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 midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints (5,-9) and (-2,-2)
QveST [7]
Another way to solve this is to use the Midpoint Formula.  The midpoint of a segment joining points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is

\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} \right)

So the midpoint of your segment is

\left(\frac{5+(-2)}{2},\frac{-9+(-2)}{2}\right) = \left(\frac{3}{2},-\frac{11}{2} \right)

Perhaps it helps to see that the x-coordinate of the midpoint is just the average of the x-coordinates of the points.  Ditto for the y-coordinate of the midpoint; just average the y's.

2x + 31 = 5

2x = 5 - 31

2x = -26

x = -26/2

x = -13.

Are the dotted lines in the shape parallel, perpendicular or intersecting?
slava [35]

Answer:

<em>Parallel</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The dotted lines are parallel because they have the same <u>gradient</u> to each other, this means the two dotted lines will <u>never</u> touch each other.

What is the mean absolute deviation of the data set? {12, 10, 10, 8, 6, 7, 7, 12}
Simora [160]

Answer:

The MAD of  {12, 10, 10, 8, 6, 7, 7, 12} is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step 1 : Add all the values Up:</em></u>

<u><em /></u>12+10+10+8+6+7+7+12=72

<u><em>Step 2 : Divide them by the number of items or numbers:</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>\frac{12+10+10+8+6+7+7+12}{8}=9<u><em></em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>Step 3: Find the absolute deviations:</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>12-9=3\\10-9=1\\10-9=1\\9-8=1\\9-6=3\\9-7=2\\9-7=2\\12-9=3\\<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>Step 4: Add all the absolute deviations:</em></u>

3+1+1+1+3+2+2+3=16

<u><em>Step 5: Find the mean:</em></u>

\frac{3+1+1+1+3+2+2+3}{8}=2
