Stacy uses a spinner with six equal sections numbered 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 to play a game. Write a probability model for this ex

periment, and then use the model to predict how many times Stacy would spin a 6 if she spun 50 times. Give the probabilities as decimals, rounded to 2 decimal places.

Answer:

We estimate to have 8.33 times the number 6 in 50 trials.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider a success to get a 6. In this case, note that the probability of having a 6 in one spin is 1/6. We can consider the number of 6's in 50 spins to be a binomial random variable. Then, let X to be the number of trials we get a 6 out of 50 trials. Then, we have the following model.

P(X=k) = \binom{50}{k}(\frac{1}{6})^k(\frac{5}{6})^{50-k}

We will estimate the number of times that she spins a 6 as the expected value of this random variable.

Recall that if we have X as a binomial random variable of n trials with a probability of success of p, then it's expected value is np.

Then , in this case, with n=50 and p=1/6 we expect to have \frac{50}{6} number of times of having a 6, which is 8.33.

Answer:

Hence, Stacy will spin 6,  8.33 times out of her n = 50 attempts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- First thing we need to note that the probability of getting any number 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 or 6 is independent from each successive n trials.

- We will assume spinner to be unbiased, i.e the section of each number has the same dimensions (area). Then the probability to get any number of the spinner is = 1 / 6.

- We will define a random variable X : The number of times Stacy gets a 6 on n = 50 trials of spin.

- The random variable X has the probability of success p = the probability to get a 6 on each trial is 1/6. The probability remains same for each trial, so we can assume that RV X follows binomial distribution:

                   X ~ Bin ( n , p )

                   X ~ Bin ( 50 , 1/6 )

- The pmf of the Binomial distribution is given by:

                  P ( X = r ) = n C r * ( p )^r * ( 1 - p )^( n - r )

Where, r = The number times she gets a 6 on her spins.

- The expected number of times she Stacy gets a 6 for n = 50 trials is given:

                   E ( X ) = n*p

                              = 50 * 1/6

                              = 8.33 times  

Hence, Stacy will spin 6,  8.33 times out of her n = 50 attempts.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

A. Perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines are perpendicular if their slopes are opposite reciprocals of each other. Opposite, meaning if positive, the other slope is negative, and if negative, the other slope is positive. Reciprocal meaning, the number is flipped upside down, turning fractions into whole numbers and vice versa.

1/9  

-1/9

-9

The slopes are perpendicular
