A bag contains 4 green balls and 3 red balls. A ball is selected at random from the bag. If it is red it is returned to the bag, but if it is green it is not returned. A second ball is then selected at random from the bag. Let A be the event that the first ball is green and B be the event that the second ball is green. Explain whether each of the following statements is true or false:
(a) Pr(B|A) = 1/2. [2 marks]
(b) Pr(B) = 4/7. [2 marks]
(c) Pr(A|B) = 7/13. [2 marks]
(d) The events A and B are mutually exclusive. [2 marks]
(e) The events A and B are independent. [2 marks]

The distance between points A and B is 17. The slope of the straight line that passes through both A and B is `-15/8`.

(a) Distance between A and B

Determining the distance between two points on a Cartesian coordinate plane follows the formula of the distance formula, which is: `sqrt{(x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²}`.

Using the coordinates of points A and B, we can now compute their distance apart using the distance formula: D = `sqrt{(8 - 0)² + (-15 - 0)²}`D = `sqrt{64 + 225}`D = `sqrt{289}`D = 17

Therefore, the distance between points A and B is 17.

(b) Slope of straight line AB

To determine the slope of the straight line that passes through both A and B, we can use the slope formula, which is: `m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`.

Using the given coordinates of points A and B, we can calculate the slope of AB as:

m = (-15 - 0)/(8 - 0)m = -15/8

The slope of the straight line that passes through both A and B is `-15/8`.

Given Points are (0,0), (-4, 1), (3, -2).

F(x,y) is not conservative.

To plot and label the given points and arrows, we follow the steps as follows:

Now we have to represent the vector field F = (2, 3 - y) as arrows.

We can write this vector as F(x,y) = (2, 3 - y)

Let's plot the vector field for the given points:

Let's calculate the value of F(x,y) for the given points:

(i) At point (0,0)

F(0,0) = (2, 3 - 0)

= (2, 3)

= 2i + 3j

End point = (0 + 2, 0 + 3)

= (2, 3)

Arrow at (0,0) = (2,3)

(ii) At point (-4,1)

F(-4,1) = (2, 3 - 1)

= (2, 2)

= 2i + 2j

End point = (-4 + 2, 1 + 2)

= (-2, 3)

Arrow at (-4,1) = (2,2) ending at (-2,3)

(iii) At point (3,-2)

F(3,-2) = (2, 3 + 2)

= (2, 5) = 2i + 5j

End point = (3 + 2, -2 + 5)

= (5, 3)

Arrow at (3,-2) = (2,5) ending at (5,3)

Component Test for F(x,y) = (5x, y - 4z, y + 4z)

We need to check if F(x,y) is conservative or not. For that, we need to check the following criteria:

Step 1: Calculate curl of F

Step 2: Check if curl of F = 0

Step 1: Calculate curl of FFor F(x,y) = (5x, y - 4z, y + 4z)

curl(F) =  ∇ x F

Here ∇ = del

= ( ∂/∂x, ∂/∂y, ∂/∂z)

So, curl(F) =  ∇ x F

= ∂F_3/∂y - ∂F_2/∂z i + ∂F_1/∂z j + ∂F_2/∂x k

= 1 - 0 i + 0 j + 5 k

=  k

= (0, 0, 5)

curl(F) = (0, 0, 5)

Step 2: Check if curl of F = 0.

We have, curl(F) = (0, 0, 5).

Since curl(F) is not equal to zero, F(x,y) is not conservative.

Therefore, F(x,y) is not a gradient of any scalar function. Hence, F(x,y) is not conservative.

The Wronskian is not zero at x = 2, i.e., W(Y1, Y2)(2) ≠ 0. Therefore, Y1 and Y2 form a fundamental set of solutions.

(a) We are given the differential equation to be 2y' + (x + 1)y' + 3y = 0.

We are to seek a power series solution for the given differential equation about the given point xo, i.e., 2 and find the recurrence relation that the coefficients must satisfy.

