What is the answer to 1/2-1/5

1 answer:

3 0

First you need to find the common denominator. Think of a number that both 2 and 5 can go in to evenly. 10 is the best number, so, make both denominators 10. What you do to the bottom, you must do to the top.
Now your equation is 5/10-2/10
Your answer is 3/10

Answer:

Counting from the line in the boxes it equals 2/6

the parenthesis has (5,7) and the slope is 2/6. So you would have to solve for y and z

Answer:

1) $\frac{2}{5}$

2) 49.225

3) $\frac{7}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) To find the expected value of the dice we can use the following equation:

$E(x)=x_{1}*P(x_{1})+x_{2}*P(x_{2})+...+x_{n}*P(x_{n})$

So in our problem the values x will be: 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5 and 1/6 and the probavility for all values is 1/6 so the expected values will be: $E(x)=(\frac{1}{1} *\frac{1}{6}) +(\frac{1}{2} *\frac{1}{6}) +(\frac{1}{3} *\frac{1}{6})+(\frac{1}{4} *\frac{1}{6})+(\frac{1}{5} *\frac{1}{6})+(\frac{1}{6} *\frac{1}{6})$

$E(x)=0.167+0.083+0.056+0.042+0.033+0.028=0.409\approx \frac{2}{5}$

2) To find the variance of the expected values we can use the equation:

$Var(x)=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_{i}-\overline{x})^{2} }{n}$

So for our problem will be:

$Var(x)=\frac{(3-10.5)^2+(4-10.5)^2+(17-10.5)^2+(18-10.5)^2}{4}$

$Var(x)=\frac{56.25+42.25+42.25+56.25}{4}$ $Var(x)=\frac{196.9}{4}=49.225$

3) To find the expected value of the dice we can use the following equation:

$E(x)=x_{1}*P(x_{1})+x_{2}*P(x_{2})+...+x_{n}*P(x_{n})$

So in our problem the values x will be: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and the probavility for all values is 1/6 so the expected values will be: $E(x)=(1*\frac{1}{6}) +(2 *\frac{1}{6}) +(3 *\frac{1}{6})+(4 *\frac{1}{6})+(5 *\frac{1}{6})+(6 *\frac{1}{6})$
