❓:A marketing expert is analyzing the engagement of online articles based on their titles and summaries. They have discovered that the probability ( P(E) ) that an article will be highly engaging is influenced by two factors: the effectiveness of its title ( T ) and the effectiveness of its summary ( S ). The effectiveness of the title and summary is rated on a scale from 0 to 10.1. The expert models the probability ( P(E) ) using the logistic function:[ P(E) = frac{1}{1 + e^{-(aT + bS + c)}} ]where ( a, b, ) and ( c ) are constants that need to be determined. Given the following data points for three articles: - Article 1: ( (T_1, S_1, P(E_1)) = (8, 7, 0.85) ) - Article 2: ( (T_2, S_2, P(E_2)) = (5, 6, 0.70) ) - Article 3: ( (T_3, S_3, P(E_3)) = (3, 4, 0.55) ) Find the values of ( a, b, ) and ( c ).2. Assuming the constants ( a, b, ), and ( c ) have been determined from the first sub-problem, calculate the expected engagement probability ( P(E) ) for a new article with a title effectiveness of 9 and a summary effectiveness of 5.
🧠:<think>Okay, so I have this problem where I need to determine the constants a, b, and c in a logistic function that models the probability of an article being highly engaging based on its title and summary effectiveness. Then, using those constants, I need to calculate the expected engagement probability for a new article. Hmm, let's break this down step by step.First, the logistic function given is:[ P(E) = frac{1}{1 + e^{-(aT + bS + c)}} ]We have three data points:1. Article 1: T=8, S=7, P(E)=0.852. Article 2: T=5, S=6, P(E)=0.703. Article 3: T=3, S=4, P(E)=0.55So, we need to solve for a, b, and c such that this function fits these three points.Since this is a logistic regression problem, it's nonlinear, but maybe we can linearize it by taking the logit transformation. The logit function is the inverse of the logistic function, which is:[ text{logit}(P(E)) = lnleft(frac{P(E)}{1 - P(E)}right) = aT + bS + c ]So, if I take the logit of each P(E), I can set up a system of linear equations.Let me compute the logit for each data point.Starting with Article 1:P(E1) = 0.85So,[ text{logit}(0.85) = lnleft(frac{0.85}{1 - 0.85}right) = lnleft(frac{0.85}{0.15}right) ]Calculating that:0.85 / 0.15 = 5.6667So, ln(5.6667) ≈ 1.737Therefore, equation 1 is:1.737 = 8a + 7b + cSimilarly, for Article 2:P(E2) = 0.70[ text{logit}(0.70) = lnleft(frac{0.70}{0.30}right) = ln(2.3333) ≈ 0.8473 ]So, equation 2 is:0.8473 = 5a + 6b + cFor Article 3:P(E3) = 0.55[ text{logit}(0.55) = lnleft(frac{0.55}{0.45}right) ≈ ln(1.2222) ≈ 0.2007 ]So, equation 3 is:0.2007 = 3a + 4b + cNow, I have a system of three equations:1. 8a + 7b + c = 1.7372. 5a + 6b + c = 0.84733. 3a + 4b + c = 0.2007I can solve this system using substitution or elimination. Let me try elimination.First, subtract equation 3 from equation 2:(5a + 6b + c) - (3a + 4b + c) = 0.8473 - 0.2007Simplify:2a + 2b = 0.6466Divide both sides by 2:a + b = 0.3233 ...(4)Similarly, subtract equation 2 from equation 1:(8a + 7b + c) - (5a + 6b + c) = 1.737 - 0.8473Simplify:3a + b = 0.8897 ...(5)Now, we have two equations:4. a + b = 0.32335. 