We can write the given differential equation as

(2 + x + 1)y' + 3y = 0or (dy/dx) + (x + 1)/(2 + x + 1)y = -3/(2 + x + 1)y.

Comparing with the standard form of the differential equation, we get

P(x) = (x + 1)/(2 + x + 1) = (x + 1)/(3 + x), Q(x) = -3/(2 + x + 1) = -3/(3 + x)Let y = Σan(x - xo)n be a power series solution.

Then y' = Σn an (x - xo)n-1 and y'' = Σn(n - 1) an (x - xo)n-2.

Substituting these in the differential equation, we get

2y' + (x + 1)y' + 3y = 02Σn an (x - xo)n-1 + (x + 1)Σn an (x - xo)n-1 + 3Σn an (x - xo)n = 0

Dividing by 2 + x, we get

2(Σn an (x - xo)n-1)/(2 + x) + (Σn an (x - xo)n-1)/(2 + x) + 3Σn an (x - xo)n/(2 + x) = 0

Simplifying the above expression, we get

Σn [(n + 2)an+2 + (n + 1)an+1 + 3an](x - xo)n = 0

Comparing the coefficients of like powers of (x - xo), we get the recurrence relation

(n + 2)an+2 + (n + 1)an+1 + 3an = 0, n = 0, 1, 2, ....

(c) We are to show that Y1 and Y2 form a fundamental set of solutions by evaluating the Wronskian W(Y1, Y2)(2).

To find the first three terms of the Taylor series for the function F(x) = sin(px) + e^(x-1) about x = p and approximate F(2p), we can use the Taylor series expansion formula. The first paragraph will provide the summary of the answer in two lines, and the second paragraph will explain the process of finding the Taylor series and using it to approximate F(2p).

To find the Taylor series for F(x) = sin(px) + e^(x-1) about x = p, we need to find the derivatives of the function at x = p and evaluate them. The Taylor series expansion formula is given by:

f(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x-a) + (f''(a)/2!)(x-a)^2 + ...

In this case, we evaluate the function and its derivatives at x = p.

The function at x = p is F(p) = sin(p^2) + e^(p-1).

The first derivative at x = p is F'(p) = p*cos(p^2) + e^(p-1).

The second derivative at x = p is F''(p) = -2p^2*sin(p^2) + e^(p-1).

Using these values, the first three terms of the Taylor series for F(x) about x = p are:

F(x) ≈ F(p) + F'(p)(x-p) + (F''(p)/2!)(x-p)^2

To approximate F(2p), we substitute x = 2p into the Taylor series:

F(2p) ≈ F(p) + F'(p)(2p-p) + (F''(p)/2!)(2p-p)^2

Simplifying the expression will give us the approximation for F(2p) using the first three terms of the Taylor series.

The error under the Ls-norm between the computed solution and the actual solution is 0.002548715.

To compute the error under the L2-norm, we need to find the Euclidean distance between the computed solution and the actual solution.

The Euclidean distance between two vectors can be calculated as the square root of the sum of the squared differences between their corresponding elements.

Let's calculate the error step by step:

1. Subtract the corresponding elements of the computed solution and the actual solution:

  Error = [0.9408405 - 0.9408, 1.2691622 - 1.2692, 0.9139026 - 0.9139, 0.8130528 - 0.8131, 0.8259656 - 0.8260]

        = [0.0000405, -0.0000378, 0.0000026, -0.0000472, -0.0000344]

2. Square each of the differences:

  Squared Errors = [0.000001642025, 0.00000143084, 0.00000000000676, 0.00000222784, 0.00000118576]

3. Sum up the squared errors:

  Sum of Squared Errors = 0.00000648747676

4. Take the square root of the sum of squared errors to obtain the L2-norm error:

  L2-norm Error = sqrt(0.00000648747676) ≈0.002548715.

Therefore, the error under the L2-norm is approximately 0.002548715.

The values of A, B, F, and G can be determined by comparing the given general solution with the given second-order linear differential equation.

