Tamara finds the sum of two number cubes rolled at the same time. The chart below shows all possible sums from the 36 possible c

ombinations when rolling two number cubes. How many times should Tamara expect the sum of the two cubes to be equal to 5 if she rolls the two number cubes 180 times?

Answer:

Tamara should expect the sum of the two cubes to be equal to 5 20 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space of rolling a number cube are:

S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

If two such cubes are rolled together, then the sum of the two cubes will be 5 for the combinations below:

S₁ = {(1, 4), (2, 3), (3, 2) and (4, 1)}

The total number of outcomes will be, <em>N</em> = 36.

Compute the probability that the sum of rolling two numbered cubes as follows:

P(\text{Sum}=5)=\frac{4}{36}=\frac{1}{9}

Let <em>X</em> = number of time the sum of the two numbers on two cubes is 5.

Two numbered cubes are rolled <em>n</em> = 180 times.

The event of getting a sum of 5 in independent of the other results.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 180 and <em>p</em> = \frac{1}{9}.

The expected value of <em>X</em> is:

E(X)=np

Compute the expected number of times Tamara expects the sum of the two cubes to be equal to 5 as follow:

E(X)=np\\=180\times \frac{1}{9}\\=20

Thus, Tamara should expect the sum of the two cubes to be equal to 5 20 times.

3x+7-6=(8/7)-0<br>Value of x?​
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf x = \dfrac{1}{21}}

Explanation:

\rightarrow \sf 3x+7-6= \dfrac{8}{7}  - 0

simplify the following

\rightarrow \sf 3x+1= \dfrac{8}{7}

subtract 1 from both sides

\rightarrow \sf 3x+ 1 -1= \dfrac{8}{7}   - 1

simplify the following

\rightarrow \sf 3x= \dfrac{1}{7}

multiply both sides by 1/3

\rightarrow \sf 3x \cdot \dfrac{1}{3}= \dfrac{1}{7}\cdot \dfrac{1}{3}

simplify the following

\rightarrow \sf x = \dfrac{1}{21}

What is the shaded portion of the circle
blagie [28]

Answer:

(5\pi-11.6)\ ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of the sector minus the area of the triangle

step 1

Find the area of the circle

the area of the circle is equal to

A=\pi r^{2}

we have

r=5\ ft

substitute

A=\pi (5)^{2}

A=25\pi\ ft^{2}

step 2

Find the area of the sector

we know that

The area of the circle subtends a central angle of 360 degrees

so

by proportion find out the area of a sector by a central angle of 72 degrees

\frac{25\pi}{360}=\frac{x}{72}\\ \\x=72*25\pi /360\\ \\x=5\pi\ ft^{2}

step 3

Find the area of triangle

The area of the triangle is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}(2.9+2.9)(4)= 11.6\ ft^{2}

step 4

Find the area of the shaded region

Subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the sector

(5\pi-11.6)\ ft^{2}
