Consider an experiment where two 6-sided dice are rolled. We can describe the ordered sample space as below where the first coor

dinate of the ordered pair represents the first die and the second coordinate represents the second die. If the dice are ‘fair’, then all 36 of these possible outcomes are equally likely. 28. Describe the event E that the sum of the two dice is 5. 29. Find P(E). 30. Let F be the event that the number of the first die is exactly 1 more than the number on the second die. Find P(F|E)

Answer:

  • E = { (4,1) , (3,2) , (2,3) , (1,4) }
  • P(E)=\frac{1}{9}
  • P(F|E)=\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start writing the sample space for this experiment :

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

Let's also define the event E ⇒

E : '' The sum of the two dice is 5 ''

We can describe the event by listing all the favorables cases from S ⇒

E = { (4,1) , (3,2) , (2,3) , (1,4) }

In order to calculate P(E) we are going to divide all the cases favorables to E over the total cases from S. We can do this because all 36 of these possible outcomes from S are equally likely. ⇒

P(E)=\frac{4}{36}=\frac{1}{9} ⇒

P(E)=\frac{1}{9}

Finally we are going to define the event F ⇒

F : '' The number of the first die is exactly 1 more than the number on the second die ''

⇒

F = { (2,1) , (3,2) , (4,3) , (5,4) , (6,5) }

Now given two events A and B ⇒

P ( A ∩ B ) = P(A,B)

We define the conditional probability as

P(A|B)=\frac{P(A,B)}{P(B)} with P(B)>0

We need to find P(F|E) therefore we can apply the conditional probability equation :

P(F|E)=\frac{P(F,E)}{P(E)}   (I)

We calculate P(E)=\frac{1}{9} at the beginning of the question. We only need P(F,E).

Looking at the sets E and F we find that (3,2) is the unique result which is in both sets. Therefore is 1 result over the 36 possible results. ⇒

P(F,E)=\frac{1}{36}

Replacing both probabilities calculated in (I) :

P(F|E)=\frac{P(F,E)}{P(E)}=\frac{\frac{1}{36}}{\frac{1}{9}}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25

We find out that P(F|E)=\frac{1}{4}=0.25

What is the measure for the following ∠?<br> m∠EOD<br><br> 20<br> 120<br> 140
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Part 1) m∠EOD=20°

Part 2) m∠AOD=80°

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the measure of angle EOD

we know that  °

m∠EOD=m∠EOX-m∠DOX

we have

Observing the figure

m∠EOX=140°

m∠DOX=120°

substitute

m∠EOD=140°-120°=20°

Part 2) Find the measure of angle AOD

we know that  °

m∠AOD=m∠DOX-m∠AOX

we have

Observing the figure

m∠AOX=40°

m∠DOX=120°

substitute

m∠AOD=120°-40°=80°

You are considering the purchase of a closed circuit TV monitoring system for your store. The quarterly physical inventory has s
Tcecarenko [31]
If quarterly shrinkage (every 3 months) is 2.5%, then multiplying by $875,495 gives a value of 21887.38, or an average monthly shrinkage of 21887.38 / 3 = $7,295.79.For an employee to monitor the CCTV, it would cost ($7.5/h)(11 h/d)(30 d/m) = $2,475/month. Therefore, it is much cheaper (around 2/3 cheaper) to have an employee monitor CCTV rather than to allow the high shrinkage rate.
