six ants simultaneously stand on the six vertices of a regular octahedron, with each ant at a different vertex. simultaneously a

nd independently, each ant moves from its vertex to one of the four adjacent vertices, each with equal probability. what is the probability that no two ants arrive at the same vertex?

The probability that no two ants will reach the same vertex is 5/256.

Plane, point B and attention. Ants that move to D can come from either E or C. Ants moving to E can come from either B or D of points A and F of the octahedron. Therefore, there are 2 degrees of freedom to decide which ants move to D, 2 degrees of freedom to decide which ants move to E, and 2 degrees of freedom to decide which ants move to A.

So there are 2× 2× 2=8 ways an ant can move to different points.

There are 8 ways for ants to move to different points.

Points B, there are a total of 8 + 4 + 8 = 16 ways Ant can move to her different points. Aligned the square so that point B is defined as point where the ant moved from point A.

An ant can actually move from point A to 4 different points, so there are a total of 4×20=80 ways an ant can move to different points.

Each ant acts independently and has 4 different points to choose from.

So each ant has a 1/4 chance of moving to the desired location. Since he has 6 ants, the probability of appearance is

= 1/4096

So, the desired answer is 80/4096

= 5/256

The quantities x and y are proportional. Find the constant of proportionality r in the equation y = rx
ELEN [110]

Answer:

r = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can plug in a pair of x and y values and solve for r.

y = rx | Plug in a pair

42 = r*6 | Now divide both sides by 6

7 = r.

We can test this by plugging in r with a pair.

y = (7)x

77 = 7*11, 77 = 77, This equation is correct.

<h3>Answer: B. Graph is nearly symmetrical</h3>

Explanation:

Given information:

  • A number line going from 2 to 11.  
  • 0 dots are above 2.  
  • 0 dots are above 3.  
  • 1 dot is above 4.  
  • 2 dots are above 5.  
  • 4 dots are above 6.  
  • 4 dots are above 7.  
  • 3 dots are above 8.  
  • 2 dots are above 9.  
  • 2 dots are above 10.  
  • 0 dots are above 11.

From that we can see the data set is {4,5,5,6,6,6,6,7,7,7,7,8,8,8,9,9,10,10} which produces the dot plot you see in the image attachment below.

It's a bit tricky to see, but the graph is nearly symmetrical. If we were to remove the blue points in the dot plot I provided, then we'll get a perfectly symmetrical distribution. Symmetrical means one half is a mirror copy of the the other half. The center line of a symmetrical distribution is both the mean and median.
