In probability and statistics, there is an equation used for repeated trials. In this equation, you find the probability of getting 'r' successful events out of 'n' trials. Moreover, you should incorporate the probability of the success per trial. For a 6-sided face, each side has a probability of success of 1/6. On the other hand, the probability of each side not appearing is 5/6, because when you add these two, it would sum up to 1 as always.

Now, the equation for repeated trials is:

Total Probability = n!/r!(n-r)! * p^(n-r) * q^r

where
n = 5 tosses
r = 1 and 2 (since you want to see the probability of a side less than 3)
p = 1/6
q = 5/6

So, you add the individual probability when r=1, and when r=2.

Total Probability = 5!/1!(5-1)! * (1/6)^(5-1) * (5/6)^1 + 5!/2!(5-2)! * (1/6)^(5-2) * (5/6)^2
Total Probability = 50/243 or 20.58%

Three toed sloths move slowly using as littile energy as Possible.They sleep,Eat,and evening give birth upside down.A baby sloth
Bumek [7]

Answer:

3636 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of duration of baby sloth sleep is shown below:-

A three-toes sloth usually sleeps is

= 101 hours per week.

Number of week is

= 36

Since we need to compute the duration of baby sloth's sleep so we need to multiply the number of weeks with number of hours per week

Therefore,

The duration of baby sloth's sleep in 36 weeks

= 36 x 101

= 3636 hours

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

10 quarters

40 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

q + d = 40

25q + 10d = 625

25 > 10

q < d

25(10) = 250

10(40) = 400

$2.50 + $4.00 = $6.00

an article after allowing a discount of 20% on its marked price was sold at a gain of 20% had it been sold after allowing 25% di
Effectus [21]

Answer:

Rs 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Let MP = m

Discount = 25% of MP = m/4

SP = MP - Discount

= m - m/4 = 3m/4

If profit is 20%, CP = 3m/4 x 100/120 = 5m/8

=> Profit = 3m/4 - 5m/8 = m/8

Given Profit - Discount = Rs 15

=> |m/8 - m/4| = 15

m/8 = 15

m = Rs 120
