Consider the word BRUCE. (a) In how many ways can all the letters of the word BRUCE be arranged? (b) In how many ways can the first 3 letters of the word BRUCE be arranged?
The management of a firm wishes to survey the opinions of its workers, classified as follows for the purpose of an interview:\(30 \%\) have worked for the company 5 or more years, \(28 \%\) are female,\(65 \%\) contribute to a voluntary retirement plan, and \(50 \%\) of the female workers contribute to the retirement plan. Find each probability if a worker is selected at random. (a) A male worker is selected. (b) A worker is selected who has worked for the company less than 5 yr. (c) A worker is selected who contributes to the retirement plan or is female.
It can be shown that $$(1+x)^{n}=1+n x+\frac{n(n-1)}{2 !} x^{2}+\frac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{3 !} x^{3}+\cdots$$ is true for any real number \(n\) (not just positive integer values) and any real number \(x\), where \(|x| < 1 .\) Use this series to approximate the given number to the nearest thousandth. $$(1.03)^{2}$$
It can be shown that $$(1+x)^{n}=1+n x+\frac{n(n-1)}{2 !} x^{2}+\frac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{3 !} x^{3}+\cdots$$ is true for any real number \(n\) (not just positive integer values) and any real number \(x\), where \(|x| < 1 .\) Use this series to approximate the given number to the nearest thousandth. $$(1.01)^{1.5}$$
Assume that \(n\) is a positive integer. Use mathematical induction to prove each statement S by following these steps. See Example \(I\). (a) Verify the statement for \(n=1\) (b) Write the statement for \(n=k\) (c) Write the statement for \(n=k+1\) (d) Assume the statement is true for \(n=k\). Use algebra to change the statement in part (b) to the statement in part (c). (e) Write a conclusion based on Steps (a)-(d). $$1^{3}+2^{3}+3^{3}+\cdots+n^{3}=\frac{n^{2}(n+1)^{2}}{4}$$
