Answer:

There is a 51.61% probability that in 10 dice throws, you will throw AT LEAST two ‘3’s on the dice.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each throw, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a '3', or it is not. This means that we solve this problem using the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

There are 6 possible outcomes for the dice. This means that the probability that it is a '3' is \frac{1}{6} = 0.167

There are 10 throws, so n = 10.

Probability of throwing AT LEAST two ‘3’s on the dice?

Either you throw less than two, or you throw at least two. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 1. So

P(X < 2) + P(X \geq 2) = 1

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2).

In which

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.167)^{0}.(0.833)^{10} = 0.1609

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.167)^{1}.(0.833)^{9} = 0.3225

So

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.1609 + 0.3225 = 0.4834.

Finally:

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.4839 = 0.5161.

There is a 51.61% probability that in 10 dice throws, you will throw AT LEAST two ‘3’s on the dice.

What is 6.34 when the 34 is repeating as a fraction
lana [24]

ANSWER:

6_34/99

STEP:

So yes. When a decimal is repeating, you can take the repeating number (most likely a decimal) and put 99 under it. Since 99 cannot be solved, you put 99. So, 34/99. Though we are not finished. There is still the whole 6 number left. So, you do 6_34/99.

Proof:

10x=6.6...

 -x=-0.6...

9x=6

x=6/9=1/3.

What is the volume of the oblique cube
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

\large\boxed{V=\dfrac{1600\pi}{3}\ cm^3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a volume of a cone:

V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2H

r - radius

H - height

We have r = 10cm and H = 16cm. Substitute:

V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi(10^2)(16)=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi(100)(16)=\dfrac{1600\pi}{3}\ cm^3

the temperature of the water in Emily's fish tank was 78 degrees F on Sunday the water temperature was changed by -3 on Monday a
SpyIntel [72]

To solve this problem, let us analyze this step by step. The temperature for each day is as follows:

 

Water temperature on Sunday = 78 degrees F

Water temperature on Monday = changed by -3 degrees F

Water temperature on Tuesday = changed by 3 degrees F

 

We can see that the total change of water temperature from Sunday to Tuesday is:

-3 + 3 = 0

Therefore there is zero overall change. There the integer which represents the temperature change is “0”.

 

Since the overall change in water temperature is zero, hence the temperature on Sunday and on Tuesday is similar.

Water temperature on Tuesday = 78 degrees F

What expression shows the relationship between the value of any term and n, its position in the sequence for the given sequence?
mafiozo [28]
Answer: -3n-2. 

Because for the first term, for example, plug in 1, you'll get -3(1)-2=-3-2=-5, which is the first one. Try it with all terms.
