An unfair die is twice as likely to roll an even number than an odd number. what is the probability of it rolling an odd number?

1 answer:

3 0

The probability is always expressed as a part of the whole. So, it can be in terms of fraction or percentage. The numerator is the number of possible events while the denominator is the number of total events. Let x be the number of times you roll an odd number. So, the number of times you roll an even number would be 2x. The total rolls would then be x + 2x. Thus, the probability of rolling an odd number is

Probability = x/(2x + x) = x/3x = 1/3

Find the unit tangent vector T and the principal unit normal vector N for the following parameterized curve.

const2013 [10]

Answer:

$T(t) = ( -sin(t^2), cos(t^2) )\\\\N(t) = T'(t) / |T'(t) | = (-cos(t^2) , -sin(t^2))$

$T(t) =r'(t)/|r'(t)| = (2t/ \sqrt{4t^2 + 36} , -6/\sqrt{4t^2 + 36},0)$

$N(t) =T(t)/|T'(t)| = (3/(9 + t^2)^{1/2} , t/(9 + t^2)^{1/2},0)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that for any curve $r(t)$

The tangent vector is given by

$T(t) = \frac{r'(t) }{| r'(t)| }$

And the normal vector is given by

$N(t) = \frac{T'(t)}{|T'(t)|}$

For this case, using the chain rule

$r'(t) = ( -10*2tsin(t^2) , 102t cos(t^2) )\\$

And also remember that

$|r'(t)| = \sqrt{(-10*2tsin(t^2))^2 + ( 10*2t cos(t^2) )^2} \\\\ = \sqrt{400 t^2*( sin(t^2)^2 + cos(t^2) ^2 })\\=\sqrt{400t^2} = 20t$

Therefore

$T(t) = r'(t) / |r'(t) | = ( -10*2tsin(t^2) , 10*2t cos(t^2) )/ 20t\\\\ = ( -10*2tsin(t^2)/ 20t , 10*2t cos(t^2) / 20t )\\= ( -sin(t^2), cos(t^2) )$

Similarly, using the quotient rule and the chain rule

$T'(t) = ( -2t cos(t^2) , -2t sin(t^2))$

And also

$|T'(t)| = \sqrt{ ( -2t cos(t^2))^2 + (-2t sin(t^2))^2} = \sqrt{ 4t^2 ( ( cos(t^2))^2 + ( sin(t^2))^2)} = \sqrt{4t^2} \\ = 2t$

Therefore

$N(t) = T'(t) / |T'(t) | = (-cos(t^2) , -sin(t^2))$

Notice that

1. $|N(t)| = |T(t) | = \sqrt{ cos(t^2)^2 + sin(t^2)^2 } = \sqrt{1} = 1$

2. $N(t)*T(T) = cos(t^2) sin(t^2 ) - cos(t^2) sin(t^2 ) = 0$

Simlarly

$r'(t) = (2t,-6,0) \\$

and

$|r'(t)| = \sqrt{(2t)^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{4t^2 + 36}$

Therefore

$T(t) =r'(t)/|r'(t)| = (2t/ \sqrt{4t^2 + 36} , -6/\sqrt{4t^2 + 36},0)$

Then

$T'(t) = (9/(9 + t^2)^{3/2} , (3 t)/(9 + t^2)^{3/2},0)$

and also

$|T'(t)| = \sqrt{ ( (9/(9 + t^2)^{3/2} )^2 + ( (3 t)/(9 + t^2)^{3/2})^2 + 0^2 }\\= 3/(t^2 + 9 )$

And since

$N(t) =T(t)/|T'(t)| = (3/(9 + t^2)^{1/2} , t/(9 + t^2)^{1/2},0)$

A jar at the fishing shop holds 72 worms. A cup holds 8 worms. How many times

Anettt [7]

Answer:

9 times. 72/8=t or 72=8t.

Explanation:

I'm afraid the answer choices are slightly mixed up, but acceptable answers would probably include 72/8=t or 72=8t. Simply put the two numbers into a fraction (72/8) to get how many times larger or smaller the thing is. In this case, it would be 9 times as many worms.
