The "plus x minus two x" part basically means "minus x".

So, "six minux x equals five".

This means that six minus five is x. So, x is one!

Now, let's check this in the problem: replace x with 1. Six plus one minus two ones equals five? Yes, it does!

The answer is x=1.

A spinner numbered 1 through 12 is spun. Find the probability that

anastassius [24]

Answer:

$\dfrac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event of getting an odd number.

P(A) be the probability of getting an odd number.

Total odd numbers here are 6 i.e. $\{1,3,5,7,9,11\}$

Here, total numbers in the game are 12 i.e $\{1,2,3,....,12\}$ .

Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as:

$P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}$

$P(A) = \dfrac{6}{12}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}$

Let B be the event of getting 11.

P(B) be the probability of getting 11.

Total number of possible cases is 1.

$P(B) = \dfrac{1}{12}$

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability that we get 11 and an odd number.

Possible number of cases = 1

$P(A\cap B) = \dfrac{1}{12}$

P(B/A) is the probability that we get an 11 given that it is an odd number.

$P(B/A) = \dfrac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{12}}{\dfrac{1}{2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{6}$

Hence, P(B/A) = $\dfrac{1}{6}$
