Answer: 7/12
Step-by-step explanation:
number of times it landed on A = 6
number of times it landed on B = 21
number of times it landed on C = 9
Total number = 36
The empirical probability that the spinner will land on B is given by
P(B) = number of times it landed on B / Total number , that is
p(B) = 21/36
P(B) =7/12
Note: Empirical means verifiable by observation or experience rather than theory and it was verified that it landed on B 21 times.
There are six possible outcomes
To be honest there are lots of different reasons. You might want to try and talk to him to let him now how he is making you feel.
Find rates of change until you find a constant.
dy/dx=1,2,3,4,5,6
d2y/dx2=1,1,1,1,1
So the acceleration, d2y/d2x, is constant. This means that this is a quadratic sequence of the form a(n)=an^2+bn+c. So we can set up a system of equations to solve for the values of a,b, and c. Using the first three points, (1,1), (2,2), and (3,4) we have:
9a+3b+c=4, 4a+2b+c=2, and a+b+c=1 getting the differences...
5a+b=2 and 3a+b=1 and getting this difference...
2a=1, so a=1/2 making 5a+b=2 become:
2.5+b=2, so b=-1/2, making a+b+c=1 become:
1/2-1/2+c=1, so c=1 so the rule is:
a(n)=0.5x^2-0.5x+1 or if you prefer to not have decimals
a(n)=(x^2-x+2)/2
