Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value is the probability times the frequency.

3 = 1/6 × n

n = 18

Note: the use of the word "odds" is very misleading here.  Odds are the ratio of number of successes to number of failures:

S / F

Probability is the ratio of number of successes to number of all outcomes:

S / (S + F)

So the probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6.  The odds of rolling a 5 is 1/5.

Furthermore, the word "must" is also incorrect.  The player didn't <em>have</em> to roll 18 times.  They could have rolled three times and gotten a 5 each time.  Or they could have rolled 100 times.  18 is simply the most <em>likely </em>number of rolls needed to get three 5's.

A mechanic charged $220.28 to repair a car. The price included charges for 3 hours of labor and $126.53 for parts. How much does
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

$31.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up an equation.

$220. 28 - total

$126.53 - cost for parts

3 - # of hours

? - price per hour

3h + $126.53 = $220.28

Subtract $126.53 from both sides.

3h = $93.75

Divide by 3.

h = $31.25

The mechanic charges $31.25 per hour for labor.

Hope that helps.
