(b) Consider the system of components connected as in the accompanying picture. Components 1 and 2 are connected in parallel, so that subsystem works iff either 1 or 2 works; since 3 and 4 are connected in series, that subsystem works iff both 3 and 4 work. If components work independently of one another and P(component works) =.95. Evaluate P(system works).

A monkey has filled in a 3 × 3 grid with the numbers 1, 2, . . . , 9. A cat writes down thethree numbers obtained by multiplying the numbers in each horizontal row. A dog writesdown the three numbers obtained by multiplying the numbers in each vertical column.Can the monkey fill in the grid in such a way that the cat and dog obtain the same listsof three numbers? What if the monkey writes the numbers 1, 2, . . . , 25 in a 5×5 grid? Or1, 2, . . . , 121 in a 11 × 11 grid? Can you find any conditions on n that guarantee that itis possible or any conditions that guarantee that it is impossible for the monkey to writethe numbers 1, 2, . . . , n^2 in an n × n grid so that the cat and the dog obtain the same lists of numbers? Please provide a mathematically rigorous solution with proofs that could be understood by a person at a high school level.
A movie theater in a small town usually open its doors 3 days in a row and then closes the next day for maintenance. Another movie theater 3 miles away open 4 days in a row and then closes the next day for the same reason. Suppose both movie theaters are closed today and today is Wednesday, when is the next time they will both be closed again on the same day?

Donna wants to grow corn on the farm she just bought. The previous farmer grew corn for several decades and kept detailed records of his crop production each year. These records include the amount of sunlight, the amount of rain, the average yield, and other such figures. In an effort to help Donna out, the previous farmer compares his records of using two popular fertilizers: Earthy and SunX. He pulls his records for the 7 seasons he used Earthy on his corn and the records for the 7 seasons that he used SunX on his corn. He uses these records to compare the average corn yield for the 7 seasons that he used Earthy to the average corn yield for the 7 seasons that he used SunX. If applicable, he will recommend the better fertilizer to Donna. (a)First choose whether the procedure described above is an observational study or a designed experiment.
