The Probability that the total showing is either even or less than five = 5/6

<h3>What is Probability?</h3>

The area of mathematics known as probability deals with numerical representations of the likelihood that an event will occur or that a statement is true. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where, broadly speaking, 0 represents the event's impossibility and 1 implies certainty.

<h3>According to the given data:</h3>

The example space for rolling two dice is:

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

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

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

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

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

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

36 events total.

Events that have a sum that is even or less than Five .

Total instances when the aggregate is even or less than Five equals 30.

P(sum is even or less than 5)

= (Total no of favorable event)/(Total no of event)

= 30/36

=5/6

probability that the total showing is either even or less than five = 5/6

A baker is building a rectangular solid box from cardboard to be able to safely deliver a birthday cake. The baker wants the vol

k0ka [10]

The length of the rectangular delivery box must be equal to 4 inches.

Let the length of the box be L.

Let the width of the box be W.

Let the height of the box be H.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Volume of box = 224 cubic inches.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression;

$W = 3 + L$ ......equation 1

$H = 4 + L$ ......equation 2.

Mathematically, the volume of a rectangular solid is given by the formula;

$Volume = length * width * height$ .....equation 3.

Substituting the values into equation, we have;

$224 = L * (3 + L) * (4 + L)\\\\224 = (3L + L^{2})* (4 + L)\\\\224 = 12L + 3L^{2} + 4L^{2} + L^{3} \\\\224 = 12L + 7L^{2} + L^{3}$

Rearranging the polynomial, we have;

$L^{3} + 7L^{2} + 12L - 224 = 0$

We would apply the remainder theorem to solve the polynomial.

According to the remainder theorem, if a polynomial P(x) is divided by (x - r) and there is a remainder R; then P(r) = R.

When x = 3

$(x - 3) = 0\\x = 3$

$P(3) = 3^{3} + 7(3^{2}) + 12(3) - 224\\\\P(3) = 27 + 7(9) + 36 - 224\\\\P(3) = 27 + 63 + 36 - 224 = -98 \neq 0$

We would try with 4;

$P(4) = 4^{3} + 7(4^{2}) + 12(4) - 224\\\\P(4) = 64 + 7(16) + 48 - 224\\\\P(4) = 64 + 112 + 48 - 224\\\\P(4) = 224 - 224 = 0$

Therefore, 4 is one of its roots.

Hence, the length of the rectangular delivery box must be equal to 4 inches.

When an exponential function is given as
f(x)=ab^x, and
knowing that b^0=1, that means that
f(0)=ab^0=a value of function when x=0, or the initial value.
In the case of
f(x)=20.b^x, f(0)=20.b^0 = 20 (initial value)

If b=1.2, then the hourly growth rate is (1.2-1)=0.2=20%.
If b=1.85, then the hourly growth rate is (1.85-1)=0.85=85%.