To find the values of A, B, F, and G, we will compare the given general solution with the second-order linear differential equation.

Given:

General solution: y = (C1)exp(Ax) + (C2)exp(Bx) + F + Gx

Second-order linear differential equation: (y'') + (1y') + (-72y) = (-7) + (5)x

Comparing the terms:

Exponential terms:

The second-order linear differential equation does not have any exponential terms involving y''. Therefore, the coefficients of exp(Ax) and exp(Bx) in the general solution must be zero.

Constant terms:

The constant term in the general solution is F. It should be equal to the constant term on the right-hand side of the differential equation, which is -7.

Coefficient of x term:

The coefficient of the x term in the general solution is G. It should be equal to the coefficient of x on the right-hand side of the differential equation, which is 5.

Now, equating the terms and coefficients, we have:

0 = 0 (no exponential terms involving y'')

F = -7 (constant term)

G = 5 (coefficient of x term)

Since there are no specific terms involving y' and y'' in the differential equation, we cannot determine the values of A and B from the given information. Therefore, the values of A, B, F, and G are undetermined, except for F = -7 and G = 5.

To find the percent of women taller than 70 inches, we can use the normal distribution and the given mean and standard deviation.

Let's denote:

- Mean height of women [tex](\( \mu_w \))[/tex] = 64.0 inches

- Standard deviation of women [tex](\( \sigma_w \))[/tex] = 2.5 inches

We want to find the percentage of women taller than 70 inches. We can calculate this by finding the area under the normal curve to the right of 70 inches.

Using the standard normal distribution, we need to convert 70 inches into a z-score, which represents the number of standard deviations away from the mean.

The z-score [tex](\( z \))[/tex] can be calculated using the formula:

[tex]\[ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} \][/tex]

where [tex]\( x \)[/tex] is the value (70 inches),  [tex]\( \mu \)[/tex] is the mean (64.0 inches), and [tex]\( \sigma \)[/tex] is the standard deviation (2.5 inches).

Substituting the values, we get:

[tex]\[ z = \frac{70 - 64.0}{2.5} \][/tex]

Next, we can look up the area corresponding to the z-score using a standard normal distribution table or use statistical software to find the cumulative probability to the right of the z-score.

Let's denote the area to the right of the z-score as [tex]\( P(z > z_{\text{score}}) \)[/tex]. This represents the proportion of women taller than 70 inches.

Finally, we can calculate the percent of women taller than 70 inches by multiplying the proportion by 100:

[tex]\[ \text{Percent of women taller than 70 inches} = P(z > z_{\text{score}}) \times 100 \][/tex]

(b) The maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of α and β can be obtained by maximizing the likelihood function, which is a measure of how likely the observed sample values are for different parameter values.

(a) To compute the method of moments estimator for α and β, we equate the sample moments to the population moments. For the Uniform(α − β, α + β) distribution, the population mean is α, and the population variance is β^2/3. By setting the sample mean equal to the population mean and the sample variance equal to the population variance, we can solve for α and β to obtain the method of moments estimators.

(b) To compute the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of α and β, we construct the likelihood function based on the observed sample values. For the Uniform(α − β, α + β) distribution, the likelihood function is a product of the probabilities of observing the sample values. Taking the logarithm of the likelihood function, we can simplify the computation. Then, by maximizing the logarithm of the likelihood function with respect to α and β, we can find the values that maximize the likelihood of observing the given sample. These values are the maximum likelihood estimators of α and β.

The probability density function for X, denoted as g(x), is defined as follows:

g(x) = 2 if 2 < x < 3, and g(x) = 0 elsewhere.

The probability density function for Y, denoted as h(y), is defined as follows:

h(y) = gy, where gy represents the probability density function for Y.

Since X and Y are independent, we can express the joint probability density function of X and Y as g(x)h(y).

To find the expected value of Z = XY, we need to evaluate the integral of Z multiplied by the joint probability density function over the possible values of X and Y.

