You're pretty sure that your candidate for class president has about 55% of the votes in the entire school. but you're worried t
Pavlova-9 [17]
Part A:

A component is one voter's vote. An outcome is a vote in favour of our candidate.
Since there are 100 voters, we can stimulate the component by using two randon digits from 00 - 99, where the digits 00 - 54 represents a vote for our candidate and the digits 55 - 99 represents a vote for the underdog.



Part B:

A trial is 100 votes. We can stimulate the trial by randomly picking 100 two-digits numbers from 00 - 99. Whoever gets the majority of the votes wins the trial.



Part C:

The response variable is whether the underdog wants to win or not. To calculate the experimental probability, divide the number of trials in which the simulated underdog wins by the total number of trials.

how many 1 1/2 centimeter cubes can fit into a rectangular prism that has a length of 12 centimeters , a width of 6 centimeters
VLD [36.1K]

The long, straightforward, brute-force way to slog through the problem:

The prism is 12cm x 6cm x 9cm.

Volume of the prism = (12 x 6 x 9) = 648 cm³

Volume of each little cube = (1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5) = 3/375 cm³

Number of little cubes that fit into the prism =  (648 cm³) / (3.375 cm³) = <em>

                                                                                     192 of them</em>


=============================================

The elegant but almost equally long way to master the problem:

The prism is 12cm x 6cm x 9cm.

If each dimension of your measuring cubie is 1.5cm,
then the prism measures

     (8 cubie lengths) x (4 cubie widths) x (6 cubie heights) .

Its volume is  (8 x 4 x 6) = <em>192 measuring cubies</em>.
