Three dice are rolled. If the probability of getting different numbers on the three dice is $$\frac{p}{q}$$, where $$p$$ and $$q$$ are co-prime, then $$q-p$$ is equal to :
For the system of equations
$$x+y+z=6$$
$$x+2 y+\alpha z=10$$
$$x+3 y+5 z=\beta$$, which one of the following is NOT true?
Let the sets A and B denote the domain and range respectively of the function $$f(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\lceil x\rceil-x}}$$, where $$\lceil x\rceil$$ denotes the smallest integer greater than or equal to $$x$$. Then among the statements
(S1) : $$A \cap B=(1, \infty)-\mathbb{N}$$ and
(S2) : $$A \cup B=(1, \infty)$$
If the mean and variance of the frequency distribution
$$x_i$$ | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
$$f_i$$ | 4 | 4 | $$\alpha$$ | 15 | 8 | $$\beta$$ | 4 | 5 |
are 9 and 15.08 respectively, then the value of $$\alpha^2+\beta^2-\alpha\beta$$ is ___________.
