The answer would be 8. hope this helps
Answer:
1. More magnets are longer than 2 1/2
2. 10 magnets measure in whole numbers and 5 magnets between 2 whole numbers
3. Because the shortest magnet is 1 inch and the longest magnet is 4 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. There are 7 magnets that are longer than 7 1/2 and only 6 magnets that are shorter than 2 1/2. (The 2 magnets that are exactly 2 1/2 are neither longer nor shorter therefore they do not apply to the question.)
Step-by-step explanation:
the area is
length × width
(3x - 2) × width = 9x² - 4
to find width we could do a real polynomial division or simply recognize the fact that
(a + b)(a - b) = a² - b²
and we see that in our area calculation we are missing the (a + b) factor.
so, width = (3x + 2)
but if you want the division :
9x² - 4 : 3x - 2 = 3x + 2
- 9x² - 6x
-----------------
0 6x - 4
- 6x - 4
----------------------
0 0
again, width = (3x + 2)
Answer:
a) S = {1, 2, 3}
b) P(odd number) = 
c) No
d) Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes. By definition, the elements of a set should not be repeated. Hence, the sample space S = {1, 2, 3}
However, the sample is not equiprobable because each element has different probabilities.
b) P(odd number) = 
Note that the odd numbers are 1 (on three faces) and 3 (on one face).
c) The fact the die has been biased does not change the possible outcomes. It only changes the probability of getting any given number.
d) Because the 3-face has been loaded, this probability changes. In fact, it is calculated thus:
Let's assume the probability for 1 or 2 is
. Then that of 3 is
(because it is twice the others). The sum of probabilities must be 1.



P(odd number) =
Prob(1) + Prob(3)
=
=