3a + b = 0.8897Subtract equation 4 from equation 5:(3a + b) - (a + b) = 0.8897 - 0.3233Simplify:2a = 0.5664So,a = 0.5664 / 2 = 0.2832Now, substitute a back into equation 4:0.2832 + b = 0.3233So,b = 0.3233 - 0.2832 = 0.0401Now, we can find c using equation 3:3a + 4b + c = 0.2007Plugging in a and b:3*(0.2832) + 4*(0.0401) + c = 0.2007Calculate:0.8496 + 0.1604 + c = 0.2007Add:0.8496 + 0.1604 = 1.01So,1.01 + c = 0.2007Therefore,c = 0.2007 - 1.01 = -0.8093So, the constants are approximately:a ≈ 0.2832b ≈ 0.0401c ≈ -0.8093Let me verify these values with the original equations to make sure.First, equation 1:8a + 7b + c = 8*0.2832 + 7*0.0401 + (-0.8093)Compute:8*0.2832 ≈ 2.26567*0.0401 ≈ 0.2807Adding them: 2.2656 + 0.2807 ≈ 2.5463Subtract c: 2.5463 - 0.8093 ≈ 1.737, which matches the first equation.Equation 2:5a + 6b + c = 5*0.2832 + 6*0.0401 + (-0.8093)Compute:5*0.2832 ≈ 1.4166*0.0401 ≈ 0.2406Adding: 1.416 + 0.2406 ≈ 1.6566Subtract c: 1.6566 - 0.8093 ≈ 0.8473, which matches.Equation 3:3a + 4b + c = 3*0.2832 + 4*0.0401 + (-0.8093)Compute:3*0.2832 ≈ 0.84964*0.0401 ≈ 0.1604Adding: 0.8496 + 0.1604 ≈ 1.01Subtract c: 1.01 - 0.8093 ≈ 0.2007, which matches.Great, so the values seem correct.Now, moving on to part 2: calculating P(E) for a new article with T=9 and S=5.Using the logistic function:[ P(E) = frac{1}{1 + e^{-(aT + bS + c)}} ]Plugging in a=0.2832, b=0.0401, c=-0.8093, T=9, S=5.First, compute the exponent:aT + bS + c = 0.2832*9 + 0.0401*5 + (-0.8093)Compute each term:0.2832*9 ≈ 2.54880.0401*5 ≈ 0.2005Adding them: 2.5488 + 0.2005 ≈ 2.7493Subtract c: 2.7493 - 0.8093 ≈ 1.94So, the exponent is 1.94.Now, compute e^(-1.94). Let's calculate that.First, e^1.94 is approximately e^1.94 ≈ 6.95 (since e^2 ≈ 7.389, so 1.94 is a bit less, maybe around 6.95). But let me compute it more accurately.Using a calculator:e^1.94 ≈ e^(1 + 0.94) = e * e^0.94 ≈ 2.71828 * 2.5617 ≈ 6.956So, e^(-1.94) ≈ 1 / 6.956 ≈ 0.1438Therefore,P(E) = 1 / (1 + 0.1438) ≈ 1 / 1.1438 ≈ 0.874So, approximately 0.874 or 87.4% probability.Wait, let me double-check the exponent calculation.aT + bS + c = 0.2832*9 + 0.0401*5 - 0.8093Compute 0.2832*9:0.2832 * 9: 0.2832*10=2.832, subtract 0.2832: 2.832 - 0.2832 = 2.54880.0401*5 = 0.2005So, 2.5488 + 0.2005 = 2.74932.7493 - 0.8093 = 1.94Yes, that's correct.e^(-1.94): Let me compute it more precisely.Using natural logarithm tables or calculator:1.94 is approximately 1.94.We know that ln(6.95) ≈ 1.94, so e^1.94 ≈ 6.95, hence e^-1.94 ≈ 1/6.95 ≈ 0.1439So, 1 / (1 + 0.1439) = 1 / 1.1439 ≈ 0.874So, P(E) ≈ 0.874, which is about 87.4%.Therefore, the expected engagement probability is approximately 0.874.But just to make sure, let me compute e^-1.94 more accurately.Using a calculator:e^-1.94 ≈ e^-1 * e^-0.94 ≈ 0.3679 * 0.3917 ≈ 0.1439Yes, same result.So, 1 / (1 + 0.1439) ≈ 0.874Therefore, the final answer is approximately 0.874.Wait, but let me check if I used the correct sign in the exponent. The logistic function is 1 / (1 + e^{-(aT + bS + c)}). So, since aT + bS + c = 1.94, then e^{-1.94} is correct.Yes, that's right.So, all steps seem correct.Final Answer1. The constants are ( a approx 0.283 ), ( b approx 0.040 ), and ( c approx -0.809 ).2. The expected engagement probability is (boxed{0.874}).</think>
❓:A young child has a collection of Disney movies. The collection includes movies from various Disney franchises such as "Toy Story," "The Lion King," and "Frozen." The child loves to organize the collection in different ways and tell stories about their favorite characters. 1. There are 12 movies from the "Toy Story" franchise, 8 from "The Lion King," and 10 from "Frozen." The child decides to create a unique storyline by choosing 1 movie from each franchise and lining them up in a specific order. How many different storylines can the child create?2. The child also wants to create a special story marathon by selecting 5 movies from their entire Disney collection of 30 movies. However, they want to ensure that no more than 2 movies in the marathon come from the same franchise. How many different ways can the child choose and arrange these 5 movies for their story marathon?
