Answer:
a) S = {1, 2, 3}
b) P(odd number) =
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) =
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 . Then that of 3 is
(because it is twice the others). The sum of probabilities must be 1.
P(odd number) = Prob(1) + Prob(3)
= =
So we have the system of equations:
equation (1)
equation (2)
To use substitution, we are going to solve for one variable in one of our equations, and then we are going to replace that value in the other equation:
Solving for
in equation (2):
equation (3)
Replacing equation (3) in equation (1):
equation (4)
Replacing equation (4) in equation (3):
We can conclude that the solution of our system of equations is <span>(7/5, 21/10)</span>
