One bite-sized math problem set for the day. Solve the 10 multiple-choice problems and reveal the worked solutions.
A two-way table: What fraction of all respondents are in row Y?
Row Y total . Grand total .
Fraction .
Two angles lie on a straight line. One is . The other is:
.
Let . What is ?
Write and apply the product rule, using the chain rule on the square root.
At , .
The masses of eggs from a farm are normally distributed with mean g and standard deviation g. An egg is graded medium if its mass exceeds g and large if its mass exceeds g. Given that a randomly chosen egg is medium, find the probability that it is also large.
Standardize the two cut-offs: Since being large guarantees being medium, the conditional probability is
In the expansion of , what is the coefficient of the term?
The general term is For the term, set the exponent of equal to : Substitute : So the coefficient is
A line perpendicular to passing through the origin has slope:
.
The numbers , , are in arithmetic progression (in this order). Determine .
.
The value of is:
Using the closed forms and , the difference is .
Use integration by parts to evaluate
Let and , so and .
By parts, :
The remaining integral gives , so the antiderivative is
Evaluate from to :
Hence the value is
The geometric series converges. What is its sum?
Factor the -th term to expose the first term and the ratio:
So the first term is (the value) and the common ratio is
Since , the series converges to
