



Part (b):
In how many ways can components be selected if both the receiver and the compact disc player are to be Sony?

The number of ways of selecting a Sony receiver is 1
The number of ways of selecting a Sony CD player is 1
The number of ways one type of speakers will be selected is given by 3C1 = 3
The number of ways one type of cassette will be selected is given by 4C1 = 4

Therefore, the number of ways components can be selected if both the receiver and the compact disc player are to be Sony is given by 1 x 1 x 3 x 4 = 12



Part (c)
In how many ways can components be selected if none of them are Sony?

The number of ways one type of receiver that is not Sony will be selected is given by 4C1 = 4
The number of ways one type of CD player that is not Sony will be selected is given by 3C1 = 3
The number of ways one type of speakers that is not Sony will be selected is given by 3C1 = 3
The number of ways one type of cassette that is not Sony will be selected is given by 3C1 = 3

Therefore, the number of ways that components can be selected if none of them are Sony is given by 4 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 108



Part (d):
In how many ways can a selection be made if at least one Sony component is to be included?

The total number of ways of selecting one component of each type is 240
The number of ways that components can be selected if none of them are Sony is 108

Therefore, the number of ways of selecting at least one Sony component is given by 240 - 108 = 132



Part (e):
If someone flips switches on the selection in a completely random fashion, what is the probability that the system selected contains at least one Sony component?

The total number of ways of selecting one component of each type is 240
The number of ways of selecting at least one Sony component is 132

Therefore, the probability that a system selected at random contains at least one Sony component is given by 132 / 240 = 0.55



Part (f):
If someone flips switches on the selection in a completely random fashion, what is the probability that the system selected contains exactly one Sony component? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

The number of ways of selecting only a Sony receiver is given by 1 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 27
The number of ways of selecting only a Sony CD player is given by 4 x 1 x 3 x 3 = 36
The number of ways of selecting only a Sony cassette is given by 4 x 3 x 3 x 1 = 36

Thus, the number of ways of selecting exactly one Sony component is given by 27 + 36 + 36 = 99

Therefore, the probability that a system selected at random contains exactly one Sony component is given by 99 / 240 = 0.413

Serika has hired Tom to build her a dollhouse. The dollhouse will be a scale model of her home, and the scale will be 2 inches :
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

96 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale is 2 inches : 3 feet

Thus for 18 feet in Serika's real house, the model is 18 * (2"/3') = 12 inches

For 12 feet in Serika's real house, the model is 12 * (2"/3') = 8 inches

Area of carpeting needed in Serika's dollhouse = 12" * 8" = 96 square inches
