<span>From the message you sent me:

when you breathe normally, about 12 % of the air of your lungs is replaced with each breath. how much of the original 500 ml remains after 50 breaths

If you think of number of breaths that you take as a time measurement, you can model the amount of air from the first breath you take left in your lungs with the recursive function

b_n=0.12\times b_{n-1}

Why does this work? Initially, you start with 500 mL of air that you breathe in, so b_1=500\text{ mL}. After the second breath, you have 12% of the original air left in your lungs, or b_2=0.12\timesb_1=0.12\times500=60\text{ mL}. After the third breath, you have b_3=0.12\timesb_2=0.12\times60=7.2\text{ mL}, and so on.

You can find the amount of original air left in your lungs after n breaths by solving for b_n explicitly. This isn't too hard:

b_n=0.12b_{n-1}=0.12(0.12b_{n-2})=0.12^2b_{n-2}=0.12(0.12b_{n-3})=0.12^3b_{n-3}=\cdots

and so on. The pattern is such that you arrive at

b_n=0.12^{n-1}b_1

and so the amount of air remaining after 50 breaths is

b_{50}=0.12^{50-1}b_1=0.12^{49}\times500\approx3.7918\times10^{-43}

which is a very small number close to zero.</span>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When you roll dice, there are 6 possible outcomes.  

In order to not roll a 6, you'd have to roll either 1,2,3,4,5.

So you have a 5:6 chance of not rolling a 6.

But they're asking you to use the chart.

Based on the chart, you've rolled the die 24+10+8+3+30+15=90 times.

Of those 90 times, you rolled a 6 15 times.

Which means you did not roll a 6 90-15=75 times.

Therefore the probability of not rolling a 6, based on the chart, is 75/90=83%.

Notice that 5/6=83% as well.  So this chart is fairly accurate.

Now for number 2.

Based on the chart, odd numbers appear 24+8+30=52 times out of the 90.

So we can say that odd numbers show up 52/90=58% of the time.

If James is rolling the cube 250 times, we know odd numbers will show up 58% of the time so, .58*250=144 is how many times we can expect to see an odd number appear.
