a.
To find: the probability of winning, given the condition you guess the position of each digit.
a.

Answer to Problem 43E
Explanation of Solution
Given:
You are given five digits to arrange in the proper order to form the price of a car. If you are correct, you win the car
Let E be the event that you guess the position of each digit correctly.
Since, there is only 1 possible way that all digits are in correct order. So,
Total possible number of ways to choose 5 digits is:
Thus, the probability of winning, given the condition you guess the position of each digit exam is:
b.
To find: the probability of winning, given the condition you know the first digit and guess the positions of the other digits.
b.

Answer to Problem 43E
Explanation of Solution
Given:
You are given five digits to arrange in the proper order to form the price of a car. If you are correct, you win the car
Let E be the event that you know the first digit and guess the positions of the other digits correctly.
Since, there is only 1 possible way that all digits are in correct order. So,
Total possible number of ways to choose the other 4 digits is:
Thus, the probability of winning, given the condition you guess the position of each digit exam is:

- A 20 foot ladder rests on level ground; its head (top) is against a vertical wall. The bottom of the ladder begins by being 12 feet from the wall but begins moving away at the rate of 0.1 feet per second. At what rate is the top of the ladder slipping down the wall?
