Find the probability of rolling an odd sum or a sum less than 7 when a pair of dice is rolled

Mathematics

Answer:

For the pairs that satisfy that the sum is less than 7 we have:

(1,1) (2,1) (1,2) (3,1) (2,2) (1,3) (4,1) (3,2) (2,3) (1,4) (5,1) (4.2) (3,3) (2,4) (1,5)

So we have a total of 15 pairs where the sum is less than 7

And for an odd sum we have the following pairs

(2,1) (1,2) (4,1) (3,2) (2,3) (1,4) (6,2) (5,2) (4,3) (3,4) (2,5) (1,6) (6,3) (5,4) (4,5) (3,6) (6,5) (5,6)

A total of 18 pairs and we have 6 pairs who are in both cases for the sum less than 7 and the sum an odd number that represent the intersection and using the total probability rule we got:

P = \frac{15+18-6}{36}= \frac{27}{33}= 0.818

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case when a pair of dice is rolled we have the following sample pace for the outcomes:

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

We see 36 possible outcomes and we want to find how many of these pairs we got rolling an odd sum or a sum less than 7

For the pairs that satisfy that the sum is less than 7 we have:

(1,1) (2,1) (1,2) (3,1) (2,2) (1,3) (4,1) (3,2) (2,3) (1,4) (5,1) (4.2) (3,3) (2,4) (1,5)

So we have a total of 15 pairs where the sum is less than 7

And for an odd sum we have the following pairs

(2,1) (1,2) (4,1) (3,2) (2,3) (1,4) (6,2) (5,2) (4,3) (3,4) (2,5) (1,6) (6,3) (5,4) (4,5) (3,6) (6,5) (5,6)

A total of 18 pairs and we have 6 pairs who are in both cases for the sum less than 7 and the sum an odd number that represent the intersection and using the total probability rule we got:

P = \frac{15+18-6}{36}= \frac{27}{33}= 0.818

The amount of time needed for a certain machine to process a job is a random variable with mean EXi = 10 minutes and Var(Xi)=2 m
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

0.98732

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean = 10 minutes

Variance = 2 minutes

For less than equal 40 jobs

Mean (m) = 40 * 10 = 400 minutes

Variance = 2 * 40 = 80 minutes

Standard deviation (s) = √variance = √80

Converting hours to minutes

X = 60 * 7 = 420 minutes

P(X≤ 420) :

Z = (x - m) / s

P(X≤ 420) :

Z = (420 - 400) / √80

Z = 20 / √80 = 20 / 8.9442 = 2.236

P(Z ≤ 2.236) = 0.98732

Which function in vertex form is equivalent to f(x) = x2 + 8 – 16x?
damaskus [11]

Answer:

f(x)= (x+8)^2 + 200

Step-by-step explanation:

-b/2a gives you the x coordinate of the vertex and then plug it in for x to get the y coordinate. Put it in the formula (f()x= (x-h)^2 +k).

H is the x coordinate and K is the y coordinate

A one-year-old car is now worth AED 12 000.
masha68 [24]

Answer:

AED 15,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Depreciation is a reduction in the value or worth of an asset as a result of use.

Given that the car is depreciated by 20%, it means that the value of the car after the application of depreciation is the result of the original price of the car less the amount of depreciation which has been given as 20% of the original price.

Let the original price of the car (its price when it was new) be T then

T - 0.2T = 12,000

0.8T = 12,000

T = 12,000/0.8

= AED 15,000
