In a classic study in the are of problem solving, Katona (1940) compared the effectiveness of two methods of instruction. One group of participants was shown the exact, step-by-step procedure for solving a problem and was required to memorize the solution. Participants in a second group were encouraged to study the problem and find the solution of their own. They were given helpful hints and clues, but the exact solution was never explained. The study included the problem in the following figure showing a pattern of five squares made of matchsticks. The problem is to change the pattern into exactly four squares by moving only thee matches. (All matches must be used, non can be removed, and all the squares must be the same size.) After 3 weeks, both groups returned to be tested again. The two groups did equally well on the matchstick problem they had learned earlier. But when they were given new problems (similar to the matchstick problem), the memorization group had much lower scores…
Remark:You will have 5 questions regarding the same problem but in each question the numbers will be different An advertising company offer three types of mediums: television, newspaper and radio. The cost for each medium with its audience coverage is given below. Television Newspaper Radio Cost per advertisement ($) 1900 1000 100 Audience per advertisement 93,000 38,000 15,000 The company is capable of using a number of newspaper advertisement slots up to 13. Moreover, in order to balance the advertising among the three types of media, the total number of advertisements on radio should not occur more than 45% of total number of advertisement and at least 12% of the total number of advertisements should occur on television. The weekly advertising budget is $23800. How many advertisements should be run in each of the three types of media to maximize the total audience? If we assume the number of ads on each type of meduim as follows : T, N, R respectively Given the following objective…
a.) Make a list of the amounts of money one can have that cannot be reduced to a smaller number of coins. (Hint: there are seven possible amounts.) One of the amounts is (d+e). b.) Make an addition table for Glosian money. It should be a seven by seven table, with a row and column for each of the amounts you found in the previous problem. For example, your table shouldshow that (d+e)+d=f c.) One of the seven amounts you found in the previous problem can be considered to be the zero of Glosian money, since adding it to a collection of coins does not change the collection’s value (after trading to get the smallest possible number of coins, of course.) Which amount is the zero forGlosian money? d.) The opposite of an amount is the amount you add to it to get the zero. Find the opposite of each of the seven amounts.
City A lies on the north bank of a river that is 1 mile wide. You need to run a phone cable from City A to City B, which lies on the opposite bank a miles down the river. You will lay L miles of the cable along the north shore of the river, and from the end of that stretch of cable you will lay W miles of cable running under water directly toward City B. (See the figure below.) City A 1 mile 10 a miles You will need the following fact about right triangles: A right triangle has two legs, which meet at the right angle, and the hypotenuse, which is the longest side. An ancient and beautiful formula, the Pythagorean theorem, relates the lengths of the three sides: Length of hypotenuse = √Length of one leg2+ Length of other leg².

hi! I am working on thismath problem but I am quite confused about how to solve it.
Can you help me with this pls ?
(Devore Section 2.3 #30) A friend of mine is giving a dinner party. His current wine supply includes 8 bottles of zinfandel, 10 of merlot, and 12 of cabernet (he only drinks red wine), all from different wineries. (a) If he wants to serve 3 bottles of zinfandel and serving order is important, how many ways are there to do this? (b) If 6 bottles of wine are to be randomly selected from the 30 for serving, how many ways are there to do this? (c) If 6 bottles are randomly selected, how many ways are there to obtain two bottles of each variety? (d) If 6 bottles are randomly selected, what is the probability that this results in two bottles of each variety being chosen? (e) If 6 bottles are randomly selected, what is the probability that all of them are the same variety?
