what do you think the sum of the probabilities for all the possible outcomes must be for any situation. explain

1 answer:

4 0

Let's pose this question a different way: what are the chances that one out of all possible events is going to happen? What are the chances that, if I roll a die, I will roll a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or a 6? What is the probability, if I flip a coin, that the outcome will either be heads or tails? When we take every possible outcome and add their probabilities together, the sum of the probabilities will be 100%, or 1.

Example:
Coin Toss:
Prob of Heads (.5) plus Prob of Tails (.5) = 1
Dice roll:
1/6 (odds of rolling any given number) times 6 (number of possibilities) = 1

10 Pts Multiplying fractions: 5 1 — x — = 6 2

Flauer [41]

Multiply the numerators together. Multiply the denominators together. Then reduce if necessary.

$\dfrac{first~numerator}{first~denominator} \times \dfrac{second~numerator}{second~denominator} = \dfrac{(first~numerator)\times(second~numerator)}{(first~denominator)\times(second~denominator)}$

$\dfrac{a}{b} \times \dfrac{c}{d} = \dfrac{a \times c}{b \times d}$

$\dfrac{5}{6} \times \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{5 \times 1}{6 \times 2} = \dfrac{5}{12}$

Describe how to find the least common multiple of three numbers

notka56 [123]

Find all the prime factors of the three numbers. pick up the common factors, ONCE, then pick up the non-common factors one by one, multiply the factors, the product is the least common factor.
example: the least common multiple of 6, 8, and 15
6=2*3
8=2*2*2
15=3*5
Note: do not write 8 into 4*2, because 4 is not a prime number. you have to break the number down to prime factors only.
Notice that 6 and 8 have a common factor 2, so pick up the 2;
6 and 15 have a common factor of 3, so pick up the 3.
those are the only two shared factors, so 2×3
now pick up whatever is not shared:
the two 2s for 8 and the 5 for 15 is not shared, add 2, 2, and 5 to the multiplication: 2×3×2×2×5=120
120 is the least common multiples of 6,8, and 15

this is basically how it is done. I believe you can explain better in your own words.

If sec 50 = cosec 70, prove that 0 = 7.5°

LiRa [457]

Answer:

The proofing is given below:

Step-by-step explanation:

$Sec 5\theta = cosec 7\theta\\\\cosec (90 - 5\theta) = cosec 7\theta\\\\Now\ on\ comparision \\\\90 - 5\theta = 7\theta\\\\90 = 7\theta + 5\theta\\\\90 = 12\theta\\\\\frac{90}{12} = \theta\\\\0.75 = \theta$

Hence, it is proved
