Answer:

Not proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratios:

To tell whether the ratios are proportional or not.

Solution:

In order to tell whether the given ratios are proportional or not, we will reduce the fractions to the simplest numbers by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor and then comparing them. If they are equal then the ratios are proportional else not proportional.

So, the simplest form of 4/2 can be calculated by dividing both by 2 as it is the G.C.F.

the simplest form of 8/6 can be calculated by dividing both by 2 as it is the G.C.F.

Now, since 2/1 does not equal 4/3, hence the ratios are not proportional.

Let us compute first the probability of ending up an odd number when rolling a dice. A dice has faces with numbers 1 up to 6. The odd numbers within that is 3 (1, 3 and 5). Therefore, each dice has a probability of 3/6 or 1/2. Then, you use the repeated trials formula:

Probability = n!/r!(n-r)! * p^r * q^(n-r), where n is the number of tries (n=6), r is the number tries where you get an even number (r=0), p is the probability of having an even face and q is the probability of having an odd face.

Probability = 6!/0!(6!) * (1/2)^0 * (1/2)^6
Probability = 1/64

Therefore, the probability is 1/64 or 1.56%.
