The location of R on the number line will be 15/7.

Number line:

Number line is used for the visual representation of numbers on a straight line.

Basically, Zero (0) is considered to be the origin of a number line. The numbers to the left of 0 are negative numbers and the numbers to the right of 0 are all positive numbers.

Given,

On a number line,

point S is located at – 3 and

point T is located at 9.

Ratio of S and T = 3:4

We need to find the location of point R on S and T.

According to the given details,

The distance from S to T

=> 3 + 9 = 12

Through this we know that,

=> SR + RT = 12 ---------------------(1)

Based on the ratio,

S/T = 3/4

Which is similar to,

SR/RT = 3/4

So,

SR = 3/4 RT -----------(2)

Apply the value of SR on equation (1),

Then

3/4RT + RT = 12

=> 7/4 RT = 12

=> RT = 12 x (4/7)

=> RT = 48/7

Now the location of point R,

=> OT - RT = 9 - 48/7

=> 15/7

Hence "The location of R on the number line will be 15/7".

When a fair coin is flipped, what is the chance of getting about 50% heads- specifically between 40% and 60% heads for n=10 flip

At at least one die come up a 3?We can do this two ways:) The straightforward way is as follows. To get at least one 3, would be consistent with the following three mutually exclusive outcomes:the 1st die is a 3 and the 2nd is not: prob = (1/6)x(5/6)=5/36the 1st die is not a 3 and the 2nd is: prob = (5/6)x((1/6)=5/36both the 1st and 2nd come up 3: prob = (1/6)x(1/6)=1/36sum of the above three cases is prob for at least one 3, p = 11/36ii) A faster way is as follows: prob at least one 3 = 1 - (prob no 3's)The probability to get no 3's is (5/6)x(5/6) = 25/36.So the probability to get at least one 3 is, p = 1 - (25/36) = 11/362) What is the probability that a card drawn at random from an ordinary 52 deck of playing cards is a queen or a heart?There are 4 queens and 13 hearts, so the probability to draw a queen is4/52 and the probability to draw a heart is 13/52. But the probability to draw a queen or a heart is NOT the sum 4/52 + 13/52. This is because drawing a queen and drawing a heart are not mutually exclusive outcomes - the queen of hearts can meet both criteria! The number of cards which meet the criteria of being either a queen or a heart is only 16 - the 4 queens and the 12 remaining hearts which are not a queen. So the probability to draw a queen or a heart is 16/52 = 4/13.3) Five coins are tossed. What is the probability that the number of heads exceeds the number of tails?We can divide
