Problem 2. A trough full of water is shaped like an isosceles triangular prism 10 feet long, 4 feet high, and 2 feet wide at the top. a. First the trough is being emptied of the water it contains. Find the rate, in inch/min, at which the water should be pumped out, so that the hight of the water level decreases at the rate of 5 inch/min when the water is 3ft high; b. Then the trough is filled with seeds. Find the rate, in inch2/min, at which the surface area of the exposed seeds is changing when the trough is half hight full, if the seeds are poured in at the rate of 1000 inch3/min. 2
Addition Rule of Probability
It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.
Expected Value
When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known as the expectation, is denoted by: E(X).
Probability Distributions
Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosing a card. Each of these events has multiple possibilities. Every such possibility is measured with the help of probability. To be more precise, the probability is used for calculating the occurrence of events that may or may not happen. Probability does not give sure results. Unless the probability of any event is 1, the different outcomes may or may not happen in real life, regardless of how less or how more their probability is.
Basic Probability
The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the probability value 1 indicates that the event will occur. Sum of the probability value must be 1. The probability value is never a negative number. If it happens, then recheck the calculation.
Problem 2 Parts A and B please
![Problem 2. A trough full of water is shaped like an isosceles triangular prism
10 feet long, 4 feet high, and 2 feet wide at the top.
a. First the trough is being emptied of the water it contains. Find the rate,
in inch/min, at which the water should be pumped out, so that the hight of
the water level decreases at the rate of 5 inch/min when the water is 3ft high;
b. Then the trough is filled with seeds. Find the rate, in inch2/min, at
which the surface area of the exposed seeds is changing when the trough is half
hight full, if the seeds are poured in at the rate of 1000 inch3/min.
