mba emeka: . . .etc

therefore the overall Pr would be of having 10L or 15L or 20L or 25L or 30L

which is Pr(10L)+Pr(15L)+. . .Pr(30L)

0.16+0.055+0.015+0.00299+0.00033= 0.178

hence Ejiro has a 17.8% chance of getting atleast 10L of kerosene.

probability distribution ....er

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night. You pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the bus:
1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect man (or) woman you have been dreaming about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car?

I'd probably try to save as much people as possible so I'd give the car to my old friend and tell him to take the Old lady with him. Then I'd stay there with the lady of my dreams. Hoping that my friend would come back there with a help to get me and the girl of my dreams away from there. grin wink

hardbody: I have tons of these brain wrackers in a compendium of Logic texts, although it is in soft copy. Any interested NLander can send an email and I will send a copy to them. Although I must confess I never read beyond the first few pages. Fortunately I am gainfully employed and so would not b needing those question and answer sessions. Before I forget, Accenture embarrassed me with one of those questions way back in time, I felt very silly when I got home and realized I goofed.

dlex21: there is fuel scarcity and Ejiro has successfully broken into a warehouse containing 14kegs all filled with fuel.
Six of these kegs contain kerosene and the rest contain petrol.
Each keg contains five liters of fuel and is completely sealed.
If all the kegs are identical with no way of identifying which contains petrol or kerosene,
What is the minimum number of kegs that Ejiro must steal for him to be certain that he has at least 10litres of kerosene in his possession?

NOTE: answer with explanation o!!!

10 kegs, 5+5 =10litres =2 kegs of krosene
8 kegs of petrol plus 2 kegs =1okegs.
