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.

il63 [147K]

Answer:

bus = 43

van 12

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved using simultaneous equations

Let v represent the number of students that a van carries

Let b represent the number of students that a bus carries

the following equations can be derived from the question

3v + 2b = 122 eqn 1

5v + 3b = 189  eqn 2

Multiply eqn 1 by 5 and eqn 2 by 3

15v + 10b = 610  eqn 3

15v + 9b = 567 eqn 4

Subtract equation 4 from 3

b = 43

Substitute for b in equation 1

3v + 2(43) = 122

solve for v

v = 12

jasenka [17]

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract 36 to 28.80

2. Divide the answer to the first price (36.00)- 7.5 divided by 36.00 or 36

3. When you calculate and find the answer as a decimal, then make it into a percentage

So if... you divide 7.5 divided by 36, you get the decimal of 0.2, and when you move the decimals two places only, you get your answer of 20%.

Hopefully it helped you!. Have a good day :-).
