Answer the correct option is D

Step-by-step explanation:

The die has six sides. The numbers on each side are 1, 2, 3. 4, 5 and 6. This means that the total number of possible outcomes is 6

The numbers greater than 2 are 3, 4, 5 and 6. It means that there are four numbers out of 6 that are greater than 2. So the probability of rolling a number greater than 2 is 4/6 = 2/3.

Again, the numbers lesser than 5 are 1,2,3 and 4 . there are 4 numbers. So the probability of rolling a number lesser than 5 is 4/6 = 2/3

But both probabilities are mutually non exclusive. It means that 3 and 4 is common. The probability of rolling a 3 and a 4 = 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3.

Therefore, the probability of rolling a number greater than 2 or less than 5 would be 2/3 + 2/3 - 1/3 = 3/3 = 1

There are 10 balls in an urn, numbered from 1 to 10. If 5 balls are selected at random and their numbers are added, what is the

Kisachek [45]

Let $B_i$ denote the value on the $i$ -th drawn ball. We want to find the expectation of $S=B_1+B_2+B_3+B_4+B_5$ , which by linearity of expectation is

$E[S]=E\left[\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^5B_i\right]=\sum_{i=1}^5E[B_i]$

(which is true regardless of whether the $X_i$ are independent!)

At any point, the value on any drawn ball is uniformly distributed between the integers from 1 to 10, so that each value has a 1/10 probability of getting drawn, i.e.

$P(X_i=x)=\begin{cases}\frac1{10}&\text{for }x\in\{1,2,\ldots,10\}\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

and so

$E[X_i]=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{10}x\,P(X_i=x)=\frac1{10}\frac{10(10+1)}2=5.5$

Then the expected value of the total is

$E[S]=5(5.5)=\boxed{27.5}$

Find the area of the rhombus.

Inessa [10]

A=24

Find the area by multiplying both diagonals and dividing them by 2. Like so: And you might be wondering how to do that. By using the pythagorean theorem and some simple addition, you could get the answer. One diagonal is 8 and the other is 6....so, 8x6=48....48/2=24

Solve the system of equations and choose the correct ordered pair. 3x + 4y = 38 5x - 5y = -30

faust18 [17]

3x + 4y = 38 ( equation 1) ----> ×5 5x - 5y = -30 ( equation 2) ----> ×3 When you multiply eqn 1 by 5 you get, 15x + 20y = 190 And when you multiply eqn 2 by 3, you get, 15x - 15y = -90 Then you solve both equations by subtracting eqn 2 from eqn 1 15x + 20y = 190 15x - 15y = 90 Then 15x - 15x gets cancelled and 20y - (-15y) gives 35y and 190 - (-90) gives 280. So that gives 35y = 280 y = 8 And when you replace y = 8 in any of the two equations, x = 2
