Each of the faces of a fair six-sided number cube is numbered with one of the numbers 1 through 6, with a different number appea

ring on each face. Two such number cubes will be tossed, and the sum of the numbers appearing on the faces that land up will be recorded. What is the probability that the sum will be 4, given that the sum is less than or equal to 6 ?

Answer:

0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

If two number cubes as tossed then the total possible out comes are

Total = {(1,1),(2,1),(3,1),(4,1),(5,1),(6,1),(1,2),(2,2),(3,2),(4,2),(5,2),(6,2),(1,3),(2,3),(3,3),(4,3),(5,3),(6,3),(1,4),(2,4),(3,4),(4,4),(5,4),(6,4),(1,5),(2,5),(3,5),(4,5),(5,5),(6,5),(1,6),(2,6),(3,6),(4,6),(5,6),(6,6)}

Number of elements in sample space are

n(S)=36

Let A and B represent the following events.

A = The sum will be 4.

A = {(1,3),(2,2),(3,1)}

n(A) = 3

B = The sum is less than or equal to 6.

B = {(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(4,1),(4,2),(5,1)}

n(B)=15

Intersection of both events is

A∩B = {(1,3),(2,2),(3,1)}

n(A∩B) = 3

P(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{3}{36}

P(B)=\dfrac{n(B)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{15}{36}

P(A\cap B)=\dfrac{n(A\cap B)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{3}{36}

We need to find the probability that the sum will be 4, given that the sum is less than or equal to 6.

P(\frac{A}{B})=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}

P(\frac{A}{B})=\dfrac{\frac{3}{36}}{\frac{15}{36}}

P(\frac{A}{B})=\dfrac{3}{15}

P(\frac{A}{B})=\dfrac{1}{5}

P(\frac{A}{B})=0.2

Therefore, the required probability is 0.2.

What is 204,902 is scientific notation? also 124,510 in scientific notation.
Nesterboy [21]
204 902.0

124 510.0

Move the decimal point to the left, until you have a number less than 10.

204 902 = 2.04902 × 10⁵

124 510 = 1.2451  × 10⁵

IgorC [24]

Answer:

The expected value can be calculated as:

Es = x₁*p₁ + x₂*p2 + .....

where xₙ is the event (the amount of money that you win or lose, and pₙ is the probability for the event)

for example, in a 10 side dice, the probability of obtaining a specific number is 1/10.

we have a d10 i guess (a dice with 10 sides, 1 to 10)

if you roll from 1 to 7, nothing happens.

If you roll an 8, you lose $1500

if you roll a 9, you lose $75

if you roll a 10, you lose $2000 (and the game)

the expected value is,

Es = 1/10*(7*0 - 1*$1500 - 1*$75 - 1*$2000) = -$357

in the second case, you start paying $500.

if you roll a 7, you must pay $1000, if else, nothing happens.

Then the expected value is

Es = -$500 - 1/10*(-1*$1000 + 9*$0) = -$600

So the expected value is smaller in this case, so the deal is not fair
