Questions 1. In which base was the following calculations carried out?

4 5 = 32 2.If y varies inversely as x and x is 6 when y is 13, what is x when y is 8? 3.Suppose that youre on a game show and youre given the choice of three doors. Behind one door is a car and behind the other two doors are goats. You pick a door and the host, who knows what behind each door, opens another door to show a goat. He says, Do you want to switch doors? Should you switch? Calculate the probability whether you should switch or not. 4.A ship sails 150km on a bearing of 073 degrees and then 200km of a bearing of 115 degrees. How far east has the ship gone from its starting point. 5. Draw the orthagonal projection for this picture.

6. Ali walked 264 steps from his house 270* to a nearby shop. Then he went to his friends house located 315* from his house. How far is the shop from his friends house and his house? How should he get back to his house using the shortest distance? What bearing should he be heading? (Given 3 step is 80 cm) Give your answer in SI units.

Answers
1. Base 6

2.

x = 9.75

3. Initial set-up assuming that youve pick Door #1 and before the host shows

you whats behind another door Assuming that the car can be behind any one of the three doors and that the host is equally likely to show you whats behind either Door #2 or Door #3, the marginal probabilities on the outside of the joint probability table must be the following: Car Behind Door Door #1 Door #2 Door #3 P(Host Shows Door) Host Shows You Door Door #2 Door #3 P(Car Behind Door) P(Car D1)=1/3 P(Car D2)=1/3 P(Car D3)=1/3 P(Shows D2)=1/2 P(Shows D2)=1/2

The car either is as likely to be behind the door that you picked as it is to not be behind the door that you picked, so one set of joint probabilities must be: Car Behind Door Door #1 Door #2 Door #3 P(Host Shows Door) 1 Door #2 1/6 Door #3 1/6 P(Car Behind Door) P(Car D1)=1/3 P(Car D2)=1/3 P(Car D3)=1/3 P(Shows D2)=1/2

P(Shows D2)=1/2

If the host shows you whats behind door #2, then the car must not be behind it. If the host shows you whats behind door #3, then the car must not be behind it. So, the remaining set of joint probabilities must be: Car Behind Door Door #1 Door #2 Door #3 P(Host Shows Door) 1 Door #2 Door #3 P(Car Behind Door) 1/6 1/6 P(Car D1)=1/3 0 1/3 P(Car D2)=1/3 1/3 0 P(Car D3)=1/3 P(Shows D2)=1/2 P(Shows D2)=1/2

Now, the host shows you whats behind a door (assume that its door #2) and asks, Do you want to switch doors (from door #1 to door #3)? P(Car Behind Door #1 | Host Shows Door #2) = P(Car D1 | Shows D2) = P(Car D1 Shows D2)/P(Shows D2) = (1/6)/(1/2) = 1/3

P(Car Behind Door #3 | Host Shows Door #2) = P(Car D3 | Shows D2) = P(Car D3 Shows D2)/P(Shows D2) = (1/3)/(1/2) = 2/3 Since P(Car Behind Door #1 | Host Shows Door #2) < P(Car Behind Door #3 | Host Shows Door #2), you should switch from door #1 to door #3.
4. A be first stop and B the last stop. If you draw this triangle, the top angle is 138 , length

OA=150, AB=200 Let length OB=x and using cosine rule then x = 150 + 200 - 2(150)(200)cos(138) x = OB = 327.24 Let's find angle at O = ( sin138 / 327.24 ) = sin / 200 = 24.14, therefore AngleB = 180-24.14-138 = 17.86 The acute angle B makes with the horizontal = 90-17.86 = 72.14 The horizontal distance from B to 0 is 327.24 cos(72.14) = 100.362 km 5.

6. Distance from friend house to shop = 100m Distance from his house to shop = 140.716m Bearing from shop to house = 135*
