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}

How many solutions does the equation −4y + 4y + 2 = 2 have?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−4y+4y+2=2

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−4y+4y+2=2

(−4y+4y)+(2)=2(Combine Like Terms)

2=2

2=2

Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides.

2−2=2−2

0=0

Answer:

All real numbers are solutions.

Archy [21]

Answer:

x = 180 - (37 + 53)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 37 + 53 = 180

x = 180 - (37 + 53)

All of the angles have to equal 180 due to the supplementary angles thm