🧠:<think>Alright, so I have two problems here about a child organizing Disney movies. Let me try to figure them out step by step.Starting with the first problem:1. The child has movies from three franchises: Toy Story (12), The Lion King (8), and Frozen (10). They want to create a unique storyline by choosing 1 movie from each franchise and lining them up in a specific order. How many different storylines can they create?Hmm, okay. So, they're choosing one movie from each of the three franchises and then arranging them in a specific order. That sounds like a permutation problem because the order matters here.First, let's break it down. For each franchise, they have a certain number of choices:- Toy Story: 12 options- The Lion King: 8 options- Frozen: 10 optionsSince they're choosing one from each, the number of ways to choose one movie from each franchise is the product of the number of choices for each. So, that would be 12 * 8 * 10.Let me calculate that: 12 * 8 is 96, and 96 * 10 is 960. So, there are 960 ways to choose one movie from each franchise.But wait, the problem also says they line them up in a specific order. So, after choosing the three movies, they need to arrange them in some order. Since there are three movies, the number of ways to arrange them is 3 factorial, which is 3! = 6.Therefore, the total number of different storylines is the number of ways to choose the movies multiplied by the number of ways to arrange them. So, 960 * 6.Calculating that: 960 * 6. Let me do 900*6=5400 and 60*6=360, so 5400+360=5760.So, the child can create 5,760 different storylines.Wait, let me make sure I didn't make a mistake. So, choosing one from each is 12*8*10=960. Then, arranging three distinct movies in order is 3! =6. So, 960*6=5760. Yeah, that seems right.Moving on to the second problem:2. The child wants to create a special story marathon by selecting 5 movies from their entire Disney collection of 30 movies. However, they want to ensure that no more than 2 movies in the marathon come from the same franchise. How many different ways can the child choose and arrange these 5 movies for their story marathon?Alright, so this is a bit more complex. They have a total of 30 movies, but they're spread across three franchises: Toy Story (12), The Lion King (8), and Frozen (10). So, 12+8+10=30, which checks out.They want to select 5 movies with the condition that no more than 2 come from the same franchise. So, in other words, each franchise can contribute at most 2 movies to the marathon.But wait, actually, the problem says "no more than 2 movies in the marathon come from the same franchise." So, does that mean that each franchise can contribute at most 2? Or does it mean that across all franchises, any single franchise can't contribute more than 2? I think it's the latter. So, each franchise can contribute 0, 1, or 2 movies, but not more than 2.So, we need to count the number of ways to choose 5 movies with the restriction that no franchise contributes more than 2 movies. Then, since the child wants to arrange them in a specific order, we also need to consider permutations.So, first, let's figure out the number of ways to choose the 5 movies under the given restriction.This is a combinatorial problem with restrictions. So, we can model this as a problem of distributing 5 movies among 3 franchises, where each franchise can have 0, 1, or 2 movies, and the total is 5.So, we need to find all possible distributions of 5 movies into 3 franchises, each with at most 2 movies. Then, for each distribution, calculate the number of ways to choose the movies and multiply by the number of arrangements.First, let's find all possible distributions.Possible distributions (since each franchise can have at most 2):We need to find non-negative integer solutions to a + b + c = 5, where a, b, c ≤ 2.Wait, but 3 franchises, each can have 0,1,2, but total is 5. Hmm, but 3*2=6, which is more than 5, so it's possible.Wait, but 5 is an odd number. Let's see.Wait, 5 can be expressed as 2+2+1, or 2+1+2, or 1+2+2. So, the only possible distributions are permutations of (2,2,1). Because 2+2+1=5, and all other combinations would either exceed 2 in some franchise or not sum to 5.Wait, let me check:If we try 2,2,1: sum is 5.If we try 2,1,2: same.1,2,2: same.Alternatively, could we have 2,1,1,1? No, because that's four franchises, but we only have three.Wait, no, we have three franchises, so the distribution must be among three variables. So, if we have 2,2,1, that's the only way to get 5 with each variable at most 2.Because if we try 2,1,2, it's the same as above.Alternatively, could we have 1,1,3? But 3 is more than 2, which is not allowed.Similarly, 0,2,3: no, 3 is too much.So, the only possible distribution is two franchises contributing 2 movies each, and the third contributing 1 movie.So, in terms of counts, for each distribution, we need to calculate the number of ways.So, first, how many ways to choose which franchise contributes 1 movie and which two contribute 2 each.There are C(3,1) = 3 ways to choose which franchise contributes 1 movie. The other two contribute 2 each.So, for each such case, the number of ways to choose the movies is:For the franchise with 1 movie: number of ways is C(n,1), where n is the number of movies in that franchise.For the two franchises with 2 movies each: number of ways is C(m,2) for each, where m is the number of movies in each.Then, multiply these together for each distribution.But wait, the franchises have different numbers of movies: Toy Story (12), Lion King (8), Frozen (10). So, we need to consider which franchise is contributing 1, 2, or 2.So, let's break it down:Case 1: Toy Story contributes 1 movie, Lion King and Frozen contribute 2 each.Case 2: Lion King contributes 1 movie, Toy Story and Frozen contribute 2 each.Case 3: Frozen contributes 1 movie, Toy Story and Lion King contribute 2 each.So, three cases.For each case, compute the number of ways.Case 1: