There are some experiment in which the outcomes cannot be identified discretely. For example, an ellipse of eccentricity 2sqrt(2)//3 is inscribed in a circle and a point within the circle is chosen at random. Now, we want to find the probability that this point lies outside the ellipse. Then, the point must lie in the shaded region shown in Figure. Let the radius of the circle be a and length of minor axis of the ellipse be 2b. Given that1 - (b^(2))/(a^(2)) = (8)/(9) or (b^(2))/(a^(2)) = (1)/(9)Then, the area of circle serves as sample space and area of the shaded region represents the area for favorable cases. Then, required probability is p= ("Area of shaded region")/("Area of circle")=(pia^(2) - piab)/(pia^(2)) = 1 - (b)/(a) = 1 - (1)/(3) = (2)/(3)Now, answer the following questions.Two persons A and B agree to meet at a place between 5 and 6 pm. The first one to arrive waits for 20 min and then leave. If the time of their arrival be independant and at random, then the probability that A and B meet is

Answer» <P>`1//3` `1//3` `2//3` `5//9` Solution : Let A and B arrive at the place of their meeting 'a' minute and 'b' minute after 5 pm. Their meeting is possible only if `\|a-b\|le20` Clearly, `0le a le 60` and `0 le b le 60`.Therefore, a and b can be selected as an ordered pair (a,b) from the set `[0.60] xx [0.60]`.Alternatively, it is equivalent to select a POINT (a, b) from the square OPQR, where P is (60, 0) and R is (0, 60) in the Cartesian plane. Now, `\|a-b\| le 20 implies - 20 le a -b le 20` Therefore, points (a, b) satisfy the EQUATION `-20 le x - y le 20`.Hence, favorable condition is equivalent to selecting a point from the region BOUNDED by `y le x + 20` and `y ge x - 20`. Therefore, the required probability is `("Area of OABQCDO")/("Area of square OPQR")=([Ar(OPQR) - 2Ar(DeltaAPB)])/(Ar(OPQR))` `=(60 xx 60 - (2)/(2) xx 40 xx 40)/(60 xx 60) = (5)/(9)`

A poor , frustrated artist named Fresco created a plan to make money. He collected trash, repurposed it into sculptures, then asked various celebrities to write and paint on these trash objects, which he then sold on his own as modern high art. The chart below separately showsthe cost and revenue of his plan. The linear cost function, C(x) , represents the total money spent to make and market the art , while the linear revenue function, R(x) , shows the amount of money he has made in sculpture sales. Fresco initially spent money promoting the project in the media . He also had to pay the celebrities to participate . After 6 months , Fresco had created and sold x number of trash sculptures and finally broke even : he hadn't made or lost any money . How many sculptures did Fresco sell in his first 6 months of the project ?

The linear cost function, C(x) , represents the total money spent to make and market the art , while the linear revenue function, R(x) , shows the amount of money he has made in sculpture sales. The cost function in the chart is determined by a constant production cost per sculpture - in this case, the amount Fresco pays each celebrity to participate - as well as a fixed cost , or the initial cost of promoting the project . What is the fixed cost of Fresco's trash sculpture project ?
