The Bible, a book that is considered the perfect word of a perfect god tells us what the value of Pi is. Let's see verse 1 Kings 7:23
 He also melted a sea of ​​ten cubits from one side to the other, perfectly round; Its height was five cubits, and a cord of thirty cubits encircled it.

 These are a list of specifications for the great temple of King Solomon, built about 950 BCE, and his interest here is that it gives a value of π = 3. If we divide 30 cubits between 10 cubits (which are the measures mentioned in written radical) gives us exactly 3.

 We know that the length of the circumference is calculated l = 2 · π · r; Since 2 · r is the diameter, it can also be said that

 circumference = diameter × π

 If we go back to what the Bible says, the diameter is 5 meters and the circumference of 15:

 circumference = diameter × π -> 15 = 5 × π

 with which the value of π is 3.

 This calculation of Pi is a bad approximation to the real value. The figure of 3 in the Bible compared with the real one which is 3.1416 ... indicates an error of about 6%.

A number is picked randomly in the range [2,8]. If past selection indicates that the numbers picked are less than 5, what is the
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

a) P = 2/7

b) P = 4/7

c) P = 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

In the range of [2,8], we have the following integers which are: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. So this is a total of 7 integers.

a) We look for the probability that the numbers are less than 4, so we conclude that there are possible numbers 2 and 3 out of possible 7, so the required probability is equal to P = 2/7.

b) We look for the probability that the numbers are greater than 4, so we conclude that there are possible numbers 5, 6, 7, 8 out of possible 7, so the required probability is equal to P = 4/7.

c) Based on the previous two examples, we conclude that the required probability is P = 2/7· 1/2=1/7.