Toy Story (1), Lion King (2), Frozen (2).Number of ways: C(12,1) * C(8,2) * C(10,2).Case 2: Lion King (1), Toy Story (2), Frozen (2).Number of ways: C(8,1) * C(12,2) * C(10,2).Case 3: Frozen (1), Toy Story (2), Lion King (2).Number of ways: C(10,1) * C(12,2) * C(8,2).So, let's compute each case.First, let's compute the combinations:C(n,1) = n.C(n,2) = n(n-1)/2.So, for Case 1:C(12,1) = 12.C(8,2) = 8*7/2 = 28.C(10,2) = 10*9/2 = 45.So, total for Case 1: 12 * 28 * 45.Let me compute that:12 * 28 = 336.336 * 45: Let's compute 336*40=13,440 and 336*5=1,680. So, total is 13,440 + 1,680 = 15,120.Case 1: 15,120 ways.Case 2:C(8,1) = 8.C(12,2) = 12*11/2 = 66.C(10,2) = 45.So, total for Case 2: 8 * 66 * 45.Compute 8*66=528.528*45: 500*45=22,500 and 28*45=1,260. So, total is 22,500 + 1,260 = 23,760.Case 2: 23,760 ways.Case 3:C(10,1) = 10.C(12,2) = 66.C(8,2) = 28.Total for Case 3: 10 * 66 * 28.Compute 10*66=660.660*28: 600*28=16,800 and 60*28=1,680. So, total is 16,800 + 1,680 = 18,480.Case 3: 18,480 ways.Now, total number of ways to choose the movies is the sum of the three cases: 15,120 + 23,760 + 18,480.Let me add them up:15,120 + 23,760 = 38,880.38,880 + 18,480 = 57,360.So, 57,360 ways to choose the 5 movies with the given restriction.But wait, the problem also says the child wants to arrange these 5 movies in a specific order. So, after choosing the 5 movies, they need to arrange them. Since the order matters, we need to multiply by the number of permutations of 5 movies, which is 5!.5! = 120.Therefore, total number of ways is 57,360 * 120.Let me compute that:First, 57,360 * 100 = 5,736,000.57,360 * 20 = 1,147,200.So, total is 5,736,000 + 1,147,200 = 6,883,200.So, the child can choose and arrange the 5 movies in 6,883,200 different ways.Wait, let me double-check my calculations.First, the number of ways to choose the movies: 57,360.Then, arranging them: 5! = 120.So, 57,360 * 120.Let me compute 57,360 * 120:Multiply 57,360 by 100: 5,736,000.Multiply 57,360 by 20: 1,147,200.Add them together: 5,736,000 + 1,147,200 = 6,883,200.Yes, that seems correct.Alternatively, 57,360 * 120 = 57,360 * (100 + 20) = 5,736,000 + 1,147,200 = 6,883,200.So, that's the total number of ways.Wait, but let me think again: is there another way to approach this problem?Alternatively, we could have considered all possible ways to choose 5 movies without restriction and then subtract those that violate the condition (i.e., having 3 or more from a single franchise). But that might be more complicated because we have multiple franchises, and we have to consider overlaps.But in this case, since the restriction is that no more than 2 from each, and since the total is 5, the only possible violation would be if one franchise contributes 3 or more. So, perhaps another approach is:Total number of ways without restriction: C(30,5) * 5!.Minus the number of ways where at least one franchise contributes 3 or more.But that might involve inclusion-exclusion.But since the first method gave us 57,360 * 120 = 6,883,200, let's see if this alternative approach gives the same result.First, total number of ways without restriction: C(30,5) * 5!.C(30,5) is the number of combinations, which is 142,506.So, 142,506 * 120 = 17,100,720.Now, subtract the number of invalid selections where one or more franchises contribute 3 or more movies.So, we need to compute the number of ways where at least one franchise has 3 or more movies.There are three franchises, so we can compute for each franchise the number of ways where that franchise contributes 3, 4, or 5 movies, and then use inclusion-exclusion.But this might be more involved.First, compute the number of ways where Toy Story contributes at least 3 movies.Similarly for Lion King and Frozen.Then, subtract those, but add back in the cases where two franchises contribute at least 3 each, and so on.But given that the total number of movies is 5, it's impossible for two franchises to each contribute 3 or more, since 3+3=6 >5. So, the inclusion-exclusion would only go up to single franchises.So, let's compute:Number of invalid selections = (Number of ways Toy Story contributes 3,4,5) + (Number of ways Lion King contributes 3,4,5) + (Number of ways Frozen contributes 3,4,5).Then, since no two can contribute 3 or more, we don't need to subtract anything.So, let's compute each:For Toy Story:Number of ways to choose 3,4,5 movies from Toy Story (12) and the rest from the other two franchises.Similarly for Lion King and Frozen.So, for Toy Story:Case A: 3 movies from Toy Story, 2 from others.Number of ways: C(12,3) * C(18,2).Similarly, Case B: 4 movies from Toy Story, 1 from others: C(12,4)*C(18,1).Case C: 5 movies from Toy Story: C(12,5).Similarly for Lion King and Frozen.So, let's compute each.First, for Toy Story:Case A: C(12,3)*C(18,2).C(12,3) = 220.C(18,2) = 153.So, 220 * 153 = Let's compute 200*153=30,600 and 20*153=3,060. Total: 30,600 + 3,060 = 33,660.Case A: 33,660.Case B: C(12,4)*C(18,1).C(12,4) = 495.C(18,1) = 18.So, 495 * 18 = 8,910.Case B: 8,910.Case C: C(12,5) = 792.So, total for Toy Story: 33,660 + 8,910 + 792 = 43,362.Similarly, for Lion King:Case A: C(8,3)*C(22,2).C(8,3)=56.C(22,2)=231.56*231: Let's compute 50*231=11,550 and 6*231=1,386. Total: 11,550 + 1,386 = 12,936.Case A: 12,936.Case B: C(8,4)*C(22,1).C(8,4)=70.C(22,1)=22.70*22=1,540.Case B: 1,540.Case C: C(8,5)=56.Total for Lion King: 12,936 + 1,540 + 56 = 14,532.For Frozen:Case A: C(10,3)*C(20,2).C(10,3)=120.C(20,2)=190.120*190=22,800.Case A: 22,800.Case B: C(10,4)*C(20,1).C(10,4)=210.C(20,1)=20.210*20=4,200.Case B: 4,200.Case C: C(10,5)=252.Total for Frozen: 22,800 + 4,200 + 252 = 27,252.So, total invalid selections:Toy Story: 43,362Lion King: 14,532Frozen: 27,252Total: 43,362 + 14,532 + 27,252.Compute 43,362 + 14,532 = 57,894.57,894 + 27,252 = 85,146.So, total invalid selections: 85,146.But wait, these are combinations. Since in the problem, we need to arrange the movies, so we have to consider permutations.Wait, no, in