Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

A smallish urn contains 25 small plastic bunnies – 7 of which are pink and 18 of which are white. 10 bunnies are drawn from the urn at random with replacement, and X is the number of pink bunnies that are drawn. (a) P(X = 5) ≈ (b) P(X<6) ≈ The Whoville small urn contains 100 marbles – 60 blue and 40 orange. The Grinch sneaks in one night and grabs a simple random sample (without replacement) of 15 marbles.  (a) The probability that the Grinch gets exactly 6 blue marbles is         [ Select ]      ["≈ 0.054", "≈ 0.043", "≈ 0.061"]  .

Using Karnaugh maps and Gray coding, reduce the following circuit represented as a table and write the final circuit in simplest form (first in terms of number of gates then in terms of fan-in of those gates).
Consider the alphabet {a, b, c}.• Design a regular expression that recognizes all strings over {a, b, c} that have at least three nonconsec-utive c characters (two characters are non-consecutive if there is at least one character between them)and at least one a character.• Explain how your regular expression recognizes the string cbbcccac by clearly identifying which partsof the string match to the components of your regular expression
