I roll a fair die twice and obtain two numbers X1= result of the first roll and X2= result of the second roll. Given that I know

X1+X2=7, what is the probability that X1=4 or X2=4?

By definition of conditional probability,

P(X_1=4\text{ or }X_2=4\mid X_1+X_2=7)=\dfrac{P((X_1=4\text{ or }X_2=4)\text{ and }X_1+X_2=7)}{P(X_1+X_2=7)}

=\dfrac{P((X_1=4\text{ and }X_1+X_2=7)\text{ or }(X_2=4\text{ and }X_1+X_2=7))}{P(X_1+X_2=7)}

Assuming a standard 6-sided fair die,

  • if X_1=4, then X_1+X_2=7 means X_2=3; otherwise,
  • if X_2=4, then X_1=3.

Both outcomes are mutually exclusive with probability \frac1{36} each, hence total probability \frac2{36}=\frac1{18}.

Of the 36 possible outcomes, there are 6 ways to sum the integers 1-6 to get 7:

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

and so a sum of 7 occurs \frac6{36}=\frac16 of the time.

Then the probability we want is

P(X_1=4\text{ or }X_2=4\mid X_1+X_2=7)=\dfrac{\frac1{18}}{\frac16}=\frac13

What is the one-hundredth term in the sequence 14, 19, 24, 29, 34…?
anzhelika [568]
Rule: look at the sequence. It has the last number as 4 then 9 then for. 4 for odd numbers(odd term numbers like number 3,5 so on) so the last number of the 100 term is 9. It’s 509.

ALGEBRA HELP!! Write an exponential function represented by the table.
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

y=-50*0.2^x

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for an exponential function is:

y=a*b^x

what do we multiply -50 by to get -10?

-50x=-10

x=-10/-50

x=1/5

x=2/10

x=0.2

This initial value here is -50, it is the first in the table

y=-50*0.2^x
