Consider the following scenario. Bob is playing a board game where he blindly picks a tile from a container and moves some space

s. The container has 5 red tiles, 11 green tiles, and 4 blue tiles. If he draws a red tile, he moves forward 12 spaces. If he draws a green tile, he stays put. If he draws a blue tile, he moves backward 15 spaces. Use mathematical calculations to show whether or not the game is fair. That is, show whether Bob will hover around the same space (fair) or, over time, move away from the starting point (not fair). Show all of your calculations for full credit.

Answer:

Yes, the game is fair.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to check that the game is fair we will see that the total expectation is zero.

i.e. Bob will hover around the same place.

There are total 20 tiles in a container.

( Since 5 red tile+11 green tile + 4 blue tile=20 tiles)

The probability of choosing a red tile is:

    Number of red tile/total number of tiles

     =  5/20

Also, the probability of choosing a green tile is:

   Number of green tile/Total number of tiles

 = 11/20

Also, the probability of choosing a blue tile is:

   Number of blue tiles/ Total number of tiles

     =  4/20

Let E denote the expectation of an event.

Hence,

E(Red\ tile)=\dfrac{5}{20}\times (+12)

Since when a red tile is drawn Bob moves 12 spaces forward.

E( Red\ tile)=\dfrac{60}{20}

Similarly

E(Green\ tile)=\dfrac{11}{20}\times (0)

Since when a green tile is drawn Bob remains at the same place.

E( Green\ tile)=0

and

E(Blue\ tile)=\dfrac{4}{20}\times (-15)

Since when a blue tile is drawn Bob moves 15 spaces backward

E(Blue\ tile)=\dfrac{-60}{20}

Hence, total expectation is:

=E(Red\ tile)+E(Green\ tile)+E(Blue\ tile)\\\\\\=\dfrac{60}{20}+0-\dfrac{60}{20}\\\\=0

       This means that he will around the same place.

             Hence, the game is fair.

The ratio of three angles of a triangle is 1:2:3. Find the measurement of the angles
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

all the angles add up to 180 degrees

So 180÷6=30

(i got 6 cuz 1+2+3)

so 1=30

2=30*2=60

3=30*3=90

Each person in a group of college students was identified by graduating year and asked when he or she preferred taking classes:
swat32

Answer:

<em>0.615</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency table is attached below.

We have to calculate, the probability that the student preferred morning classes given he or she is a junior.

i.e P(\text{Morning }|\text{ Junior})

We know that,

P(A\ |\ B)=\dfrac{P(A\ \cap\ B)}{P(B)}

So,

P(\text{Morning }|\text{ Junior})=\dfrac{P(\text{Morning }\cap \text{ Junior})}{P(\text{Junior})}

Putting the values from the table,

\dfrac{P(\text{Morning }\cap \text{ Junior})}{P(\text{Junior})}=\dfrac{\frac{16}{143}}{\frac{26}{143}}=\dfrac{16}{26}=0.615