this approach, we first compute the number of combinations (C(30,5)) and then subtract the invalid combinations, then multiply by 5!.But in the previous approach, we computed the valid combinations (57,360) and then multiplied by 5!.So, let's see:Total combinations: C(30,5)=142,506.Invalid combinations: 85,146.So, valid combinations: 142,506 - 85,146 = 57,360.Which matches the previous result.Therefore, valid combinations: 57,360.Then, number of ways to arrange them: 5! = 120.So, total ways: 57,360 * 120 = 6,883,200.So, same result as before.Therefore, the answer is 6,883,200.Wait, but just to make sure, let me think if there's another way someone might approach this problem.Alternatively, someone might think that since each franchise can contribute at most 2, then the number of ways is the sum over all possible distributions of 5 movies with each franchise contributing 0,1, or 2, and then computing the combinations.But as we saw earlier, the only possible distribution is two franchises contributing 2 each and one contributing 1. So, that's why we had three cases.Alternatively, if someone tried to model it as arranging the movies with restrictions, but that seems more complicated.I think the way I did it is correct.So, to recap:Problem 1: 12*8*10*6=5,760.Problem 2: 57,360*120=6,883,200.Yes, that seems solid.Final Answer1. The child can create boxed{5760} different storylines.2. The child can choose and arrange the movies in boxed{6883200} different ways.</think>

He wants to determine the probability that a randomly selected video will have between 100,000 and 140,000 views.2. Additionally, Alex noticed that the engagement rate (E), defined as the number of likes divided by the number of views, has a mean of 5% with a standard deviation of 1.2%. Assuming the engagement rate is normally distributed, calculate the probability that a video with 130,000 views will have an engagement rate of at least 6%.
🧠:<think>Alright, so I've got these two statistics problems to solve for Alex, the YouTube content creator. He's looking to optimize his content strategy by analyzing his viewership and engagement rates. Let me take this step by step.Starting with the first problem: Alex has 50 videos, and the viewership V follows a normal distribution with a mean (μ) of 120,000 views and a standard deviation (σ) of 15,000 views. He wants to find the probability that a randomly selected video will have between 100,000 and 140,000 views.Okay, so normal distribution problems usually involve converting the given values into z-scores and then using the standard normal distribution table or a calculator to find the probabilities. I remember the formula for z-score is:z = (X - μ) / σWhere X is the value we're interested in, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.So, for the lower bound, 100,000 views, let's calculate the z-score:z1 = (100,000 - 120,000) / 15,000z1 = (-20,000) / 15,000z1 = -1.333...Similarly, for the upper bound, 140,000 views:z2 = (140,000 - 120,000) / 15,000z2 = 20,000 / 15,000z2 = 1.333...So now, we have z-scores of -1.333 and 1.333. We need to find the probability that a z-score falls between these two values. In other words, P(-1.333 < Z < 1.333).I recall that the total area under the standard normal curve is 1, and the curve is symmetric around the mean. So, if I can find the area from the mean (z=0) to z=1.333 and then double it, that should give me the area between -1.333 and 1.333.Looking up z=1.333 in the standard normal distribution table. Hmm, let me recall how to read these tables. The table gives the area to the left of the z-score. So, for z=1.33, the area is approximately 0.9082, and for z=1.34, it's about 0.9099. Since 1.333 is closer to 1.33, maybe we can approximate it as 0.9082.Wait, actually, 1.333 is one-third of the way between 1.33 and 1.34. The difference between 0.9082 and 0.9099 is about 0.0017. So, one-third of that is roughly 0.000567. Adding that to 0.9082 gives approximately 0.908767. Let's say approximately 0.9088.So, the area from z=0 to z=1.333 is about 0.9088 - 0.5 = 0.4088. Wait, no. Actually, the table gives the cumulative area from the left up to z. So, for z=1.333, the area is approximately 0.9088. Therefore, the area from z=0 to z=1.333 is 0.9088 - 0.5 = 0.4088.Therefore, the total area between z=-1.333 and z=1.333 is 2 * 0.4088 = 0.8176. So, approximately 81.76% probability.But wait, let me double-check. Alternatively, I can use the symmetry of the normal distribution. The area from z=-1.333 to z=1.333 is equal to 2 times the area from z=0 to z=1.333. So, if the area from z=0 to z=1.333 is approximately 0.4088, then doubling it gives 0.8176, which is about 81.76%.Alternatively, if I use a calculator or more precise z-table, maybe I can get a more accurate value. But for now, 81.76% seems reasonable.Moving on to the second problem: Alex noticed that the engagement rate (E) is normally distributed with a mean of 5% and a standard deviation of 1.2%. He wants to calculate the probability that a video with 130,000 views will have an engagement rate of at least 6%.Wait, hold on. The engagement rate is defined as the number of likes divided by the number of views. So, it's a percentage. But does the number of views affect the engagement rate's distribution? Hmm, the problem states that the engagement rate is normally distributed with a mean of 5% and a standard deviation of 1.2%. So, regardless of the number of views, the engagement rate itself is normally distributed.But wait, actually, the engagement rate is a proportion, which is a type of ratio. Normally, proportions are modeled with a binomial distribution, but for large sample sizes, they can be approximated with a normal distribution. However, the problem already states that the engagement rate is normally distributed, so we can proceed with that.But here's the thing: the engagement rate is calculated as likes/views. So, for a given number of views, the number of likes