Helene claimed that the expected value when rolling a fair die was 3.5. Steve said that wasn't possible. He said that the expect

ed value was the most likely value in a single roll of the die, and since it wasn't possible for a die to turn up with a value of 3.5, the expected value couldn't possibly be 3.5. Who is right

Answer:

Helene is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, the expected values is defined as the sum of all the possible outcomes that an event can have times the probality of the respective outcome:

x = ∑ p *i,

where x is the expected value, i represents every outcome that can occur, and p is the probability of said outcome.

Now, for the case of a dice, the expected value would be:

x = 1 * \frac{1}{6} + 2 * \frac{1}{6} + 3 * \frac{1}{6} + 4 * \frac{1}{6} + 5* \frac{1}{6} + 6 * \frac{1}{6},

as every outcome has the same chance of happenning. Solving we get that:

x= \frac{1}{6} *(1 +2 +3 +4+5+6) = \frac{1}{6} * 21 = 3.5

Helene is right.

Which solid has a greater volume
Triss [41]

Answer:

The volume of cylinder and the volume of a cone, have equal volume measurements. So, the answer is C).

Step-by-step explanation:

Cylinder:

-Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder. Use both the radius and height for the formula in order to solve and get the volume:

V = \pi r^2 h

V = \pi 2^2 6

-Solve:

V = \pi 2^2 6

V = \pi \times 2^2 \times 6

V = \pi \times 4 \times 6

V = \pi \times 24

V = 24\pi \approx 75.39

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cone:

-Use the formula for the volume of a cone and the radius and height for the formula and solve the formula to get the volume:

V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h

V = \frac{1}{3} \pi 3^28

-Solve:

V = \frac{1}{3} \pi 3^28

V = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times 3^2 \times 8

V = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times 9 \times 8

V = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times 72

V = \frac{1}{3} \pi \times 72

V = 24\pi \approx 75.39

-So, according to the volume of a cylinder and the volume of a cone, They both have the same volume.

Cylinder: 75.39 ft^3

Cone: 75.39 ft^3
