Two less than 2 times a number is the same as the number plus 64. What is the number?

1 answer:

8 0

Set it up as an equation. "A number" is x.

2x-2=x+64

Move all of the x terms to one side by subtracting x from both sides, then add 2 to both sides to isolate x.

X=66

The number is 66

Suppose the names of the months of the year are placed in a hat and a name is drawn at random. (a) list the sample space for thi

ollegr [7]

(a)

The sample space is a set whose elements are all the possible outcomes for the experiment. Since we will extract one of the months of the years, the sample space is the set composed by all the 12 months:

$\Omega = \{ \text{January},\ \text{February},\ldots,\text{December}\}$

(b)

An event is a subset of the sample space. Events are often defined by their properties. In this example, the event E is the subset of the sample space defined as

$E = \{ x \in \Omega: x \text{ starts with the letter J}\}$

So, we have

$E = \{\text{January},\ \text{June},\ \text{July}\}$

(c)

If all outcomes have equal probability, then the probability of an event is the ratio bewteen its cardinality, and the cardinality of the whole sample space:

$P(E) = \dfrac{n(E)}{n(\Omega)} = \dfrac{3}{12} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

In words, since there are three months beginning with J out of 12 months, we have a probability of 3 over 12 to pick a month starting with J, which simplifies to 1 over 4.
