Show that the two-variable function f given by f(x, y) = 2x^2 − xy is
differentiable at any point (a, b). What is the derivative of f at (a, b)?

Answers

Answer 1

The derivative of f at (a, b) is the gradient vector [4a - b, -a].

How to determine the derivative of f at (a, b)

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

f(x, y) = 2x^2 − xy

The two-variable function f(x, y) = 2x^2 - xy is differentiable at any point (a, b) if its partial derivatives exist and are continuous at that point.

This is represented as

∂f/∂x = 4x - y

∂f/∂y = -x

The derivative of f at (a, b) can be calculated by evaluating the partial derivatives of f at (a, b):

∂f/∂x(a, b) = 4a - b

∂f/∂y(a, b) = -a

Hence, the derivative of f is [4a - b, -a].

A committee of 3 is to be formed from 5 men and 6 women. (a) What is the probability that a random committee is made up of 2 women and 1 man? (b) Suppose now that the committee consists of different positions: Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, and Treasurer. What is the probability that the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson are both women and the Treasurer is a man?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.4545 = 45.45% probability that a random committee is made up of 2 women and 1 man.

b) 0.1515 = 15.15% probability that the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson are both women and the Treasurer is a man

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

If the order of the people chosen is important, we use the permutations formula. If the order is not important, we use the combinations formula.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

[tex]P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}[/tex]

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

(a) What is the probability that a random committee is made up of 2 women and 1 man?

Order is not important, so we use the combinations formula.

Desired outcomes:

2 women from a set of 6, and a men from a set of 5. So

[tex]D = C_{6,2}*C_{5,1} = \frac{6!}{2!4!}*\frac{5!}{1!4!} = 15*5 = 75[/tex]

Total outcomes:

3 people from a set of 6 + 5 = 11. So

[tex]T = C_{11,3} = \frac{11!}{3!8!} = 165[/tex]

Probability:

[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{75}{165} = 0.4545[/tex]

0.4545 = 45.45% probability that a random committee is made up of 2 women and 1 man.

(b) Suppose now that the committee consists of different positions: Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, and Treasurer. What is the probability that the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson are both women and the Treasurer is a man?

Now, the order is important, which means that we use the permutations formula.

Desired outcomes:

2 women from a set of 6, and a men from a set of 5. So

[tex]D = P_{6,2}*P_{5,1} = \frac{6!}{4!}*\frac{5!}{4!} = 30*5 = 150[/tex]

Total outcomes:

3 people from a set of 11. So

[tex]T = P_{11,3} = \frac{11!}{8!} = 990[/tex]

Probability:

[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{150}{990} = 0.1515[/tex]

0.1515 = 15.15% probability that the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson are both women and the Treasurer is a man

Given

Probabilities: 0, 0.01, 0.3, 0.6, 0.99, and 1 ---> Missing information

Required

Match the probabilities with appropriate values

(a) Impossible:

An impossible event will always have a probability of 0

(b) Occurrence is more often than not, but not extremely likely:

An event that will occur more often than not will have a probability greater than 0.5 but less than 1

However, if the likelihood is not extremely likely, the probability will be closer to 0.5 and 1.

The probability that matches this description is 0.6

(c) Occurrence is extremely unlikely, but will occur once in a while

An event that is extremely unlikely will have a value greater than 0 and the value will be very close to 0.

The probability that matches this description is 0.01

(d) A certain event:

Required

Which proportion best compares age and tattoos?

The row data represents the age range of each group while the column data represents the amount of tattoo by each group.

So, to make comparison:

You simply pick a cell data and compare it to the row total.

Take for instance

For those who have at least 1 tattoo. The proportion to use are:

170/490 --- For age range: 18 - 29

60/505 --- For age range: 30 - 29

For those without tattoo. The proportion to use are:

320/490 --- For age range: 18 - 29

445/505 --- For age range: 30 - 29
