A random number generator is used to select an integer from 1 to 3 inclusive. What is the difference between the estimated proba

bility that a 3 is generated and the actual probability that a 3 is generated?

Step-by-step Answer:

In general, random number generators generate a uniform distribution, and we generally ASSUME that this is so.

If that is the case, the estimated probability of selecting a 3 is 1/3.

The actual probability depends on the generator.  Some as ASSUMED to be uniform, but it could be biased on particular numbers, knowingly or unknowingly.  

Some generators are programmed to generate particular distributions (other than uniform), such as exponential, normal, or any other probability distribution.  In these cases, the probability of selecting a 3 will depend on the distribution.

Even if the generated distribution is known, the actual probability could still be different from the theoretical (or estimated), because that is why we call them "random numbers".

In short, the "actual" probability depends on the characteristics of the generator, of which we have no knowledge.

Answer:

so (know) the two points on the line then select one to be 1x, y1 and the other to be x2, y2 use what i just showed u to calculate the slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Step One: Identify two points on the line.

Step Two: Select one to be (x1, y1) and the other to be (x2, y2).

Step Three: Use the slope equation to calculate slope.

Keith_Richards [23]
56 is in between 48 and 60 (12*4 and 12*5). The largest whole number it can be put into is 4. 56-48 equals 8 eggs left.

Which expression is equivalent to (^4√5^3)^(1/2)<br><br>5^6<br>5^3/8<br>5^16/3<br>5^2/3
AURORKA [14]
Hello!

To solve this, we must solve the equation..

(^4√5³)^(1/2) = 1.82...

It can't be A because 5^6 = 15625

It can't be C because 5^16/3 = 5343.67...

It can't be D because 5^2/3 = 2.92...

It can be B because 5^3/8 also equals 1.82...

So, (^4√5³)^1/2 = 5^3/8.

Hope this helps! ☺♥
