According to records from 50 years, there is a 2/3 chance of June temperatures being above 80 F. Azul needs to find the probabil

ity that it will be above 80 F for 20 or more days this June. There are 30 days in June. If we use a number cube with the numbers 1-6 and assign 1-4 as a temperature above 80 F and 5-6 as a temperature 80 F or below, what is the best way to peform the simulation?

Record of june temperature of last 50 years

Probability of June temperature being above 80° F from last 50 years

                      =\frac{2}{3}

It means , out of 30 days ,there are  only 20 days , in which temperature is above 80°F.

⇒Probability that it will be above 80° F for 20 or more days this June

                =\frac{20+x}{30}  

where, x is the number of extra days after 20 days in month of june, when temperature is above 80°F.

Value of this Probability will be in between

                \frac{2}{3}\leq P \leq 1  

Now, what Azul wants

 To find the probability that it will be above 80° F for 20 or more days this June.

The Simulation given is

  ⇒There are 30 days in June. If we use a number cube with the numbers 1-6 and assign 1-4 as a temperature above 80° F and 5-6 as a temperature 80° F or below.

Total number of numbers on number cube ={1,2,3,4,5,6}

Favorable Outcome={1,2,3,4}=Temperature above 80° F

Temperature 80° F or below ={5,6}

⇒Probability of getting number {1,2,3,4} on the number cube when rolled once,that is Temperature above 80° F

        =\frac{4}{6}\\\\=\frac{2}{3}

⇒Probability of getting number {5,6} on the number cube when rolled once, that is Temperature 80° F or below

        =\frac{2}{6}\\\\=\frac{1}{3}

This is Incorrect Simulation, as there are chances that , there can be more than 20 days out of 30 days when Temperature goes above 80° F.But Here we have got Probability of temperature being above 80° F for 20 days only, not more than 20 days, which is =\frac{2}{3}

Not,a number

    \frac{2}{3}< \text{Probability} \leq 1.

A package of 3 pairs of insulate gloves costs $22.77. What is the unit price of the pairs of gloves
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

$7.59

Step-by-step explanation:

If 3 pairs of gloves costs $22.77, then 1 pair of gloves costs $22.77 ÷ 3.

$22.77 ÷ 3 = $7.59

1 pair of gloves costs $7.59.
