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

Answer:

Volume of round cake pan = volume of cylinder

Volume of a cylinder = $\pi r^2h$ (where r is the radius and h is the height)

Radius = $\dfrac12$ diameter ⇒ $r=\dfrac72=3.5$

⇒ volume of round cake pan = $\pi \times 3.5^2 \times 2=24.5\pi$

= 76.97 in³ (nearest hundredth)

Volume of rectangular cake pan = volume of rectangular prism

volume of rectangular prism = $wlh$ (where w is the width, l is the length and h is the height)

⇒ volume of rectangular cake pan = 6 x 9 x 2 = 108 in³

As 108 > 76.97, the rectangular cake pan has a larger volume

Answer:

$Probablity =P=6.75*10^-^4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The experimental probability can be defined as the ratio of the number of times any particular event has occurred to the total number of times that event has taken place.

Experimental probability = P = No. of event occurrences / total number of occurrences.

In our question statement,

No of naturally occurring triplets are = 3375

Total number of births = 5 million = 5,000,000

Putting values in equation.

$P=3375/5000000$
