Chapter 15: Q3P (page 742)

A bank allows one person to have only one savings account insured to $100,000.However, a larger family may have accounts for each individual, and also accountingthe names of any 2 people, any 3 and so on. How many accounts are possible for afamily of 2? Of 3? Of 5? Of? Hint: See Problem 2.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

The number of accounts for a family of 2 is 3,family of 3 is 7,family of 5 is 31 and a family of n is 2n-1.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The total number of combinations ofthings taken 1, 2, 3, 路 路 路 ,at a time, is2n-1.

02

Definition of Independent Event

When the order of arrangement is definite, the permutation is applied and when the order is not definite, combination is applied.

03

Find the total number of accounts for family of 2,3, 5 and 

Substitute 2 for n into2n-1and simplify to obtain the number of accounts for a family of 2.

22-1-4-1-3

Substitute 3 for n into2n-1and simplify to obtain the number of accounts for a family of 3.

23-1=8-1-7

Substitute 5 for n into2n-1and simplify to obtain the number of accounts for a family of 5.

25-1=32-1=31

It can be observed that the number of accounts for a family of n is 2n-1.

Set up an appropriate sample space for each of Problems 1.1 to 1.10 and use itto solve the problem. Use either a uniform or non-uniform sample space or try both.

An integer is chosen at random with 1猢�N猢�100. What is the probability that is divisible by 11? ThatN>90 ? That N猢�3? That is a perfect square?

(a) In Example, 5a mathematical model is discussed which claims to give a distribution of identical balls into boxes in such a way that all distinguishable arrangements are equally probable (Bose-Einstein statistics). Prove this by showing that the probability of a distribution of N balls into n boxes (according to this model) with N1 balls in the first box, N2in the second, 路路路 , Nn in thenth , is1C(n鈭�1+N,N) for any set of numbers Ni such thatNi鈭�i=1nNi=N.

b) Show that the model in (a) leads to Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics if the drawn card is replaced (but no extra card added) and to Fermi-Dirac statistics if the drawn card is not replaced. Hint: Calculate in each case the number of possible arrangements of the balls in the boxes. First do the problem of 4particles in 6boxes as in the example, and then do N particles in n boxes (n>N ) to get the results in Problem19 .

A so-called 7-way lamp has three 60-watt bulbs which may be turned on one or two or all three at a time, and a large bulb which may be turned to 100 watts, 200 watts or300 watts. How many different light intensities can the lamp be set to give if the completely off position is not included? (The answer is not 7.)

Two decks of cards are 鈥渕atched,鈥� that is, the order of the cards in the decks is compared by turning the cards over one by one from the two decks simultaneously; a 鈥渕atch鈥� means that the two cards are identical. Show that the probability of at least one match is nearly.1鈭�1/e

Given a family of two children (assume boys and girls equally likely, that is, probability for each), what is the probability 1/2 that both are boys? That at least one is a girl? Given that at least one is a girl, what is the probability that both are girls? Given that the first two are girls, what is the probability that an expected third child will be a boy?
