You are going to the store to get 14 cans of soda. There are 5 varieties to choose from, and you are to bring back at least 1 of each variety. How many different assortments can you choose to come back with?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Here we have to choose from 5 varieties such that atleast one of each variety is present while choosing 14 cans of soda. Consider that you have already selected 5 cans of each variety and there are 9 more cans that you have to choose now. Now we need to find how these rest of 9 cans should be distributed.

For this, consider the sticks and dots scenario.

In this figure consider the sticks(|) to be the rest of 9 cans which have to be distributed. The dots(*) represent the number of cans belonging to specific variety. In the above example there are 2 cans of first variety , 0 cans of secnd variety , 4 cans of third variety, 2 cans of 4th variety and 1 can of 5th variety. The example we have given is a specific case. We need to find how many of these cases exist. This will simply be the ways of selecting 4 places out of 13 places for dots(*). Hence the number of different assortments would be given by,

N = C(13,4) = 715

A company produces soda.  The company produces four varieties of the soda. The company purchased a new bottling machine.  When the machine is working properly, bottles are filled with a normally-distributed process, with mean = 12.7 oz and var = .05 oz2. To test if working properly a sample of 25 bottles is taken and its fill levels are measured.  Data is normally distributed with the var = 05 oz2and sample mean = 12.6oz. (a)is it fair to say the sample mean is...

Most soda cans list the volume of soda as 12 fluid ounces. As with all process, some variation occurs when filling soda cans. Suppose that a company knows this and tries to over-fill cans a bit, so that the actual volume of soda in a can follows a normal distribution with mean 12.1 fluid ounces and standard deviation .15 fluid ounces. a) What proportion of soda cans filled by this process will contain less than 12 fluid ounces? (In other...

A soda bottling plant fills cans labeled to contain 12 ounces of soda. The filling machine varies and does not fill each can with exactly 12 ounces. To determine if the filling machine needs adjustment, each day the quality control manager measures the amount of soda per can for a random sample of 50 cans. Experience shows that its filling machines have a known population standard deviation of 0.35 ounces. In today's sample of 50 cans of soda, the sample...
