Sam can solve 30 multiplication problems in 2 minutes how many can he solve in 20 Minutes

2 answers:

4 0

If Sam can solve 30 in 2 minutes, we can find how many he can do in 1 minute by doing 30/2 = 15

If Sam can solve 15 multiplication problems every 1 minute, then we can multiply the number he can do in 1 minute by the number of minutes.

So minutes x problems per minute = answer

20 x 15 = 300

Sam can solve 300 problems in 20 minutes

Hi there!
The question here gives us that Sam can solve 30 multiplication problems in 2 minutes, and we are asked to solve it in 20 minutes. There are many ways to get the answer, but I'll be showing you the easiest method.
Let the number of problems Sam solves in 20 minutes be represented by x
First, write the given information.
30 problems = 2 minutes
x problems = 20 minutes
We can rewrite the given information like this -
$\frac{30}{x} = \frac{2}{20}$
Use cross multiplication to simplify further -
$600 = 2x$
Divide both sides by 2 -
$x=300$
Therefore, Sam can do 300 problems in 20 minutes. Hope this helped!

A fair die is rolled 12 times. the number of times an even number occurs on the 12 rolls has

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For a fair die, there are six likely options; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6

the probability of a even number is 3/6 = 0.5

Since the results of the die roll is independent and each trial is mutually exclusive, the distribution to explain the probability of occurrence will follow a binomial distribution such that n is the number of trials

x = number of successful throws

therefore for a Binomial distribution where

P(X =x) = nCx . P^x . (1-P)^ (n-x)

since p = 0.5, and n = 12, the distribution follows

P(X = x) = 12Cx . 0.5^x . (1 - 0.5)^(12- x)

= 12Cx . 0.5^x . 0.5)^(12- x)

where x = (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

since we are interested in the probability of the number of times an even number occurs

it can occur either as P(X = 0), P(X =1), P(X =2), P(X =3), P(X =4), P(X =5), P(X =6), P(X =7), P(X =8), P(X =9), P(X =10), P(X =11), and P(X =12)

For no even number in 12 rolls,

P(X = 0) = 12C0 . 0.5^0 . 0.5^(12- 0) = 0.000244

For one even number in 12 rolls,

P(X = 1) = 12C1 . 0.5^1 . 0.5^(12- 1) = 0.002930

For two even number in 12 rolls,

P(X = 2) = 12C2 . 0.5^2 . 0.5^(12- 2) = 0.016113

For three even number in 12 rolls,

P(X = 3) = 12C3 . 0.5^3 . 0.5^(12- 3) = 0.053711

For four even number in 12 rolls,

P(X = 4) = 12C4 . 0.5^4 . 0.5^(12- 4) = 0.120850

For five even number in 12 rolls,

P(X = 5) = 12C5 . 0.5^5 . 0.5^(12- 5) = 0.193359

For six even number in 12 rolls,

P(X = 6) = 12C6 . 0.5^6 . 0.5^(12- 6) = 0.225586

For seven even number in 12 rolls,

P(X = 7) = 12C7 . 0.5^7 . 0.5^(12- 7) = 0.193359

For eight even number in 12 rolls,

P(X = 8) = 12C8 . 0.5^8 . 0.5^(12- 8) = 0.120850

For nine even number in 12 rolls,

P(X = 9) = 12C9 . 0.5^9 . 0.5^(12- 9) = 0.053711

For ten even number in 12 rolls,

P(X = 10) = 12C10 . 0.5^10 . 0.5^(12- 10) = 0.016113

For eleven even number in 12 rolls,

P(X = 11) = 12C11 . 0.5^11 . 0.5^(12- 11) = 0.002930

For twelve even number in 12 rolls,

P(X = 12) = 12C12 . 0.5^12 . 0.5^(12- 12) = 0.000244

Final test summation[P(X)] = 1

i.e.

P(X = 0) + P(X =1) + P(X =2) + P(X =3) + P(X =4) + P(X =5) + P(X =6) + P(X =7) + P(X =8) + P(X =9) + P(X =10) + P(X =11) + P(X =12) = 1

Hence since 0.000244 + 0.002930 + 0.016113 + 0.053711 + 0.120850 + 0.193359 + 0.225586 + 0.193359 + 0.120850 + 0.053711 + 0.016113 + 0.002930 + 0.000244 = 1.000000,

the probability value stands
