The sums that appear when two fair? four-sided dice? (tetrahedrons) with sides 1?, 2?, 3?, and 4 are tossed

Answer:

The possible sums are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 (but they're not all equally likely)

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, the only way to get a sum of 2 is to roll a 1 and then a 1

And the only way to get a sum of 8 is to roll a 4 and then a 4 (imagine you don't roll the two dice simultaneously; this will help you to see the "other possibilities" that aren't obvious at first)

The probability of rolling a sum of 2 = probability of rolling sum of 8 (1/16 probability for each)

If you roll a 1 then a 2, or a 2 then a 1, there are 2 ways to get a sum of 3

If you roll a 3 then a 1, a 2 then a 2, or a 1 then a 3, there are 3 ways to get a sum of 4

If you roll a 4 then a 1, a 3 then a 2, a 2 then a 3, or a 1 then a 4, there are 4 ways to get a sum of 5 (5 is the most likely sum)

If you roll a 4 then a 2, a 3 then a 3, or a 2 then a 4, there are 3 ways to get a sum of 6

If you roll a 4 then a 3, or a 3 then a 4, there are 2 ways to get a sum of 7

Suppose you have an experiment where you flip a coin three times. You then count the number of heads. a.)State the random variab
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

a) X=number of heads observed when flipped the coin 3 times

b) the probability distribution is

P(X=x) = 3/4 * (1/[(3-x)!*x!)])

or

P(X)=1/8 for x=0 and x=3 and P(X)=3/8 for x=1 and x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

the random variable will be X=number of heads observed when flipped the coin 3 times . Since the result from each flip is independent of the others , then X has a binomial probability distribution , such that

P(X=x)= n!/[(n-x)!*x!)*p^x * (1-p)^(n-x)

where

n= number of times the coin is flipped = 3

p= probability of getting heads in a flip of the coin = 1/2 (assuming that the coin is fair)

therefore

P(X=x)= 3!/[(3-x)!*x!)*(1/2)^(3-x) * (1/2)^x = 3!/[(3-x)!*x!) * (1/2)³ = 3/4 * (1/[(3-x)!*x!)])

P(X=x)= 3/4 * (1/[(3-x)!*x!)])   , for x=[0,1,2,3]

for x=0 and x=3 → P(X)=3/4 * (1/[3!*0!)]) = 1/8

for x=1 and x=2 → P(X)=3/4 * (1/[2!*1!)]) = 3/8

we can verify that is correct since the sum of all the probabilities from x=0 to x=3 is  1/8 +  3/8+ 3/8+ 1/8 = 1

!!! CAN SOMEONE HELP !!! (PLEASE ILL GIVE BRAINLIST)
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

120 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

the total bill was $58 so we have to subtract the $40 monthly bill part to find how much extra money she paid because her call was over 200 minutes

58-40=18

Then divide the $18 by $0.15 since the $18 is the total amount of each time she was charged $0.15 for going 1 minute over 200 minutes

18÷0.15 = 120

120 is te Amount Of minutes she went over her 200 minute limit