E(Z) = ∫∫ (xy) * (g(x)h(y)) dxdy

By substituting the given probability density functions for g(x) and h(y) into the integral and performing the necessary calculations, we can determine the expected value of Z.

c) There are 72 four-digit numbers that are divisible by 10

a) Let's first calculate the total number of possible combinations for the given registration numbers. Since there are 31 Bangla letters for vehicle class, two-digit numbers from 11 to 99 for vehicle series, and four-digit numbers for vehicle number, the total number of possible combinations can be obtained by multiplying these three numbers.

Thus:

31 × 89 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 31 × 8,900,

= 275,900.

Therefore, there are 275,900 possible registration numbers that can be created in this way.

b) We need to find the number of ways to select 5 balls from 5 black balls and 3 red balls, such that at least 3 of them are black balls.

There are two ways in which at least 3 black balls can be selected:

3 black balls and 2 red balls 4 black balls and 1 red ball

When 3 black balls and 2 red balls are selected, there are 5C3 ways to select 3 black balls out of 5 and 3C2 ways to select 2 red balls out of 3.

Thus the total number of ways to select 5 balls with at least 3 black balls is:

5C3 × 3C2

= 30

When 4 black balls and 1 red ball are selected, there are 5C4 ways to select 4 black balls out of 5 and 3C1 ways to select 1 red ball out of 3.

Thus the total number of ways to select 5 balls with at least 3 black balls is:

5C4 × 3C1

Therefore, the total number of ways to select 5 balls with at least 3 black balls is:30 + 15 = 45.

c) The number of ways to select a digit for the units place of the 4 digit number is 3, since only 0, 5, and 9 are divisible by 10. Since no number repeats, the number of ways to select a digit for the thousands place is 5.

The remaining digits can be chosen from the remaining 4 digits (3, 7, 8, and 5) without replacement.

Thus the number of ways to form such a number is:

3 × 4 × 3 × 2 = 72.

Therefore, there are 72 four-digit numbers that are divisible by 10 and can be formed from the digits 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 0 such that no number repeats.

The profit-maximizing level of output for the firm is 30 units.

To find the profit-maximizing level of output, we need to determine the quantity at which marginal revenue (MR) equals marginal cost (MC). In this case, the demand function is given by P = 60 - Q, where P represents the price and Q represents the quantity. The total revenue (TR) can be calculated by multiplying the price and quantity: TR = P * Q.

The marginal revenue is the change in total revenue resulting from a one-unit change in quantity. In this case, MR is given by the derivative of the total revenue function with respect to quantity: MR = d(TR)/dQ. Taking the derivative of the total revenue function, we get MR = 60 - 2Q.

The variable costs per unit are Q + 6, and the total cost (TC) can be calculated by adding the fixed costs (FC) of 100 to the variable costs: TC = FC + (Q + 6) * Q.

The marginal cost is the change in total cost resulting from a one-unit change in quantity. In this case, MC is given by the derivative of the total cost function with respect to quantity: MC = d(TC)/dQ. Taking the derivative of the total cost function, we get MC = 6 + 2Q.

To find the profit-maximizing level of output, we set MR equal to MC and solve for Q:

60 - 2Q = 6 + 2Q

Simplifying the equation, we get:

4Q = 54

Q = 13.5

Since the quantity cannot be a decimal value, we round it to the nearest whole number, which is 14. Therefore, the profit-maximizing level of output for the firm is 14 units.

Evaluating f(a) for the given f(x) = (x-1)^2 and a = 9, we substitute a into the function:

f(9) = (9-1)^2 = 8^2 = 64

The correct answer is D) 64.

For the function f(x) = -4 - x^2, the domain represents all possible values of x for which the function is defined, and the range represents all possible values of f(x) that the function can produce.

The domain of f(x) = -4 - x^2 is (-∞, ∞), meaning that any real number can be plugged into the function.

To determine the range, we observe that the leading coefficient of the quadratic term (-x^2) is negative, which means the parabola opens downward. This tells us that the range will be from the maximum point of the parabola to negative infinity.

