A tetrahedron is a triangular pyramid with 4 equilateral faces. Han has a box of tetrahedrons with each of the 4 vertices marked

with one of the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. He rolls one tetrahedron and makes note of the number on the vertex that points up. After rolling this tetrahedron 10 times, he notices that the number 1 appears five times. Han suspects that this tetrahedron is weighted in some way to make 1 appear more often than the other numbers. Using another tetrahedron from the box that he has confirmed is fair (all of the numbers tend to be rolled with equal frequency), explain a process Han could use to gather evidence to show whether this tetrahedron is also fair.

Theoretically, the number of the vertex comes at the top must be equal for infinitely many numbers of trials, but it's a tedious job to roll the dice for a large number of times. Rolling the tetrahedron only 10 times will not predict the correct result.

Han suspects that this tetrahedron is weighted in some way to make 1 appear more often than the other numbers.

So, check his suspect experimentally with the help of the concept of center of mass. A fair tetrahedron must have the center of mass at the center of the body.

The given tetrahedron has 4 equilateral triangular faces, so at first, measure all the sides of triangular faces and make sure that all are having the same length.

Then, conduct an experiment to check the location of the center of mass.

Hang the tetrahedron by attaching a thin string at the vertex 1 as shown in the figure and observe the base surface ( triangle 234) whether it is parallel to the ground or not.

Now, repeat the same by hanging it with vertices 2, 3, and 4 and observe the base surface.

For the center of mass to be located at the center of the tetrahedron, the base must be parallel to the ground (flat ground).i.e the hanging string must be perpendicular to the base for all the four cases.

If this is so, then the tetrahedron is a fair tetrahedron otherwise not.

A television network is about to telecast a new television show. Before a show is launched, the network airs a pilot episode and
Basile [38]

Answer:

(E) 0.83

Step-by-step explanation:

We will solve it using conditional probability.

Let A be the event that a TV show is successful.

P(A) = 0.5

A' be event that the show is unsuccessful

P(A') =0.5

Let B be the event that the response was favorable

P(B) = 0.6

Let B' be the event that the response was unfavorable/

P(B') = 0.4

P(A∩B) = 0.5 and P(A∩B') = 0.3

We need to find new show will be successful if it receives a favorable response.

P(A/B) = \frac{P(A∩B)}{P(B)}

           = 0.5/0.6

           = 0.833

Answer:

The relation is not a function

The domain is {1, 2, 3}

The range is {3, 4, 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

A relation of a set of ordered pairs x and y is a function if

  • Every x has only one value of y
  • x appears once in ordered pairs

<u><em>Examples:</em></u>

  • The relation {(1, 2), (-2, 3), (4, 5)} is a function because every x has only one value of y (x = 1 has y = 2, x = -2 has y = 3, x = 4 has y = 5)
  • The relation {(1, 2), (-2, 3), (1, 5)} is not a function because one x has two values of y (x = 1 has values of y = 2 and 5)
  • The domain is the set of values of x
  • The range is the set of values of y

Let us solve the question

∵ The relation = {(1, 3), (2, 3), (3, 4), (2, 5)}

∵ x = 1 has y = 3

∵ x = 2 has y = 3

∵ x = 3 has y = 4

∵ x = 2 has y = 5

→ One x appears twice in the ordered pairs

∵ x = 2 has y = 3 and 5

∴ The relation is not a function because one x has two values of y

∵ The domain is the set of values of x

∴ The domain = {1, 2, 3}

∵ The range is the set of values of y

∴ The range = {3, 4, 5}
