Answer:

If he includes himself then:

Split up the cookies into 4 equal parts.

$\frac{15}{4} = 3.75$

3.75 cookies each if he includes himself.

If he does not include himself:

Split up the cookies into 3 equal parts

$\frac{15}{3} = 5$

5 cookies each if he shares to his friends without including himself.

The top and bottom margins of a poster are 6 cm and the side margins are each 8 cm. If the area of printed material on the poste

Degger [83]

Answer:

The total height and width of the poster is approximately 28.93 and 38.57.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let us consider the width and length of the printed part of the poster is x and y respectively.

For better understanding refer the figure 1:

The area of the printed part is 382 cm²

Area = xy = 382

y = 382/x

Now the total height of the poster is y + 6 + 6 = y + 12

Total width of the poster is x + 8 + 8 = x + 16

Thus the total area of the poster is:

A = (x + 16)(y + 12)

Now substitute the value of y in above equation.

$A = (x+16)(\frac{382}{x}+12)$

$A = 382+12x+\frac{6112}{x}+192$

$A = 12x+\frac{6112}{x}+574$

Now differentiate the above equation with respect to x.

$A' = 12-\frac{6112}{x^2}$

Now, substitute A'= 0 and solve for x.

$0 = 12-\frac{6112}{x^2}$

$12=\frac{6112}{x^2}$

$x^2=\frac{6112}{12}$

$x=22.57$ Ignore the negative value of x as width can't be a negative number.

Now find A''

$A'' = \frac{2(6112)}{x^3}$

Here A" is positive for x>0 and x = 22.57 is minimum.

Use the value of x to find all the respective dimensions of the poster.

Substitute the value of x in y = 382/x

y = 382/22.57 = 16.93

The total height of the poster is y + 6 + 6 = y + 12 = 16.93 + 12 = 28.93

Total width of the poster is x + 8 + 8 = x + 16 = 22.57 + 16 = 38.57

Hence, the total height and width of the poster is approximately 28.93 and 38.57.

Eighteen telephones have just been received at an authorized service center. Six of these telephones are cellular, six are cordl

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Full Question

Eighteen telephones have just been received at an authorized service center. Six of these telephones are cellular, six are cordless, and the other six are corded phones. Suppose that these components are randomly allocated the numbers 1, 2, . . . , 18 to establish the order in which they will be serviced.

What is the probability that after servicing twelve of these phones, phones of only two of the three types remain to be serviced?

What is the probability that two phones of each type are among the first six serviced?

Answer:

a. 0.149

b. 0.182

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of telephone= 18

Number of cellular= 6

Number of cordless = 6

Number of corded = 6

There are 18C6 ways of choosing 6 phones

18C6 = 18564

From the Question, there are 3 types of telephone (cordless, Corded and cellular)

There are 3C2 ways of choosing 2 out of 3 types of television

3C2 = 3

There are 12C6 ways of choosing last 6 phones from just 2 types (2 types = 6 + 6 = 12)

12C6 = 924

There are 2 * 6C6 * 6C0 ways of choosing none from any of these two types of phones

2 * 6C6 * 6C0 = 2 * 1 * 1 = 2.

So, the probability that after servicing twelve of these phones, phones of only two of the three types remain to be serviced is

3 * (924 - 2) / 18564

= 3 * 922/18564

= 2766/18564

= 0.149

There are 6C2 * 6C2 * 6C2 ways of choosing 2 cellular, 2 cordless, 2 corded phones

= (6C2)³

= 3375

So, the probability that two phones of each type are among the first six serviced is

= 3375/18564

= 0.182