Since there is no real number that can make -x^2 equal to a positive value, the maximum point will occur when x = 0. Substituting x = 0 into the function, we find the maximum point:

f(0) = -4 - 0^2 = -4

Therefore, the range of the function is (-∞, -4).

The correct answer is B) Domain = (-∞, -4); range = (-∞, -4).

To evaluate f(a) for the given function f(x) = (x-1)^2 and a = 9, we substitute the value of a into the function. We replace x with 9, resulting in f(9) = (9-1)^2 = 8^2 = 64. Therefore, the value of f(a) is 64.

The domain of a function represents the set of all possible input values for which the function is defined. In this case, the function f(x) = -4 - x^2 has a quadratic term, which is defined for all real numbers. Therefore, the domain is (-∞, ∞), indicating that any real number can be used as an input for this function.

The range of a function represents the set of all possible output values that the function can produce. In this function, the leading coefficient of the quadratic term (-x^2) is negative, indicating that the parabola opens downward. As a result, the range will extend from the maximum point of the parabola to negative infinity.

To find the maximum point of the parabola, we can observe that the quadratic term has a coefficient of -1. Since the coefficient is negative, the maximum point occurs at the vertex of the parabola. The x-coordinate of the vertex is given by the formula x = -b / (2a), where a and b are the coefficients of the quadratic term. In this case, a = -1 and b = 0, so the x-coordinate of the vertex is x = -0 / (2 * (-1)) = 0.

Substituting x = 0 into the function, we find the corresponding y-coordinate:

f(0) = -4 - 0^2 = -4

Hence, the maximum point of the parabola is at (0, -4), and the range of the function is from negative infinity to -4.

In summary, the domain of the function f(x) = -4 - x^2 is (-∞, ∞), and the range is (-∞, -4).

There is a 53.28% probability that a COVID-19 patient will take between 3 and 4 weeks to recover.

The recovery rate of COVID-19 patients in weeks is normally distributed with a mean of 3.4 weeks and a standard deviation of 0.5 weeks.

We want to find the probability that a patient will take between 3 and 4 weeks to recover.

To solve this, we need to find the area under the normal distribution curve between the z-scores corresponding to 3 and 4 weeks.

We can calculate the z-scores using the formula:

z = (x - μ) / σ

where x is the value we are interested in, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.

For 3 weeks:

z1 = (3 - 3.4) / 0.5 = -0.8

For 4 weeks:

z2 = (4 - 3.4) / 0.5 = 1.2

We can then use a standard normal distribution table or a statistical calculator to find the probabilities associated with these z-scores.

The probability that a patient will take between 3 and 4 weeks to recover is equal to the difference between the probabilities corresponding to z1 and z2.

P(3 ≤ x ≤ 4) = P(-0.8 ≤ z ≤ 1.2)

By looking up the corresponding probabilities from the standard normal distribution table or using a statistical calculator, we find the probability to be approximately 0.5328, or 53.28%.

Therefore, there is a 53.28% probability that a COVID-19 patient will take between 3 and 4 weeks to recover.

To compute the cofactors Cij, we follow this pattern:

[tex]Cij = (-1)^{i+j} * det(Mij)[/tex]

where Mij is the matrix obtained by removing the i-th row and j-th column from matrix A.

Now let's calculate the cofactors and substitute them into the expansion formula:

Given: A point is represented in 3D Cartesian coordinates as (5, 12, 6)

To convert the coordinates of the point to cylindrical polar coordinates, we can use the following formulas.

r = √(x²+y²)θ

= tan⁻¹(y/x)z

= z

Here, x = 5, y = 12 and z = 6.

So, putting the values in the above formulas:

r = √(5²+12²) = 13θ

= tan⁻¹(12/5) = 1.1760z

= 6

Thus, the cylindrical polar coordinates of the point are (13, 1.1760, 6).

To convert the coordinates of the point to spherical polar coordinates, we can use the following formulas.

r = √(x²+y²+z²)θ

= tan⁻¹(y/x)φ

= tan⁻¹(√(x²+y²)/z)

Here, x = 5, y = 12 and z = 6.

