A school principal has to choose randomly among the six best students in each grade to be the school captain every month. For th

at purpose, she assigned each student a number. Then she rolled two dice numbered from 1 to 6 three times and selected the student whose number was repeated most often
Which of the following best describes the method used by the principal?
a. It's an unfair method because each student will not post the same outcomes.
b. It's a fair method because each result is an equally likely possible outcome
c. It's a fair method because it's a limited number of students.
d. It's an unfair method because two or more students could get the same results

Answer: b. It's a fair method because each result is an equally likely possible outcome.

The number of students is same as the number of the sides of the dice. In this scenario, the school principal will roll two dices three times and the number that repeated most will be chosen. For every dice, all number will have equally likely possibility so the randomization is fair(1/6 chance for every student).Rolling the dice >1 times will have a problem because there is a high chance to get draw result. It doesn't have any correlation with fairness though.

Robert gets a loan from his bank.
Goryan [66]

Answer:

£10,200

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest = principal × rate × time

Principal = £6000

Rate = 7% = 0.07

Time = 10 years

Simple interest = principal × rate × time

= £6000 × 0.07 × 10

= £4,200

Total = simple interest + principal

= £4,200 + £6,000

= £10,200

He would have to pay back a total of £10,200 in 10 years

the length of a rectangle exceeds its width by 6 inches and the area is 40 square inches. What are the length and width of the r
Lorico [155]

Classic Algebra and its unnecessarily complicated sentence structure. As you may have probably known, Algebra has its own "vocabulary set".


"the length of a rectangle exceeds its width by 6 inches" -> length is 6 in. longer than width -> l= w + 6


Since we're solving for the length and width, let's give them each variables.

length = l = w+6

width = w


The next bit of information is "the area is 40 square inches"

Applying the formula for the area of a rectangle we can set up:

l x w = 40

replace "l", or length, with it's alternate value.

(w+6) x w = 40

distribute

w^{2} + 6w = 40

subtract 40 from both sides

w^{2} + 6w - 40 = 0

factor

(w - 4)(w + 10) = 0

solve for w

w= 4, or -10


So great, we have 2 values; which one do we choose? Since this problem is referring to lengths and inches, we will have to choose the positive value. There is not such thing as a negative distance in the real world.


We now have half of the problem solved: width. Now we just need to find the length which we can do but substituting it back into the original alternate value of l.


l = w + 6

w=4

l = 4 + 6 = 10


The length is 10 in. and the width is 4 in. Hope this helps!
