Answer to Problem 1E

The number of four digit numbers is 625.

Explanation of Solution

Procedure used:

Multiplication principle:

When a task has p outcomes and, no matter what the outcome of the first task, a second task has some q outcomes, then the two tasks performed consecutively will have p×q outcomes.

Calculation:

It is given that the four-digit number has to be formed from amongst the five digits.

As no property holds, each digit place of the four-digit number will be any of the five digits.

Hence, the number of four digit numbers becomes

5_ 5_ 5_ 5_=5555            (Every position in the numberhas 5 choices)=625

Therefore, the number of four digit numbers is 625.

To determine

To count: The number of four-digit numbers whose digits are 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 and the property of the digits being distinct, holds.

Answer to Problem 1E

The number of four digit numbers is 120.

Explanation of Solution

Procedure used:

Multiplication principle:

When a task has p outcomes and, no matter what the outcome of the first task, a second task has some q outcomes, then the two tasks performed consecutively will have p×q outcomes.

Calculation:

It is given that the four-digit number has to be formed from amongst the five digits.

As property of the digit being distinct holds, each digit place of the four-digit number will be any of the five digits but one less from the previous in the next place.

Hence, the number of four digit numbers becomes

5_ 4_ 3_ 2_=5432            (Every position in the numberhas one less choice from the previous)=120

Therefore, the number of four digit numbers is 120.

To determine

To count: The number of four-digit numbers whose digits are 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 and the property of the number being even.

Answer to Problem 1E

The number of four digit numbers is 250.

Explanation of Solution

Procedure used:

Multiplication principle:

When a task has p outcomes and, no matter what the outcome of the first task, a second task has some q outcomes, then the two tasks performed consecutively will have p×q outcomes.

Calculation:

It is given that the four-digit number has to be formed from amongst the five digits.

As the property of the number being even holds, each digit place of the four-digit number will be any of the five digits except at unit’s place.

The unit’s place of the numbers will carry even digits that are 2 and 4.

Hence, the number of four digit numbers becomes

5_ 5_ 5_ 2_=5552            (Every position in the numberhas 5 choices except at unit's place)=250

Therefore, the number of four digit numbers is 250.

To determine

To count: The number of four-digit numbers whose digits are 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 and both the properties hold.

Answer to Problem 1E

The number of four digit numbers is 48.

Explanation of Solution

Procedure used:

Multiplication principle:

When a task has p outcomes and, no matter what the outcome of the first task, a second task has some q outcomes, then the two tasks performed consecutively will have p×q outcomes.

Calculation:

It is given that the four-digit number has to be formed from amongst the five digits.

As both the properties hold, each digit place of the four-digit number will be any of the five digits.

However, the choices for the unit’s place are 2 and the choices for other places starts from 4 and ends at 2.

Hence, the number of four digit numbers becomes

4_ 3_ 2_ 2_=4322            (Unit's place has 2 choices, otherplaces have (51=4) choicesbut different)=48

Therefore, the number of four digit numbers is 48.

1. Iodine-131 is tone of the most commonly used radioactive isotopes of iodine. It is used to treat hyper- thyroidism and some kinds of thyroid cancer. (a) Iodine-131 has a half-life of about 8 days. Find an expression for I(t), the mass of Iodine-131 remaining after t days, in terms of t and Io, the initial mass of Iodine-131 present at time t = 0. (b) If a dose of 0.9 mg of Iodine-131 is administered, how much is still present after 24 hours? (c) How much Iodine-131 is present after one week? Does your answer make sense?
Question 2: When John started his first job, his first end-of-year salary was $82,500. In the following years, he received salary raises as shown in the following table. Fill the Table: Fill the following table showing his end-of-year salary for each year. I have already provided the end-of-year salaries for the first three years. Calculate the end-of-year salaries for the remaining years using Excel. (If you Excel answer for the top 3 cells is not the same as the one in the following table, your formula / approach is incorrect) (2 points) Geometric Mean of Salary Raises: Calculate the geometric mean of the salary raises using the percentage figures provided in the second column named “% Raise”. (The geometric mean for this calculation should be nearly identical to the arithmetic mean. If your answer deviates significantly from the mean, it's likely incorrect. 2 points)   Starting salary % Raise Raise Salary after raise 75000 10% 7500 82500 82500 4% 3300…
