Question
Three integers are chosen at random from the first 20 integers. The probability that their product is even is,
  1. $\frac{2}{19}$
  2. $\frac{3}{29}$
  3. $\frac{17}{19}$
  4. $\frac{4}{19}$

Answer

  1. $\frac{17}{19}$
Soluction:
Required probability that product of two integers should be even.
10 integers are odd out of first 20 integers.
Required probability = 1 - Probability of product is odd
Product of three integers is odd if two numbers are odd
Required probability $=1-\frac{10}{20}\times\frac{9}{19}\times\frac{8}{18}=\frac{17}{19}$

Apply linear programming to this problem. A firm wants to determine how many units of each of two products (products D and E) they should produce to make the most money. The profit in the manufacture of a unit of product D is 100 and the profit in the manufacture of a unit of product E is100 and the profit in the manufacture of aunit of product E is 87. The firm is limited by its total available labor hours and total available machine hours. The total labor hours per week are 4,000. Product D takes 5 hours per unit of labor and product E takes 7 hours per unit. The total machine hours are 5,000 per week. Product D takes 9 hours per unit of machine time and product E takes 3 hours per unit. Which of the following is one of the constraints for this linear program?
  1. $5\text{D}+7\text{E}\leq5,000$
  2. $9\text{D}+3\text{E}\geq4,000$
  3. $5\text{D}+7\text{E}=4,000$
