Hello from MrBillDoesMath!


Answer:  The quotient is not a number at all. It's simply undefined.


Discussion:

Consider the numbers "a" and "b" and further suppose that

a/0 = b

Multiplying both sides by 0 gives

(a/0) * 0 = b * 0

Cancelling the highlighted 0s gives a = 0!. Something is wrong here as  "a" is not equal to zero!  The error was produced by assuming the divison by 0 yield a number.


You will encounter this "divide by zero" matter several times in a Calculus courses.


Regards, MrB

Which of the following could be the probability distribution for a loaded number cube?
Ierofanga [76]
<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

The requirements for a probability distribution are this

  1. The individual probabilities must be between 0 and 1, inclusive of both endpoints. We can say 0 \le p \le 1 where p is an individual probability.
  2. The probabilities must sum to 1.

Condition #1 shown above allows us to rule out choice C due to -0.10 not being in the interval from 0 to 1.

We can also rule out choice D since the probabilities sum to this

0.20+0.15+0.20+0.20+0.20+0.20 = 1.15

The sum is too large. The sum needs to be 1.00 or just 1.

So that leaves choice A or choice B as the possible answer. Both distributions fit conditions #1 and #2 as shown above (I'll let you confirm these facts). However, choice A is ruled out because that distribution is considered fair. Each probability for choice A is equal, so each side of the cube is equally likely to be landed on.

For choice B, the probabilities are different, so we don't have a fair cube here and it is considered loaded or biased.

Solve for x. please explain in detail
Sholpan [36]

Use the cosine formula

Cos(angle) = adjacent/ hypotenuse


cos(30) = x/8

Cos(30) can be written as sqrt(3)/2

Now you have :

sqrt(3)/2 = x/8

Multiply both sides by 8:

X = sqrt(3)/2 x 8

Simplify:

X = 4sqrt(3)
