A fruit grower packs apples in boxes. Each box contains at least 200 apples and at most 210 apples. How many boxes must be selected to be certain that at least three boxes contain the same number of apples?
Homework Answers
First, there are 11 different possible boxes, 200, 201, etc, all the way up to 210
To guarantee at least two boxes with the same number of apples, you need 12 boxes, because otherwise it is possible, no matter how unlikely, that you merely have one of each, no duplicates.
To see how many are necessary to guarantee a triplication, consider that there are also 11 possible pairs, that is, configurations where two are the same. Since it is possible, with 22 boxes, that you have 11 pairs, not one triplicate, it takes 23 boxes to guarantee one.

ALTICE ANOTHER A fruit grower raises two crops, apples and peaches. Each of these crops is sent to three different outlets for sale. These outlets are The Farmer's Market, The Fruit Sand, and The Fruit Farm. The numbers of bushels of apples sent to the three outlets are 140, 90, and 60, respectively. The numbers of bushels of peaches sent to the three outlets are 85, 195, and 125, respectively. The prolt per bushel for apples is $5.00 and the...

we have four boxes. box #1 contains 2000 components of which 100 are defective. Box #2 contains 500 components of which 200 are defective. boxes #3 and #4 each contain 1000 components with 100 of them being defective. a box is selected by ruling a fair four sided die and then a single item is randomly chosen from the box. a.What is the probability that the selected component is defective? b. if the selected item is defective, find the probability...

Three boxes each contain a number of billiard balls. One box contains only even-numbered balls, one box contains only odd numbered billiard balls, and the third box contains a mixture of odd and even numbered balls. All the boxes are mislabeled. By selecting one ball from only one of the boxes, can you correctly label the three boxes? Explain why or why not.

The labels on boxes of Cheesy Poofs say that the box contains 16 ounces of Cheesy Poofs, but that doesn’t guarantee that each box contains exactly 16.00 ounces. The machine that fills the boxes doesn’t always put out the exact same amount. The amount in each box is Normally distributed, and has a standard deviation is .40 ounces. To help assure that most boxes contain as much or more than the label says, the machine is set so that the...

How many ways are there to select 6 pieces of fruit from a huge box containing apples, oranges, lemons, and grapefruits? (The order in which the pieces are selected does not matter, only the type of fruit and not the individual pieces matter, and there are a lot more than 6 pieces of each fruit in the box.)

58. Cereal A company's cereal boxes advertise that each box contains 9.65 ounces of cereal. In fact, the amount of cereal in a randomly selected box follows a Normal distribution with mean μ 9.70 ounces and standard deviation σ = 0,03 ounce. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected box of the cereal contains less than 9.65 ounces of cereal? (b) Now take an SRS of 5 boxes. What is the probability that the mean amount of cereal...

Question 29 (4 points) Two boxes each contain five numbered balls: • Box 1 contains balls with numbers 3, 3, 3, 4, 5 • Box 2 contains balls with numbers 1, 1, 2, 2, 2 (a) You will randomly select one ball from each box. Let X be the difference between the numbers selected from the first and second box. Find the probability distribution of X. You can simply list the probabilities for each possible value of X instead of...

(25) A game has two boxes as follows: Box A initially contains 2 white balls Box B initially contains 3 red balls. At each step in the game, 1 ball is selected at random from each box and the 2 balls are interchanged. Thus, Box A always contains 2 balls, and Box B always contains 3 balls. The game continues indefinitely. The game may be described by a Markov chain having three states: S0,S1,S2, whose subscript denotes the number of...

We have 2 boxes, each containing 3 balls. Box number 1 contains one black and two white balls; box number 2 contains two black and one white ball. Our friend chooses one of the boxes at random, probability of choosing box number 1 is p. Then he takes one ball from a chosen box (each of three balls can be taken chosen equally likely), and it turns out to be white. We are going to find MAP estimate for the...
