(a) In how many different ways can the first cabin be filled with clients?
(b) How many different ways can the 4th cabin be filled?

Solutions

Expert Solution

(a) ncr = n! / r! (n-r)!

  16c5 = 16! / 5! (16-5)!

= 4368 ways

An island has 2 reefs that are suitable for fishing and 20 fishermen. Each fisherman can fish on only one reef. The current institution is that a fisherman gets to keep the average number of fish caught from the reef on which he chose to fish. On reef 1 the total number of fish caught is given by F1(R1) = 12R1 − (R1)2/2, where R1 is the number of fishermen on reef 1. For reef 2 the relationship is F2(R2)...
The existence of convection heat transfer has been long used by traditional fishermen for fishing purposes.
The existence of convection heat transfer has been long used by traditional fishermen for fishing purposes. For example, by utilizing land breeze, the fishermen will go to the sea at night, and conversely, by utilizing sea breeze they will come back during the day. How this natural heat transfer can be used by the fishermen? Next, explain the mechanism of the occurrence of the land breeze and the sea breeze and their relation to the convection heat transfer events in...

The village of Ubanga has two lakes and 20 fishermen. Each fisherman can fish in either lake and keep his catch. On lake 1, the total number of fish caught is given by F1=10L1-1/2L1 2 where L1 is the number of people fishing on lake 1. For the other lake, lake 2, the relationship is: F2=5L2 a) If each villager acts independently, how many fish do you expect will be caught in total? b) If the village chief were to...

Consider two lobster fishermen from Maine. Each has to decide, independently, how many traps to set. Each can set either 5 or 15 traps. The more traps one fisherman sets, the higher the cost of fishing for the other. Their earnings for each combination are in the table below. The first number in parentheses is the payoff for Fisherman A. Fisherman B 15 Traps 5 Traps Fisherman A 15 Traps ($6, $6) ($14, $3) 5 Traps ($3, $14) ($12, $12)...

Ontario Gateway Airlines’ first-class cabin has 10 seats in each plane. Ontario’s overbooking policy is to sell up to 11 first class tickets since cancellations and no-shows are always possible (and indeed are quite likely). For a given flight on Ontario Gateway, there were 11 first class tickets sold. Suppose that each of the 11 persons who purchased tickets has a 20% chance of not showing up for the flight and that the likelihood of different persons showing up for...
