Simplify or Evaluate a Logarithmic Expression
Exercise 4 (7 points) Theme: natural logarithm function, probabilities This exercise is a multiple choice questionnaire (MCQ) comprising six questions. The six questions are independent. For each question, only one of the four answers is correct. The candidate will indicate on his answer sheet the number of the question followed by the letter corresponding to the correct answer. No justification is required.
A wrong answer, a multiple answer or no answer gives neither points nor deducts any points.
Question 1 The real number $a$ defined by $a = \ln ( 9 ) + \ln \left( \frac { \sqrt { 3 } } { 3 } \right) + \ln \left( \frac { 1 } { 9 } \right)$ is equal to: a. $1 - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \ln ( 3 )$ b. $\frac { 1 } { 2 } \ln ( 3 )$ c. $3 \ln ( 3 ) + \frac { 1 } { 2 }$ d. $- \frac { 1 } { 2 } \ln ( 3 )$
Question 2 We denote by $(E)$ the following equation $\ln x + \ln ( x - 10 ) = \ln 3 + \ln 7$ with unknown real $x$. a. 3 is a solution of $(E)$. b. $5 - \sqrt { 46 }$ is a solution of $(E)$. c. The equation $(E)$ admits a unique real solution. d. The equation $(E)$ admits two real solutions.
Question 3 The function $f$ is defined on the interval $] 0 ; + \infty [$ by the expression $f ( x ) = x ^ { 2 } ( - 1 + \ln x )$. We denote by $\mathscr { C } _ { f }$ its representative curve in the plane with a coordinate system. a. For every real $x$ in the interval $] 0 ; + \infty [$ , $f ^ { \prime } ( x ) = 2 x + \frac { 1 } { x }$. b. The function $f$ is increasing on the interval $] 0 ; + \infty [$. c. $f ^ { \prime } ( \sqrt { \mathrm { e } } )$ is different from 0. d. The line with equation $y = - \frac { 1 } { 2 } e$ is tangent to the curve $\mathscr { C } _ { f }$ at the point with abscissa $\sqrt { e }$.
Question 4A bag contains 20 yellow tokens and 30 blue tokens. We draw successively and with replacement 5 tokens from the bag. The probability of drawing exactly 2 yellow tokens, rounded to the nearest thousandth, is: a. 0.683 b. 0.346 c. 0.230 d. 0.165
Question 5A bag contains 20 yellow tokens and 30 blue tokens. We draw successively and with replacement 5 tokens from the bag. The probability of drawing at least one yellow token, rounded to the nearest thousandth, is: a. 0.078 b. 0.259 c. 0.337 d. 0.922
Question 6A bag contains 20 yellow tokens and 30 blue tokens. We perform the following random experiment: we draw successively and with replacement five tokens from the bag. We note the number of yellow tokens obtained after these five draws. If we repeat this random experiment a very large number of times then, on average, the number of yellow tokens is equal to: a. 0.4 b. 1.2 c. 2 d. 2.5
