In this question, you are asked to comment on a student's attempt at answering the question detailed below. Read the question and the student's incorrect attempt first, then answer the questions below. The Question Ronan is building an extension to his house to facilitate a social space and games room. One of his passions is watching sport on a big screen, so he has purchased a wide-lens home cinema projector that he can connect to his laptop, instead of buying a large-screen TV. Having read the manufacturer's guide extensively, and researched his options on the internet for optimising picture quality, he decides that he would like to have a viewing area equivalent to having a 120-inch TV mounted on the wall. This means that the width of the viewing area will be 108 inches. The projector has a wide lens that covers an angle of 72°. He needs to position the projector centrally with respect to the viewing area, on a stand that you may assume is at the correct height for optimum picture…
Sessa, an ancient wise man, visited the king of his nation and showed him a new game. The board was 8 squares by 8 squares. Two players would be given 16 pieces each, lined up on either side of the board. The pieces moved in set ways, and the purpose of the game was to move your pieces to trap the King piece of the other player. As you have probably figured out, Sessa invented chess. His king was utterly delighted at the game - war without bloodshed! - and asked Sessa what he would like in return. In the ancient bombastic style, the King said the request could include up to half of his kingdom. (That was not meant literally.) Sessa asked for the game board to be brought before him. "Highness," he said, "I ask for a grain of rice on the first square. Tomorrow, two grains of rice on the second square. The day after, 4 grains of rice on the third square. On the fourth day, 8 grains of rice. And so on, until the board is full in two months." The king and his ministers laughed…

The kindergartners and first and second graders were talking about their favorite field trips during the school year. One of the teachers, Ms. Brewer, turned the discussion into a math lesson, and the students conducted a survey. Each child wrote down on paper which trip was his or her favorite. (Note that many children named more than one field trip as their favorite.) The survey revealed that 55 wrote down the trip to the river, 48 indicated the trip to the police station, and 38 included the trip to the hardware store. The police station and the river were chosen on 32 papers, 26 papers included both the river and the hardware store, and 22 children wrote down the police station and the hardware store on their papers. Ms. Burke counted 17 papers that included all three and one that did not list any of the three trips. How many children were surveyed? How many children wrote down the river but not the police station? How many children did not list the hardware store?
I don't believe this answer is correct. Wouldn't it be "not enough information given to determine"? $12 is not the answer to this question.
For this problem, assume Gwen and Harry have 5 types of cones and 11 flavors of ice cream. (1) In how many different ways can your order one cone and two scoops of ice cream? (As in the book, putting one flavor on top of another is different from putting them the other way around.) (2) In how many different ways can your order one cone and two scoops of ice cream which are not the same flavor?
What do you think is the best way of sorting out these type of questions. When I'm studying I somehow always mix up negative and positive values or get something off somehow. so that I get one part wrong which leads to getting another part wrong and so on. I understand the concept of elimination and subsition but I can't seem to carry it out very well.
Professor Hermann gives his class 12 potential test questions, he will then put 5 of the 12 questions on the real test. In how many ways can Professor Hermann make up the test?
A test contains 12 problems. The teacher gives 24 points for each correctly solved problem and withdraws 15 points for incorrectly solved problems. If a problem is not solved it is considered incorrect. Ron claims he got a zero for the test. That is impossible says Mia. Is there any reason for mia to say that?