would be E * V. But since E is a percentage, it's (E/100) * V.But in this case, Alex is looking at a video with 130,000 views and wants the probability that the engagement rate is at least 6%. So, regardless of the number of views, the engagement rate is a separate normal variable with mean 5% and standard deviation 1.2%.Wait, is that correct? Or does the number of views affect the distribution of the engagement rate? Because more views could lead to more likes, but the engagement rate is a ratio.Hmm, this is a bit confusing. Let me think.If the engagement rate E is normally distributed with mean 5% and standard deviation 1.2%, then for any video, regardless of its viewership, E ~ N(5, 1.2). So, the number of views doesn't directly affect the distribution of E. It's just a separate normal variable.Therefore, to find the probability that E is at least 6%, we can compute it directly using the z-score.So, let's compute the z-score for E=6%.z = (6 - 5) / 1.2z = 1 / 1.2z ≈ 0.8333So, z ≈ 0.8333. Now, we need to find P(Z ≥ 0.8333). Since the standard normal distribution table gives the area to the left of the z-score, we can find P(Z ≤ 0.8333) and subtract it from 1.Looking up z=0.83 in the table: the area is approximately 0.7967. For z=0.84, it's about 0.7995. Since 0.8333 is one-third of the way between 0.83 and 0.84, the area would be approximately 0.7967 + (0.7995 - 0.7967)/3 ≈ 0.7967 + 0.00093 ≈ 0.7976.So, P(Z ≤ 0.8333) ≈ 0.7976. Therefore, P(Z ≥ 0.8333) = 1 - 0.7976 = 0.2024, or about 20.24%.Wait, but hold on. Is the engagement rate truly independent of the number of views? Because in reality, more views might lead to more likes, but the engagement rate is a ratio. However, the problem states that the engagement rate is normally distributed with the given mean and standard deviation, so perhaps we can treat it as such regardless of the number of views.But actually, the number of views does affect the variance of the engagement rate because the number of likes is a binomial variable with parameters n=views and p=engagement rate. However, since the problem states that the engagement rate itself is normally distributed, we can proceed without considering the number of views.Therefore, the probability that a video has an engagement rate of at least 6% is approximately 20.24%.Wait, but let me think again. If the engagement rate is a ratio, it's actually a proportion, which is bounded between 0 and 100%. However, the normal distribution is unbounded, so technically, it's not a perfect model. But for the sake of the problem, we can proceed as instructed.Alternatively, if we consider the number of likes, which would be a binomial variable, but since the number of views is large (130,000), the normal approximation might be reasonable. However, the problem states that the engagement rate is normally distributed, so we can stick with that.So, to recap:1. For the viewership between 100,000 and 140,000, the probability is approximately 81.76%.2. For the engagement rate of at least 6%, the probability is approximately 20.24%.But let me verify the calculations once more.First problem:z1 = (100,000 - 120,000)/15,000 = -1.333z2 = (140,000 - 120,000)/15,000 = 1.333Using a z-table, the area between -1.33 and 1.33 is approximately 0.818, which is about 81.8%. So, my initial calculation was correct.Second problem:z = (6 - 5)/1.2 = 0.8333Looking up z=0.83, area is 0.7967z=0.84, area is 0.7995Interpolating for 0.8333, which is 0.83 + 0.0033, so approximately 0.7967 + (0.7995 - 0.7967)*(0.0033/0.01) ≈ 0.7967 + 0.0028*0.33 ≈ 0.7967 + 0.0009 ≈ 0.7976Thus, P(Z ≥ 0.8333) = 1 - 0.7976 = 0.2024, which is about 20.24%.Alternatively, using a calculator, the exact value for z=0.8333 is approximately 0.7977, so 1 - 0.7977 = 0.2023, which is about 20.23%.So, both calculations seem consistent.Therefore, the final answers are approximately 81.76% for the first problem and 20.24% for the second problem.But to be precise, maybe I should use more accurate z-values.For the first problem, z=1.333 is exactly 4/3. The exact area from z=0 to z=1.333 can be found using a calculator or more precise table.Using a calculator, the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for z=1.333 is approximately 0.908789. Therefore, the area from z=-1.333 to z=1.333 is 2*(0.908789 - 0.5) = 2*0.408789 = 0.817578, which is approximately 81.76%.For the second problem, z=0.8333. The CDF for z=0.8333 is approximately 0.7977. Therefore, 1 - 0.7977 = 0.2023, or 20.23%.So, rounding to two decimal places, 81.76% and 20.23%.Alternatively, if we want to express these as percentages with two decimal places, it would be 81.76% and 20.23%.But sometimes, probabilities are expressed with four decimal places, so 0.8176 and 0.2023.But since the question asks for the probability, either form is acceptable, but probably as a percentage.So, summarizing:1. Probability of viewership between 100k and 140k: approximately 81.76%2. Probability of engagement rate at least 6%: approximately 20.23%I think that's it. I don't see any mistakes in the reasoning now.</think>
❓:Nilphamari is known for its beautifully arranged tea gardens, where each garden is laid out in a precise geometric pattern. Suppose a proud resident of Nilphamari is tasked with designing a new tea garden in the shape of a complex polygon with vertices located at specific coordinates.1. The vertices of the polygon are given by the complex numbers ( z_1, z_2, ldots, z_n ) where ( z_k = e^{i frac{2pi k}{n}} ) for ( k = 0, 1, ldots, n-1 ) and ( n ) is an integer greater than 3. Prove that the sum of the distances from any point inside the polygon to the vertices is minimized at the centroid of the polygon. Express the coordinates of the centroid in terms of ( n ).2. In Nilphamari, the tea garden's area is calculated using the shoelace formula for the vertices defined above. Derive a general expression for the area of the polygon in terms of ( n ), and verify the area when ( n = 6 ).
