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)
=
= 
1 2/5 + 3 1/2
= 7/5 + 7/2
= ((7x2)+(7x5))/(5x2)
=(14+35)/10
=49/10
=4 9/10
Answer:
A=80 square feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we find the area of the model. 6*4=24. Now, due to the ratio of 1:40, we know that every inch is actually forty inches. So, you do this:
24*40=960.
So, the area of the actual living room is 960 inches. Or 80 feet.
Answer:
The equation relates the variables is y = 8x ⇒ D
Step-by-step explanation:
If x and y vary directly (y ∝ x), then y = k x, where
- k is the constant of variation
- k can be found using the initial value of x and y
∵ The variable x and y vary directly
∴ y ∝ x
→ By using the rule above
∴ y = k x
∵ y = 40 when x = 5
∴ The initial values of x and y are x = 5 and y = 40
→ Substitute them in the equation above to find k
∵ 40 = k(5)
∴ 40 = 5k
→ Divide both sides by 5
∵
= 
∴ 8 = k
→ Substitute the value of k in the equation above
∴ y = 8x
∴ The equation relates the variables is y = 8x
