Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Six dice (each of a different color) are rolled. Since the number of times the 6 dice were rolled isn't stated, take it to be 1.

Hence, 6 dice are rolled at once for this experiment.

Of interest is the number of dice that show a "one". In other words, the variable in question (X) is:

The number of dots that show on the upward face of the rolled dice.

The values that X may take on are:

1  2  3  4  5  6

On average, how many dice would you expect to show a one?

One die.

How is this gotten? By finding the probability that a one or one dot appears when the 6 dice are rolled at once. Since there are 6 dice in number, and each die has the same 6 faces containing dots, the probability of getting a one is 1/6. In this case, one out of 6 dice is expected to show one dot.

Find the probability that all six dice show a dot in just one toss.

Logically, this probability is going to be very small! It is almost impossible for all 6 dice to land on the same face in just a single toss. In other words, expect many decimal places in the probability figure.

1/6 divided by 6  = 0.167/6  = 0.028 approximated to three decimal places.

This would also represent the probability that 2 dots, 3 dots, or any other number of dots appears on all dice in one toss!

Is it more likely (in this experiment) that 3 or 4 dice will show a one (a single dot)?

The answer is yes! It is more likely that 3 or 4 dice (instead of all 6) will show a one or will show the same number of dots.

Kudos!

Compute the probability of randomly selecting a three or club.
Pavlova-9 [17]
Find the total number of cards in a deck. Count all the # 3’s total cards/#3 cards
Count all the clubs total card/ clubs
Not sure if you are counting 3’s & clubs together. If you are, total cards/ both
So all you have to do is count & then divide to get the probability.

The first thing you should do is calculate the volume of the prism.
 We have then:
 V = h * L ^ 2
 Where,
 L: side of the square base.
 h: height.
 Substituting we have:
 V = (0.5) * (1) ^ 2 = 0.5 feet ^ 3.
 Then, we can make the following rule of three:
 1.5 feet ^ 3 ---> 6
 0.5 feet ^ 3 ---> x
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (0.5 / 1.5) * (6) = 2 $
 Answer:
 it will cost Sara 2 $ to completely fill her planter with soil
