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!

1. I am a three-digit number. My tens digit is 3 more than my
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

1. 474

2. 397

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If the three-digit number is xyz, then y = z + 3.

When rounded to the nearest ten and reduced by 320, the result is 150.  150 + 320 = 470, so x = 4.  y = 6 if z ≥ 5, and y = 7 if z < 5.

So the number is either 463 or 474.  463 doesn't round to 470, so the answer is 474.

2. If the three-digit number is xyz, then z = x + 4.  y is the largest of the three digits; since all the digits are odd, y is either 5, 7, or 9.  So z is either 5 or 7, and x is either 1 or 3.

When rounded to the nearest hundred and reduced by 100, the result is 300.  100 + 300 = 400, and y > 5, so xyz is rounded up to 400, which means x = 3.  So z = 7 and y = 9.

The answer is 397.
