Question

In measuring the internal radius of a circular sewer the measurement is 2% too large. If this measurement is then used to calculate the circular cross-sectional area of the pipe: Determine, by using the binomial theory, the percentage error that will occur compared to the true area.

area of cross section is pie(r)^2; now error is 2% whixh is 0.02; now radius is r+0.02r=1.02r; now area of cross section is pie(1.02r)^2= 1.0404r^2; %error = (area - truearea)/truearea * 100 = (pie * 1.0404r^2 - pie * r^2)/pie(r^2) *100 =4.04% error

A box of numbered pens has 12 red, 12 blue, 12 green and 12 yellow pens. The pens for each colour are numbered from 1 to 12. There is a unique number on each pen, so no pen is exactly the same as any other pen in the box. When reaching into the box to randomly draw five pens without replacement, what is the proportion of getting exactly four pens of the same colour (Note: the numbers matter but the order does not)?
