Karl’s math class is playing a number game. Each student is given a number card containing the numbers 1 to 6. The rules of the

game are that each student must put a cross through two numbers on the card and hand it in to the teacher. The teacher has a bag containing six balls numbered 1 to 6. When all the number cards have been handed in the teacher draws out two balls from the bag. Every student who had chosen the same two numbers shown on the balls wins a prize. If there are 30 students in Karl’s class, how many students are likely to win a prize? Describe your reasoning

By finding the probability, we can expect that 2 out of the 30 students will win the prize.

<h3>How many of the 30 students will win the prize?</h3>

First, we should get the probability of winning this game.

Here the students select two numbers out of 6, just to make the calculations let's say that these numbers are 1 and 2.

Now, we need to get these two numbers in two balls. The probability of getting the ball with the number 1 out of the 6 balls is:

p = 1/6

The probability of getting the ball with the number 2 out of the remaining 5 balls (because we already got one) is:

q = 1/5

The joint probability is then:

P = 2*(1/6)*(1/5) = 1/15.

Where the factor 2 comes to take in account the permutations, for the case where we first draw the number 2 and then the number 1.

Then the expected number of students that will win is equal to the probability times the total number of students:

(1/15)*30 = 2

So out of the 30 students, we can expect that 2 will win.

On Eduardo's workbench are the following
Maurinko [17]

Answer: 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of cans of red paint = 3

Number of cans of blue paint = 5

Number of cans of green paint = 8

Number of cans of yellow paint = 4

Total number of cans of paint = 20

The probability that Eduardo will

choose a can of red paint or a can of blue will be:

= P(red) + P(blue)

= 3/20 + 5/20

= 8/20

= 2/5

The probability is 2/5.

There are 250 bricks used to build a wall 20 feet high.How many bricks will be used to buld a wall that is 30 fet high
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer: 375

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the information that there are 250 bricks used to build a wall 20 feet high, the number of brick used per feet will be:

= 250/20

= 12.5 bricks per feet.

Therefore, the number of bricks that will be used to buld a wall that is 30 fet high will be:

= 12.5 × 30

= 375 bricks.

Therefore, 375 bricks would be used.
