By definition of conditional probability,

P(sum is 5 | sum is not 6) = P(sum is 5 AND sum is not 6) / P(sum is not 6)

There are 4 ways of rolling the dice to get a sum of 5 out of 36 possible outcomes:

(1, 4), (2, 3), (3, 2), (4, 1)

so P(sum is 5) = 4/36 = 1/9.

There are 5 ways of getting a sum of 6 out of 36 possible outcomes:

(1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 3), (4, 2), (5, 1)

hence 31 ways of *not* getting a sum of 6, so P(sum is not 6) = 31/36.

The sum is 5 and *not* 6 simultaneously for the 4 ways already listed above, so the intersection of these two events is those 4 ways, which means

P(sum is 5 AND sum is not 6) = 1/9

Then

P(sum is 5 | sum is not 6) = (1/9) / (31/36) = 4/31

Answer:

An ANOVA test

Step-by-step explanation:

You will use the ANOVA test, which is a test that compares the means of more than 2 samples.  Since the teacher used 3 test groups, she would have to use this test if she wanted to do a hypothesis test to determine if the means are equal.  

*This test only tells us if the means are equal, it won't say which is greater than the other.  You would have to do 3 individual hypothesis tests comparing 2 means at a time in order to determine that.

The diameter is a circle is 16cm. Find it’s circumference in terms of π.<br><br> C= ________cm
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Circumference of the circle = 100.53 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of a circle is given by the formula,

Circumference = 2πr

Radius of the circle 'r' = 16 in.

Therefore, circumference of the circle with radius 16 in will be,

C = 2π(16)

C = 32π

C = 100.53 in.
