Chapter 3: Problem 14

a) How many subsets of \(\\{1,2,3, \ldots, 11\\}\) contain at least one even integer? b) How many subsets of \(\\{1,2,3, \ldots, 12\\}\) contain at least one even integer? c) Generalize the results of parts (a) and (b).

Short Answer

Expert verified
a) The total subsets containing at least one even integer for the set {1, 2, 3, ..., 11} is \(2^{11} - 2^6 = 2016\). b) For the set {1, 2, 3, ..., 12}, the total subsets is \(2^{12} - 2^6 = 4032\). c) Generalized formula: For a set {1, 2, 3, ...., n} with n>=2 the number of subsets with at least one even number is \(2^n - 2^{\frac{n}{2}}\) for even n and \(2^n - 2^{\frac{n-1}{2}}\) for odd n.

Step by step solution

01

Identify Total Subsets

First, calculate the total number of subsets for the set {1, 2, 3, ...., 11}. This is found by \(2^n\), where n is the number of elements in the set. So for 11 elements, we get \(2^{11}\) total subsets.
02

Find Subsets Without Any Even Numbers

Now, find the total number of subsets that do not contain an even number. This would be subsets of odd numbers only, {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11}, a set of 6 elements. Using the same formula, we get \(2^6\) subsets.
03

Subtract To Find Subsets with Even Numbers

To find the total number of subsets that contain at least one even number, subtract the total subsets of odd numbers from the total subsets. Thus the result will be \(2^{11} - 2^6\). Repeat the same process for the set {1, 2, 3, ...., 12}.
04

Generalize the Results

On the basis of observations in step 1 to 3 for the cases 11 and 12, we can generalize that the number of subsets with at least one even number for a set {1, 2, 3, ...., n} with n>=2 is given by the formula \(2^n - 2^{\frac{n}{2}}\) for even n and \(2^n - 2^{\frac{n-1}{2}}\) for odd n.

Suppose that a random variable \(X\) has mean \(E(X)=17\) and variance \(\operatorname{Var}(X)=9\), but its probability distribution is unknown. Use Chebyshev's Inequality to estimate a lower bound for (a) \(\operatorname{Pr}(11 \leq X \leq 23)\); (b) \(\operatorname{Pr}(10 \leq X \leq 24)\); and (c) \(\operatorname{Pr}(8 \leq X \leq 26)\).

The probability that a certain mechanical component fails when first used is \(0.05\). If the component does not fail immediately, the probability it will function correctly for at least one year is \(0.98\). What is the probability that a new component functions correctly for at least one year?

A set \(A\) has 128 subsets of even cardinality. (a) How many subsets of \(A\) have odd cardinality? (b) What is \(|A| ?\)

How many arrangements of the letters in CHEMIST have H before \(\mathrm{E}\), or E before \(\mathrm{T}\), or T before M? (Here "before" means anywhere before, not just immediately before.)

A carnival game invites a player to select one card from a standard deck of 52 cards. If the card is a seven or a jack the player is given five dollars. For a king or an ace the player is given eight dollars. The other 36 cards result in the player losing. How much should one be willing to pay to play this game so that it is fair - that is, so that the expected value of the player's net winnings is \(0 ?\)
