Using a number cube and this hat with 5 different-colored marbles, which simulation would help you answer this question? During

the first 70 days of school, Becca’s science class does a lab experiment 2/3 of the time. The class meets Monday through Friday. If you choose a class at random, what are the chances that Becca did a lab experiment on a Friday?

Answer:

  see the attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that the question is interested in the probability that a randomly chosen class is a Friday class with a lab experiment (2/15). That is somewhat different from the probability that a lab experiment is conducted on a Friday (2/3).

Based on our assumption, we want to create a simulation that includes a 1/5 chance of the day being a Friday, along with a 2/3 chance that the class has a lab experiment on whatever day it is.

That simulation can consist of choosing 1 of 5 differently-colored marbles, and rolling a 6-sided die with 2/3 of the numbers being designated as representing a lab-experiment day. (The marble must be replaced and the marbles stirred for the next trial.) For our purpose, we can designate the yellow marble as "Friday", and numbers greater than 2 as "lab-experiment".

The simulation of 70 different choices of a random class is shown in the attachment.

<em>Comment on the question</em>

IMO, the use of <em>70 trials</em> is coincidentally the same number as the first <em>70 days</em> of school. The calendar is deterministic, so there will be exactly 14 Fridays in that period. If, in 70 draws, you get 16 yellow marbles, you cannot say, "the probability of a Friday is 16/70." You need to be very careful to properly state the question you're trying to answer.

train traveling with 100 cars all cars are exact size. the cars are 20 ft long 10ft wide and 10ft tall. how much available volum
jeyben [28]

Find the volume of 1 car by multiplying the length by the width by the height:

Volume of 1 car = 20 x 10 x 10 = 2000 cubic feet.


Now multiply the volume of 1 car by the total number of cars:

2000 x 100 = 200,000 cubic feet total.

and 0\le t\le\pi. Then

\displaystyle\int_{\mathcal C}\mathbf f(x,y)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf r=\int_{t=0}^{t=\pi}\mathbf f(x(t),y(t))\cdot\dfrac{\mathrm d\mathbf r}{\mathrm dt}\,\mathrm dt
=\displaystyle\int_0^\pi(9\cos^2t\,\mathbf i+9\sin^2t\,\mathbf j)\cdot(-3\sin t\,\mathbf i+3\cos t\,\mathbf j)\,\mathrm dt