🧠:<think>Okay, so I have this problem about a tea garden designed as a complex polygon. The first part is about proving that the sum of distances from any point inside the polygon to the vertices is minimized at the centroid. The second part is about calculating the area using the shoelace formula and verifying it for n=6. Let me try to tackle these one by one.Starting with the first part. The polygon is given by complex numbers ( z_1, z_2, ldots, z_n ) where each ( z_k = e^{i frac{2pi k}{n}} ). So, these are the nth roots of unity, right? They lie on the unit circle in the complex plane, spaced equally around the circle. So, the polygon is a regular n-gon inscribed in the unit circle.I need to show that the sum of distances from any interior point to the vertices is minimized at the centroid. Hmm, I remember that in some cases, like for convex polygons, the centroid minimizes certain distance sums, but I'm not sure about the exact theorem here.Wait, actually, I think this might be related to the geometric median. The geometric median minimizes the sum of distances to a set of points. For symmetric configurations, the geometric median coincides with the centroid. Since the regular polygon is highly symmetric, it makes sense that the centroid would be the point that minimizes this sum.But how do I formally prove this? Maybe I can use some properties of convex functions or exploit the symmetry of the polygon.Let me consider the function ( f(z) = sum_{k=0}^{n-1} |z - z_k| ), where ( z ) is a point inside the polygon. I need to show that this function is minimized at the centroid.First, note that each ( z_k ) is a vertex of the polygon, and due to the regularity, they are symmetrically placed around the origin. The centroid ( C ) of the polygon is the average of all the vertices. Since each ( z_k ) is a root of unity, their sum is zero. So, ( C = frac{1}{n} sum_{k=0}^{n-1} z_k = 0 ). So, the centroid is at the origin.Therefore, I need to show that ( f(0) ) is less than or equal to ( f(z) ) for any other point ( z ) inside the polygon.To do this, maybe I can use the concept of convexity. The function ( f(z) ) is a sum of convex functions (since the absolute value function is convex), so it's convex. The minimum of a convex function over a convex set occurs at a unique point, which in this case, due to symmetry, should be the origin.Alternatively, perhaps I can use complex analysis or vector calculus. Let me consider the derivative of ( f(z) ) with respect to ( z ). Since ( f(z) ) is the sum of distances, its derivative at a point ( z ) is the sum of the unit vectors pointing from ( z ) to each ( z_k ). At the centroid, which is the origin, the sum of these unit vectors should be zero because of the symmetry.Wait, let me think about that. If I take the derivative of ( f(z) ) at ( z = 0 ), it would be the sum of the gradients of each ( |z - z_k| ) at ( z = 0 ). The gradient of ( |z - z_k| ) at ( z = 0 ) is the unit vector in the direction of ( -z_k ). So, the derivative would be ( sum_{k=0}^{n-1} frac{-z_k}{|z_k|} ). But since each ( z_k ) is on the unit circle, ( |z_k| = 1 ), so the derivative is ( -sum_{k=0}^{n-1} z_k ). But as I noted earlier, the sum of all ( z_k ) is zero because they are roots of unity. So, the derivative at the origin is zero, meaning it's a critical point.Since the function ( f(z) ) is convex, this critical point must be the global minimum. Therefore, the sum of distances is minimized at the centroid, which is the origin.Okay, that seems to make sense. So, the centroid is at the origin, and it's the point where the sum of distances is minimized.Now, moving on to the second part. I need to derive the area of the polygon using the shoelace formula and then verify it when ( n = 6 ).The shoelace formula for a polygon with vertices ( (x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2), ldots, (x_n, y_n) ) is given by:[text{Area} = frac{1}{2} | sum_{k=1}^{n} (x_k y_{k+1} - x_{k+1} y_k) |]where ( x_{n+1} = x_1 ) and ( y_{n+1} = y_1 ).Since the polygon is regular and inscribed in the unit circle, each vertex ( z_k ) can be represented as ( (cos theta_k, sin theta_k) ), where ( theta_k = frac{2pi k}{n} ).So, the coordinates of the vertices are ( ( cos frac{2pi k}{n}, sin frac{2pi k}{n} ) ) for ( k = 0, 1, ldots, n-1 ).Let me write the shoelace formula for these coordinates.First, let's denote ( x_k = cos theta_k ) and ( y_k = sin theta_k ), where ( theta_k = frac{2pi k}{n} ).Then, the area is:[frac{1}{2} | sum_{k=0}^{n-1} (x_k y_{k+1} - x_{k+1} y_k) |]where ( x_n = x_0 ) and ( y_n = y_0 ).So, substituting ( x_k ) and ( y_k ):[frac{1}{2} | sum_{k=0}^{n-1} left( cos theta_k sin theta_{k+1} - cos theta_{k+1} sin theta_k right) |]I recognize that ( cos theta_k sin theta_{k+1} - cos theta_{k+1} sin theta_k ) is equal to ( sin( theta_{k+1} - theta_k ) ) because of the sine subtraction formula:[sin(A - B) = sin A cos B - cos A sin B]Wait, actually, let me check:( sin(theta_{k+1} - theta_k) = sin theta_{k+1} cos theta_k - cos theta_{k+1} sin theta_k ), which is exactly the term we have. So, each term in the sum is ( sin( theta_{k+1} - theta_k ) ).Given that ( theta_{k+1} - theta_k = frac{2pi (k+1)}{n} - frac{2pi k}{n} = frac{2pi}{n} ). So, each term is ( sin left( frac{2pi}{n} right ) ).Therefore, the sum becomes:[frac{1}{2} | sum_{k=0}^{n-1} sin left( frac{2pi}{n} right ) | = frac{1}{2} | n sin left( frac{2pi}{n} right ) | = frac{n}{2} sin left( frac{2pi}{n} right )]Since ( sin left( frac{2pi}{n} right ) ) is positive for ( n geq 3 ), we can drop the absolute value.So, the area is ( frac{n}{2} sin left( frac{2pi}{n} right ) ).Let me verify this for ( n = 6 ). For a regular hexagon inscribed in the unit circle, what is the area?A regular hexagon can be divided into six equilateral triangles, each with side length equal to the radius, which is 1. The area of each equilateral triangle is ( frac{sqrt{3}}{4} times text{side length}^2 ). So, each triangle has area ( frac{sqrt{3}}{4} times 1^2 = frac{sqrt{3}}{4} ). Therefore, the total area is ( 6 times frac{sqrt{3}}{4} = frac{3sqrt{3}}{2} ).Now, plugging ( n = 6 ) into the formula I derived:[frac{6}{2} sin left( frac{2pi}{6} right ) = 3 sin left( frac{pi}{3} right ) = 3 times frac{sqrt{3}}{2} = frac{3sqrt{3}}{2}]Which matches the known area. So, that seems correct.Wait, but hold on, I remember that the area of a regular polygon with n sides of length s is ( frac{1}{4} n s^2 cot left( frac{pi}{n} right ) ). In our case, the polygon is inscribed in the unit circle, so the side length s is not 1. Let me compute the side length.The side length s of a regular n-gon inscribed in a circle of radius r is ( 2r sin left( frac{pi}{n} right ) ). Since r = 1, s = ( 2 sin left( frac{pi}{n} right ) ).So, plugging into the area formula:[frac{1}{4} n (2 sin frac{pi}{n})^2 cot frac{pi}{n} = frac{1}{4} n 4 sin^2 frac{pi}{n} cot frac{pi}{n} = n sin^2 frac{pi}{n} cot frac{pi}{n}]Simplify ( cot frac{pi}{n} = frac{cos frac{pi}{n}}{sin frac{pi}{n}} ), so:[n sin^2 frac{pi}{n} times frac{cos frac{pi}{n}}{sin frac{pi}{n}} = n sin frac{pi}{n} cos frac{pi}{n}]Using the double-angle identity, ( sin 2theta = 2 sin theta cos theta ), so ( sin theta cos theta = frac{1}{2} sin 2theta ). Therefore:[n times frac{1}{2} sin frac{2pi}{n} = frac{n}{2} sin frac{2pi}{n}]Which is exactly the formula I derived using the shoelace formula. So, that's consistent. Therefore, the area is indeed ( frac{n}{2} sin left( frac{2pi}{n} right ) ).So, summarizing:1. The centroid is at the origin, and due to the symmetry and convexity, it minimizes the sum of distances to the vertices.2. The area is ( frac{n}{2} sin left( frac{2pi}{n} right ) ), which for n=6 gives ( frac{3sqrt{3}}{2} ), matching the known area of a regular hexagon.I think that covers both parts of the problem.Final Answer1. The centroid is at the origin, so its coordinates are (boxed{(0, 0)}).2. The area of the polygon is (boxed{dfrac{n}{2} sinleft( dfrac{2pi}{n} right)}).</think>
