Question 10 of 40
10. Question
The probability that each of the three independent fire alarms are triggered by the occurrence of the fire is 0.94. What is the probability that at least one of the three alarms goes off when there is a fire?
Correct
Since the probability that each of the three independent fire alarms are triggered by the occurrence of the fire is \( Pr(A_i)=0.94 \), the probability that none of the three independent fire alarms are triggered by the occurrence of the fire is \( 1-Pr(A_i)=1-0.94=0.06 \). Therefore,
\[ Pr(A_1\cup A_2 \cup A_3)=1-Pr(A_1^{\prime} \cap A_2^{\prime} \cap A_3^{\prime}) \]
Where \( Pr(A_i^{\prime}) \) is alarm \( i \) that does not go off.
As the alarms are independent: \( 1-Pr(A_1^{\prime} \cap A_2^{\prime} \cap A_3^{\prime})=1-Pr(A_1^{\prime})P(A_2^{\prime})P(A_3^{\prime})= 1- (0.06)^3 \)
D is the answer.

Question 17 of 40
17. Question
Let the area of a square be equal to the area of a rectangle. If perimeter of the square and rectangle are 36 and 60, respectively, then which of the following is the ratio of the length to width of the rectangle?
Correct
Consider the square and rectangle below:
Where, the perimeter of the square and rectangle above are 4*x = 36 and 2*(y + z) = 60, respectively. We want to know what the value of z/y is. Of the perimeter of the square, x is equal to 9, and we know that x2 = yz so yz = 81. Thus,
\[ \begin{cases} y+z=30\\ yz=81 \end{cases} \implies \begin{cases} y+(81/y)=30 \implies y^2-30y+81=0\\ z=81/y \end{cases} \\ y^2-30y+81=0 \implies (y-27)(y-3)=0 \implies \begin{cases} y=27 \implies z=3\\ y=3 \implies z=27 \end{cases} \]
We know that z is the length of the rectangle and is more than y that is assigned to width. Hence, y = 3, z = 27, and z/y = 9.
C is the answer.

A circular cake is divided between two groups of A and B. Groups A and B consist of 8 and 6 people, respectively. If 60% of the cake is assigned to group A and 40% is assigned to group B, then what is the difference of the angle between slices of group A and B, in degrees?
Correct
We are going to know an angle in the circle that is 360 degrees. On the first step we must learn what portion of the cake is for group A and what portion is for group B in terms of the angle:
Group A: \( 360^o\times\text{60%}=216^o \)
Group B: \( 360^o\times\text{40%}=144^o \)
Now, we only need to divide each portion between the people of each group:
The angle between slices of group A: \( 216^o/8=27^o \)
The angle between slices of group B: \( 144^o/6=24^o \)
Therefore, the difference is \( 27^o-24^o=3^o \).
