Suppose you and a friend each choose at random an integer between 1 and 8, inclusive. For example, some possibilities are (3,7),

(7,3), (4,4), (8,1), where your number is written first and your friend’s number second. Find the following probabilities.
a. p(you pick 5 and your friend picks 8)
b. p(sum of the two numbers picked is < 4)
c. p(both numbers match)

Answer and explanation:

Given : Suppose you and a friend each choose at random an integer between 1 and 8, inclusive.

The sample space is

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)  (1,7) (1,8)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)   (2,7) (2,8)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)   (3,7) (3,8)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)   (4,7) (4,8)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)   (5,7) (5,8)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)   (6,7) (6,8)

(7,1) (7,2) (7,3) (7,4) (7,5) (7,6)   (7,7) (7,8)

(8,1) (8,2) (8,3) (8,4) (8,5) (8,6)   (8,7) (8,8)

Total number of outcome = 64

To find : The following probabilities ?

Solution :

The probability is given by,

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable outcome }}{\text{Total outcome}}

a) p(you pick 5 and your friend picks 8)

The favorable outcome is (5,8)= 1

\text{Probability}=\frac{1}{64}

b) p(sum of the two numbers picked is < 4)

The favorable outcome is (1,1), (1,2), (2,1)= 3

\text{Probability}=\frac{3}{64}

c) p(both numbers match)

The favorable outcome is (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6), (7,7), (8,8) = 8

\text{Probability}=\frac{8}{64}

\text{Probability}=\frac{1}{8}

Circle theorem <br> This is a very easy question but i just can't seem to be able to answer it
xxMikexx [17]

The measure of <FCD is 77 degrees

<h3>Circle geometry</h3>

From the given diagram, we have the following:

m<FCD + 90 + m<F = 180 degrees

Given the following parameters

m<BEO = 13 degrees = m<F

Substitute into the formula:

m<FCD + 90 +13 = 180 degrees

m<FCD = 180 - 103

m<FCD = 77 degrees

Hence the measure of <FCD is 77 degrees

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s). Employee Number
irakobra [83]

Answer:

years worked: 14

at least 10 years: 73%

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is found by adding the years of service and dividing by the number of employees. The total years of service is 417, so the average is ...

average years worked = 417/30 = 13.9 ≈ 14 . . . years

__

The percentage of employees that have worked there at least 10 years is found by counting the number with 10 or more years of service and dividing that count by the total number of employees. The result is then expressed as a percentage.

(10 years or over)/(total number) = 22/30 = 0.73_3 (a repeating decimal) ≈ 73%

_____

Comment on the working

A spreadsheet can be helpful for this. It has a function that can calculate the mean for you. Sorting the years of service into order can make it trivially easy to count the number that are 10 or more, or you can write a function that will do the count for you. (Also, less than 10 means the years are a single digit. There are 8 single-digit numbers in your list.) The hard part is copying 30 numbers without error.