So, putting the values in the above formulas:

r = √(5²+12²+6²)

= 17.378θ = tan⁻¹(12/5)

= 1.1760φ

= tan⁻¹(√(5²+12²)/6)

= 1.1195

Thus, the spherical polar coordinates of the point are (17.378, 1.1760, 1.1195).

The distance of the point from the origin is the value of r, which is 17.378.

Hence, the distance of the point from the origin is 17.38 (to 2 d.p.).

To sketch the surface which is described in cylindrical polar coordinates as 1, we can use the formula:

The decision rule depends on the significance level chosen for the test. If the significance level is α, a common choice is α = 0.05, the decision rule would be: Reject H0 if the test statistic is less than the critical value obtained from the appropriate distribution.

A. The null hypothesis (H0) states that the proportion of dentists who prefer the new chewing gum is 80% or greater. The alternative hypothesis (H1) contradicts the null hypothesis and states that the proportion is less than 80%. In this case, the null hypothesis is that p ≥ 0.8, and the alternative hypothesis is that p < 0.8, where p represents the true proportion of dentists who prefer the gum.

B. The decision rule depends on the significance level chosen for the test. Typically, a significance level of α = 0.05 is used, which means that the null hypothesis will be rejected if the evidence suggests that the observed proportion is significantly lower than 80%.

The limiting distribution of Zn is exponential with parameter 1, denoted as Zn ~ Exp(1).

To investigate the limiting distribution of Zn, we need to analyze the behavior of Zn as the sample size n approaches infinity. Let's break down the steps to understand the derivation.

1. Definition of Zn:

  Zn = n(Y₁ - 0), where Y₁ is the minimum of a random sample of size n.

2. Distribution of Y₁:

  Y₁ follows the exponential distribution with parameter λ = 1. The probability density function (pdf) of Y₁ is given by:

  f(y) = e^(-y), for y > 0, and 0 elsewhere.

3. Distribution of Zn:

  To find the distribution of Zn, we substitute Y₁ with its expression in Zn:

  Zn = n(Y₁ - 0) = nY₁

4. Standardization:

  To investigate the limiting distribution, we standardize Zn by subtracting its mean and dividing by its standard deviation.

  Mean of Zn:

  E(Zn) = E(nY₁) = nE(Y₁) = n * (1/λ) = n

  Standard deviation of Zn:

  SD(Zn) = SD(nY₁) = n * SD(Y₁) = n * (1/λ) = n

  Now, we standardize Zn as:

  Zn* = (Zn - E(Zn)) / SD(Zn) = (n - n) / n = 0

  Note: As n approaches infinity, the mean and standard deviation of Zn increase proportionally.

5. Limiting Distribution:

  As n approaches infinity, Zn* converges to a constant value of 0. This indicates that the limiting distribution of Zn is a degenerate distribution, which assigns probability 1 to the value 0.

6. Final Result:

  Therefore, the limiting distribution of Zn is a degenerate distribution, Zn ~ Degenerate(0).

In summary, as the sample size n increases, the minimum of the sample Y₁ multiplied by n, represented as Zn, converges in distribution to a degenerate distribution with the single point mass at 0.

Answer:cost price of Mr. Buhari's key is #32,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the cost price (CP) of Mr. Buhari's key, we can use the profit percentage and the selling price (SP) given.

Let's assume the cost price is CP.

The profit percentage is 15%, which means the profit is 15% of the cost price:

Profit = 15% of CP = 0.15 * CP

The selling price is given as #36,800.

The selling price is equal to the sum of the cost price and the profit:

SP = CP + Profit

Substituting the value of the profit:

#36,800 = CP + 0.15 * CP

Combining like terms:

#36,800 = 1.15 * CP

To find the cost price, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 1.15:

CP = #36,800 / 1.15

Calculating the result:

CP ≈ #32,000

cost price of Mr. Buhari's key is #32,000.
