Godfrey plays a game in which he throws two fair six sided dice. If he rolls two sizes, he wins 20p, if he rolls one six, he win

s 10p, otherwise he wins nothing. He pays 5p to enter.

Answer:

See explanantion

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- Let the random variable X be defined as the amount Godfrey gains in one turn.

- He wins by getting ( 6 , 6 ) = 20 p

- He wins by getting either ( 6 & any number) = 10 p

- Otherwise he wins nothing..

- Entry fee = 5p

- The entire sample space (S) is defined as:

            1             2             3             4             5             6

    1    (1,1)         (1,2)        (1,3)         (1,4)          (1,5)        (1,6)

    2    (2,1)        (2,2)       (2,3)        (2,4)         (2,5)       (2,6)

    3     .               .              .              .                .             .  

    4      .              .              .              .                .             .

    5      .              .              .              .                .             .

    6      .              .              .              .                .             .

- The total number of outcome in sample space = 36

Godfrey wins, 20p, X = (20-5) p:

   Wins this amount when he gets double sixes i.e ( 6 , 6 ). There is only one outcome out of 36 outcomes in the sample space given above.

   So the probability of Godfrey gaining X = 15 p would be:

                   p ( X = 15p) = ( 6 , 6 ) / S

                                      = 1 / 36

Godfrey wins, 10p, X = (10-5) p:

   Wins this amount when he gets following number:

   ( 1 , 6 ) , ( 2 , 6 ) , ( 3, 6) , ( 4 ,6 ) , ( 5 , 6 )

   ( 6 , 1 ) , ( 6 , 2 ) , ( 6 , 3 ) , ( 6 , 4 ) , ( 6 , 5 ) = 10 outcomes

There are ten outcome out of 36 outcomes in the sample space given above.

   So the probability of Godfrey gaining X = 5 p would be:

                   p ( X = 5p) = ( 10 / 36 )

Godfrey wins nothing, X = ( 0 - 5 )p:

    All the other possibilities = 15 from the sample space which exclude both a single "6" and double " 6 " gives him a loss of entry fee = 5.

   So the probability of Godfrey loosing X = -5 p would be:

                     p ( X = -5 ) = 15 / 36              

- The probability distribution for random variable "X" is:

      X :           -5                 5                   15

   P(X):            15/36         10/36             1/36

Answer:

The Probabilty distribution for the amount Godfrey gains in one turn is then given as

X ||| P(X)

15p | 0.0278

5p | 0.278

-5p | 0.6942

Step-by-step explanation:

If random variable X represents the amount Godfrey gains in one turn.

There are 3 different possible outcomes for X.

- Godfrey pays 5p to enter the game and gets two sixes and wins 20p.

Net gain = 15p

Probability of getting two sixes from two fair dice

= (number of outcomes with two sixes) ÷ (total number of outcomes)

number of outcomes with two sixes = 1

total number of possible outcomes = 36

Probability of getting two sides from two fair dice = (1/36) = 0.0278

- Godfrey pays 5p to enter the game and gets only one six and wins 10p.

Net gain = 5p

Probability of getting one six from either of two fair dice

= (number of outcomes with one six) ÷ (total number of outcomes)

number of outcomes with one six = 2 × n[(6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5)] = 2 × 5 = 10

total number of possible outcomes = 36

Probability of getting two sides from two fair dice = (10/36) = 0.278

- Godfrey pays 5p to enter the game and doesn't win anything

Net gain = -5p

Probability of not getting two sixes or one six.

= 1 - [(Probability of getting two sixes) + (Probability of getting one six on.wither dice)]

= 1 - 0.0278 - 0.278 = 0.6942

Probability of getting not getting two sixes or one six = 0.6942

The Probabilty distribution for the amount Godfrey gains in one turn is then given as

X ||| P(X)

15p | 0.0278

5p | 0.278

-5p | 0.6942

Hope this Helps!!!

Johnathan can jog 3 2/3 miles in 7/8 hour. Determine his average speed in miles per hour.
kap26 [50]
If you would like to know Johnathan's average speed in miles per hour, you can calculate this using the following steps:

3 2/3 = 11/3 miles ... 7/8 hour
x miles = ? ... 1 hour

11/3 * 1 = 7/8 * x
11/3 = 7/8 * x
x = 11/3 * 8/7 
x = 88/21
x = 4 4/21 miles

The correct result would be 4 4/21 miles per hour.

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Starting with ΔABC, draw the dilation image of the triangle with a center at the origin and a scale factor of two.Dilations involve multiplication. Dilation with scale factor 2, multiply by 2.

Given that T is the centroid of △DEF and FT=12
dlinn [17]

The centroid of a triangle divides the median of the triangle into 1 : 2

The measure of FQ is 18, while the measure of TQ is 6

Because point T is the centroid, then we have the following ratio

\mathbf{TQ : FT =1 : 2}

Where FT = 12.

Substitute 12 for FT in the above ratio

\mathbf{TQ : 12 =1 : 2}

Express as fraction

\mathbf{\frac{TQ }{ 12} =\frac{1 }{ 2}}

Multiply both sides by 12

\mathbf{TQ =\frac{1 }{ 2} \times 12}

This gives

\mathbf{TQ =\frac{1 2}{ 2}}

Divide 12 by 2

\mathbf{TQ =6}

The measure of FQ is calculated using:

\mathbf{FQ = FT + TQ}

Substitute 12 for FT, and 6 for TQ

\mathbf{FQ = 12 + 6}

Add 12 and 6

\mathbf{FQ = 18}

Hence, the measure of FQ is 18, while the measure of TQ is 6
