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 …
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 choosi…
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 prob…

Differentiate the following function
A box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 13,500 cm³. Find the dimensions that minimise the amount of material used. Ensure you show your working to demonstrate that it is a minimum.
Consider the equation, f(x) = x*. (a) Using the trapezoidal method with 3 columns, estimate the value of the integral f² f(x)dx. (b) Using the trapezoidal method with 10 columns, estimate the value of the integral f² f(x)dx. You many need software to help you do this (e.g. MATLAB, Excel, Google sheets). (c) Use software to accurately calculate the integral (e.g. Wolfram alpha, Matlab). Using this answer, comment on the answers you found in parts a) and b).
