A die with six faces has the number 1 painted on three of its faces, the number 2 painted on 2 of its faces, and number 3 on one

face. Assume each face is equally likely to come up.
a) Find a sample space.
b) Find P(odd number).
c) If die were loaded so that the face with 3 on it were twice as likely to come up as the other 5 faces, would this change the sample space?
d) If die were loaded so that the face with 3 on it were twice as likely to come up as the other 5 faces, would this change the value of P(odd number)?

Answer:

a) S = {1, 2, 3}

b) P(odd number) = \frac{2}{3}

c) No

d) Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes. By definition, the elements of a set should not be repeated. Hence, the sample space S = {1, 2, 3}

However, the sample is not equiprobable because each element has different probabilities.

b) P(odd number) = \frac{number of odd digits}{number of faces}=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}

Note that the odd numbers are 1 (on three faces) and 3 (on one face).

c) The fact the die has been biased does not change the possible outcomes. It only changes the probability of getting any given number.

d) Because the 3-face has been loaded, this probability changes. In fact, it is calculated thus:

Let's assume the probability for 1 or 2 is x. Then that of 3 is 2x(because it is twice the others). The sum of probabilities must be 1.

x+x+x+x+x+2x=1

7x=1

x=\frac{1}{7}

P(odd number) = 3\timesProb(1) + Prob(3)

= 3\times\frac{1}{7}+\frac{2}{7} = \frac{5}{7}

Find the surface area.
denpristay [2]

Step-by-step explanation:

a rectangular prism (like this brick) has the same basic structure as a cube (like a die) : it has 6 sides.

while a die has 6 equal sides, a rectangular prism has 3 pairs of equal sides :

top and bottom

left and right

front and back

all we have to do is calculate the areas of the 6 rectangles and add them up. that's it.

your remember, the area of a rectangle is

length × width

in our case we have

top and bottom : 2.5×11.5 × 2 = 28.75×2 = 57.5 in²

left and right : 2.5×5 × 2 = 12.5×2 = 25 in²

front and back : 11.5×5 × 2 = 57.5×2 = 115 in²

so, the total surface area of the whole block is

57.5 + 25 + 115 = 197.5 in²

The heights of women aged 20 to 29 follow approximately the N(64, 2.82) distribution. Men the same age have heights distributed
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:96.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

mean height of women \mu _w=64

Standard deviation of height \sigma _w=2.82

mean height of men \mu _=69.3

Standard deviation of height \sigma _m=2.71

P\left ( X

P\left ( \frac{x-\mu _w}{\sigma _w}\right )

P\left ( Z

i.e. 0.9697=96.97 %
