Answer:
Malcolm is showing evidence of gambler's fallacy.
This is the tendency to think previous results can affect future performance of an event that is fundamentally random.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since each round of the roulette-style game is independent of each other. The probability that 8 will come up at any time remains the same, equal to the probability of each number from 1 to 10 coming up. That it has not come up in the last 15 minutes does not increase or decrease the probability that it would come up afterwards.
Not sure if you can do this but it sounds like a velocity/time/distance equation.
d=vt
v=d/t
t=d/v
70 w/m = t
15 pages - 350 w/p
She can type 70 words per minute (w/m). There are 350 words per page (w/p). She needs 15 pages. So first you have to find how many words she can type in one hour. 60 minutes in an hour, she can type 70 w/p.
60x70=4,200 words per hour (w/h).
Next you should find out how many words on 15 pages total.
350x15= 5,250.
I would put 4,200/5,250 as a fraction to gage how much she has left. She has most of it done already in ONE HOUR. Reduced, she has done 4/5s of the essay. Now you just need to get 1/5 of 5250, which is 1050.
She needs to do 1050 words. If one minute is 70, do 1050/70 which is 15.
The answer is 1 hour and 15 minutes.
I think... ;)
4x - 2 = 2x + 8
2x -2 = 8
2x = 10
x = 5
4(5)-2 = 2(5)+8
20-2 = 10+8
18 = 18
