What is the probability of getting a factor of 6 when you have 1 2 3 4 5 6

1 answer:

6 0

Hello,

I suppose you mean using all those digits one time.

The sum of the digits is a multiple of 3.
Every number formed with those digits is a multiple of 3.

To be divisible by 2 , the number must end with an even digit (2,4,6)

So probability is 3/6=1/2

A rare mutation only occurs in 1 in every 2048 generations of fruit flies. We can assume that whether or not the mutation occurs

sergey [27]

Answer:

(A) 0.0244

(B) 1 (not 1.47 as is calculated) since probability values are between 0 and 1; 0 and 1 inclusive

Step-by-step explanation:

The rare mutation only occurs in 1 generation, out of every 2048 generations. This implies that the next occurrence will fall in or within the next 2048 generations (2 generations in 4096 generations, will have the rare mutation).

(A) The probability of occurrence of this mutation at least once (at most infinity) in 50 generations of fruit flies will surely be less than, as 50 is less than 2048.

The accurate probability is gotten when 50 is divided by 2048

50÷2048 = 0.0244

(B) The probability of seeing this mutation at least once (at most infinity) in 3000 generations would have been 1.47 but for 3 reasons;

- The full question already tells that the mutation will occur once in every 2048 generations and 3000 is greater than 2048, hence there will be a sure occurrence within 3000 generations.

- Question (b) asks you to calculate the probability of seeing this mutation at least once in 3000 generations so, the probability is 1 (representing full probability).

- In probability theory or statistics, all probability values fall within 0 and 1; with 0 representing no occurrence at all and 1 representing full occurrence.

Verify that the points are the vertices of a parallelogram and find its area. (2,-1,1), (5, 1,4), (0,1,1), (3,3,4)

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Area = 13.15 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the given vertices be represented as follows:

A(2, -1, 1) = 2i - j + k

B(5, 1, 4) = 5i + j + 4k

C(0, 1, 1) = 0i + j + k

D(3, 3, 4) = 3i + 3j + 4k

(i) Let's calculate the vectors of all the sides:

$\\$ AB = B - A = (5i + j + 4k) - (2i - j + k)

AB = 5i + j + 4k - 2i + j - k [Collect like terms]

AB = 3i + 2j + 3k

BC = C - B = (0i + j + k) - (5i + j + 4k)

BC = 0i + j + k - 5i - j - 4k [Collect like terms]

BC = -5i + 0j - 3k

CD = D - C = (3i + 3j + 4k) - (0i + j + k)

CD = 3i + 3j + 4k - 0i - j - k [Collect like terms]

CD = 3i + 2j + 3k

DA = A - D = (2i - j + k) - (3i + 3j + 4k)

DA = 2i - j + k - 3i - 3j - 4k [Collect like terms]

DA = -i - 4j - 3k

AC = C - A = (0i + j + k) - (2i - j + k)

AC = 0i + j + k - 2i + j - k [Collect like terms]

AC = -2i + 2j

BD = D - B = (3i + 3j + 4k) - (5i + j + 4k)

BD = 3i + 3j + 4k - 5i - j - 4k [Collect like terms]

BD = -2i + 2j

(ii) From the results in (i) above, we can deduce that;

AB = CD This implies that AB || CD [AB is parallel to CD]

AC = BD This implies that AC || BD [AC is parallel to BD]

(iii) Therefore, ABDC is a parallelogram since opposite sides (AB and CD) are parallel. Hence, the points are vertices of a parallelogram

Now let's calculate the area

To find the area of the parallelogram, we find the magnitude of the cross product of any two adjacent sides.

In this case, we'll choose AB and AC

Area = |AB X AC|

Where;

$AB X AC = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\3&2&3\\-2&2&0\end{array}\right]$

AB X AC = i(0 - 6) - j(0 + 6) + k(6 + 4)

AB X AC = - 6i - 6j + 10k

|AB X AC| = $\sqrt{(-6)^2 + (-6)^2 + (10)^2}$

|AB X AC| = $\sqrt{172}$

|AB X AC| = 13.15

Area = 13.15 square units.

PS: ACBD is also a parallelogram. The diagram has also been attached to this response.
