Answer:
9 red tiles
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of tiles:
Total number of red tiles:
Probability of getting red in one draw:
<em>This means that you would expect to get red or 30% of the times.</em>
<em>Hence, when you draw tiles 30 times from the bag, you would expect red to be picked 30% of 30 times. This is:</em>
<em></em>
So, you would expect to draw a red tile from the bag 9 times.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To add or subtract you need to make the denominator the same. To do this you need to find the least common multiple.
First of all, note that all integers are either 0,1, or 2 modulo 3 (if you're not familiar with this terminology, it means that every integer is either a multiple of 3, or it is 1 or 2 away from a multiple of 3).
So, we can think of our numbers as
In order to make sure that the sum of any three adjacent numbers is divisible by 3, we have to make sure that any group of 3 three adjacent numbers contains a 0, a 1 and a 2. This is possible only if we arrange our 9 numbers in 3 groups of 3 numbers containing 0,1 and 2 exactly once, repeating always the same pattern.
For example, we could arrange our numbers following the pattern
or
We have possible patterns. Suppose for example that we choose the pattern
One possible way of following this pattern would be the arrangement
In fact, we substituted every '0' with a multiple of 3 (3, 6 or 9), every '1' with a number 1 away from a multiple of 3 (1, 4 or 7) and every '2' with a number 2 away from a multiple of 3 (2, 5 or 8).
This means that, once we fix a patter, we have 3 choices for the first 3 slots, 2 choices for the next 3 slots, and the final slot will be fixed. So, we have
possible ways of following a fixed pattern. Since the number of patterns was 6, we have
possible arrangements.
