The conditional probability, in a single roll of two fair 6 sided dice, that the sum is greater than 6, given that neither die is a two : 17/25

We know that the conditional probability is given by,

P(B | A) = probability of occurrence of event B, given that event A has

               occurred

           = P(A ∩ B) / P(A)

Here, P(A ∩ B)  means the probability of happening two events A and B at the same time.

We also know that  if  P (B | A ) = P(B)   i.e.,   P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B)  the two events A and B are independent of each other.

For this question, let the dice D1 and D2 are rolled once.  

Let the numbers displayed on the dice be d1 and d2 respectively.  

The dice D1 and D2 are independent.

We need to find the conditional probability that the sum is greater than 6, given that neither die is a two.

Let S represents the sum of the numbers displayed on the dice.

S = d1 + d2

The sum is even, if d1 = d2 is odd OR  if d1 = d2 is even

P(d1 = even) = 3/6

                    =1/2

P(d2=even) = 1/2

P(d1 = odd) = 1/2

P(d2 = odd) = 1/2

So, P(S = even) = [P(d1=even) × P(d2 = even)] + [P(d1= odd) × P(d2=odd)]

                          = [1/2 × 1/2] + [1/2 × 1/2]

                          = 1/2

So, we can say that, the sum is either even or odd which are equally likely and hence its probability is 1/2.

First we find the probability for the sum is greater than 6 i.e., P(S > 6)

The possible combination of d1 and d2 for the sum greater than 6 would be,

{(1,6), (2,5), (2, 6), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6), (6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)}

⇒ n(S > 6) = 21

The number of all possible outcomes = 36

So, P(S > 6) = 21/36

                   = 7/12

Now we find the probability that neither die is a two

⇒ P(neither die is a two) = [P(1) ∪ P(3 ≤ d1 ≤ 6)]  AND  [P(1) ∪ P(3 ≤ d1 ≤ 6)]

⇒ P(neither die is a two) = 5/6 × 5/6

⇒ P(neither die is a two) = 25/36

Now, we find the probability that the sum S > 6 AND  neither die is a two.

The possible combination for  the sum S > 6 AND  neither die is a two would be,

{(1,6), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6), (6,1), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)}

⇒ n(S > 6 AND neither die is a two) = 17

So, P(S > 6 AND neither die is a two) = 17/36

Now we find the conditional probability P(S > 6 | neither die is a two)

⇒ P(S > 6 | neither die is a two) = P(S > 6 AND neither die is a two) ÷

                                                           (neither die is a two)

⇒ P(S > 6 | neither die is a two) = (17/36) / (25/36)

⇒ P(S > 6 | neither die is a two) = 17/25

Therefore, the conditional probability, in a single roll of two fair 6 sided dice, that the sum is greater than 6, given that neither die is a two : 17/25

For f(x)=4sin(x2) between x=0 and x=3, find the coordinates of all intercepts, critical points, and inflection points to two dec
telo118 [61]

Answer:

Intercepts:

x = 0, y = 0

x = 1.77, y = 0

x = 2.51, y = 0

Critical points:

x = 1.25, y = 4

x = 2.17 , y = -4

x = 2.8, y = 4

Inflection points:

x = 0.81, y = 2.44

x = 1.81, y = -0.54

x = 2.52, y = 0.27

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the intercept by setting f(x) = 0

4sin(x^2) = 0

sin(x^2) = 0

x^2 = n\pi where n = 0, 1, 2,3, 4, 5,...

x = \sqrt(n\pi)

Since we are restricting x between 0 and 3 we can stop at n = 2

So the function f(x) intercepts at y = 0 and x:

x = 0

x = 1.77

x = 2.51

The critical points occur at the first derivative = 0

f^{'}(x) = 4cos(x^2)2x = 8xcos(x^2) = 0

xcos(x^2) = 0

x = 0 or

cos(x^2) = 0

x^2 = \frac{\pi}{2} + n\pi where n = 0, 1, 2, 3

x = \sqrt{\pi(n+1/2)}

Since we are restricting x between 0 and 3 we can stop at n =  2

So our critical points are at

x = 1.25, y = f(1.25) = 4sin(1.25^2) = 4

x = 2.17 , y = f(2.17) = 4sin(2.17^2) = -4

x = 2.8, y = f(2.8) = 4sin(2.8^2) = 4

For the inflection point, we can take the 2nd derivative and set it to 0

f^[''}(x) = 8(cos(x^2) - xsin(x^2)2x) = 8cos(x^2) - 16x^2sin(x^2) = 0

cos(x^2) = 2x^2sin(x^2)

tan(x^2) = \frac{1}{2x^2}

We can solve this numerically to get the inflection points are at

x = 0.81, y = f(0.81) = 4sin(0.81^2) = 2.44

x = 1.81, y = f(1.81) = 4sin(1.81^2) = -0.54

x = 2.52, y = f(2.52) = 4sin(2.52^2) = 0.27

Petrolyn motor oil is a combination of natural oil and synthetic oil. It contains
fenix001 [56]
So 5 liters of natural for every 7 synthetic, so 5 / 12 liters are natural oil.

so; 684 × (5/12) = 285 liters of natural oil

Hope this helps!
