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:

32.5% Win Rate

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this answer by first:

( 9 ) * x + ( -4 ) * ( 1 - x ) = 0

9x - 4 + 4x = 0

13x = 4

then finally:

13/4 = 3.25 | And to get that into percent you multiply that by 10, giving you a 32.5% win rate. or 325 / 1000. Meaning you will win 325 out of 1000 games you play. Hope this helped!

3. The pay rate for employee C is less than the pay rate for employee B
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

y = xc

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the pay rate for employee C per hour is $c and the pay rate for employee B per hour is $b and the pay rate for employee A per hour is $a.

Now, it is given that b > c > a.

Now, the equation for the possible pay y in dollars per day that C earns working x hours per day will be y = xc.

Therefore, the equation for possible pay to employee C is y = xc. (Answer)
