Concerning that probability issue,
.
Three digit numbers will have unit's, ten's and hundred's place.

Out of 5 given digits any one can take the unit's place.

This can be done in 5 ways ------- (i)
After filling the unit's place, any of the four remaining digits can take the ten's place.
This can be done in 4 ways ------- (ii)
After filling in ten's place, hundred's place can be filled from any of the three remaining digits.
This can be done in 3 ways ------- (iii)
=> By counting principle, the number of 3 digit numbers =5×4×3= 60

Did you consider both multiple of 5, odd number and the formula for independent events?

2) The function f is known to have a second derivative with the property that /f"(x)/ < 12
For x between 2 and 3. Using the error bound giving earlier in this section determine how many sub intervals are required so that the composite trapezieum rule used to approximate integral 5-2 f(x)dx


4) The function f is known to have a forth derivative with the property that f^(iv) (x)<6
For x between -1 and 5. Determine how many sub intervals are required so that the composite trapezium rule use to approximate integral 5 - (-2) f(x)dx incurs an error that is less than 0.001.
There is no error bound in question 2.

Question 4 looks... strange.
Usually the fourth derivative is used to calculate the error bound using Simpson's Rule, but it is required here to use the Trapezoid Rule.
Should I go ahead and use the formula for Simpson's Rule here?
Or is there something I'm missing.
AgentOfChange1, Can you help out?

Ok pls can we assume error bound for question 2 so that wen I see one with error bound I will b able to solve it the exam is tomorrow thanks bro and also the question 4 is correct that's what the question state

ok. Thank God you said scarcely, not completely. My time here is somehow irregular. Most of the times, I come to see new questions and solutions. If I see an unsolved one that is not too trivial and interests me, then I'll go for it. Questions like Perm and Combination, simultaneous solution of 4x+6y=100 and x+y=5 do not interest me.

Some of the questions that I post is for others to learn. Under normal circumstances, elementary university maths treat conic sections at the surface level. That question requires knowledge of rotation of axes. You'll agree with me that sometimes we do have an unnecessarily long solution. In other words, i'm looking for shorter solutions, that is why I seek for other people's POV.

Don't feel that you're doing me a favour by solving the question. It is not about me. Other peoples are learning too. Gracias.

He did 1 and 3 But he said he doesnot understand question 4 especially how to go about solving it and he said question 2 does not have error bound so I said he should assume an error bound so that I will be able to solve if eventually given in exam with error bound too


So pls can u help me sove question 2 using an assumed error bound and also question 4.

that question is the same as ''probability that it is an odd number.'' probability= event occurence/sample space.


We have three boxes to be filled with the figures 1,2,4,5,6 without replacement. The last box only has 2 choices 1 and 5.
So, if the last box is 1, then we feed the other two boxes with 4 figures. No of ways this can be done is 4P2=12
Occurence= 4P2*2=24.
Sample space is 5P3=60

probability = 24/60=2/5.

Hmmmmmmmm. Someone should correct me, please.

ok sir

we gat basically two types of errors when using trapezoidal rule

local error ,

e = -1/12 *h^3 f' ' '(α) : x1<α<x2

&
Global error ,

e= -1/12 * n f' ' ' (α) : x1<α<xn


guess this helps

You used the third derivative?
Isn't it the second derivative for the trapezoid rule and the fourth derivative for Simpson's rule?

wow. I'm not always sure of this topic.

Seriously, na just brain I dey use answer Permutation and Combination problems. I dislike questions that I gaze for like 10 mins before attempting the solution. I prefer to start putting something down the first minute I look at the question, even if it will take me 30mins to solve. I call it Solution Assured.

c'mmon bro, the question says no repetition

5C3 means total number of ways we could form the 3-digit number without repetition

421 (124) ,521(125) , 621( 126) already exist in the sample space.




Let me follow your argument to see if it holds water:
you gave your sample space as
S={(124),(125),(126),(245),(246),(145),
(156),(645),(641),(265)}.

Following your logic,
S={(124),(512),(126),(524),(246),(514),(156),(564),(164),(526)} because, for instance, 125 and 512 are the same numbers without repetition (whatever that means).

So, probability = 0/10=0.

Contradiction!
