I have an unlimited supply of standard 6-sided dice. What's the fewest number of dice that I have to simultaneously roll to be a

t least 90% likely to roll at least one 6?
You may use a calculator to help you with the computations if you like -- in fact you'll almost certainly want to -- but your final answer should be a positive integer, and you should explain how you got it.

What does the "In" mean when, for example, you say (In5/6)

P( rolling 6) = 1/6
P(NOT rolling 6) = 5/6
P(AT least one 6) = 1 - 5/6
P(After x number of trials to obtain at least one 6) = 0.9
Then 0.9 = 1 - (5/6)ˣ

0.9 - 1 =  - (5/6)ˣ
- 0.1 =  - (5/6)ˣ   → (5/6)ˣ = 0.1

x(ln 5/6) = ln(0.1)

x = ln0.1) / ln(5/6)  = 12.63 ≈ 13 times

A man is on a diet and goes into a shop to buy some turkey slices. He is given 3 slices which together weigh 1/3 of a pound, but
Ghella [55]
The three slices are each approximately 1/9 pound in weight, and, since 2/9 is less than 1/4, he can eat 2 whole slices and be okay. If he wants to eat partial slices, then he could eat 2 1/4 slices, as each slice weighs 4/36 pounds, so 2 slices would equal 8/36 pounds, leaving 1/36 pound left over in his diet, which is a quarter of the third slice.

There are 2.54 cm in 1 inch. they are 100 cm in 1 m, to the nearest meter, how many meters are in 474 inches
zlopas [31]

Multiply total meters by 100 to get total centimeters:

6 meters x 100 = 600 centimeters.

Now divide total centimeters by 2.554 to get total inches:

600 centimeters / 2.54 = 236.22 inches.

Rounded to the nearest inch = 236 inches.
