Answer:

1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

+ Dice2

Dice1 1 2 3 4 5 6

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

2 3 4 5 6 7 8

3 4 5 6 7 8 9

4 5 6 7 8 9 10

5 6 7 8 9 10 11

6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Probability = number of desired outcome / total number of outcome

= 4 / 36

= 1/9

The probability of rolling a 9 the first time is therefore = 1/4

The probability of rolling a 9 twice in a row is just the product of the probability for two independent rolls each producing a 9.

That is, 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16 = 0.0625.

Carol had 9/12 of a container of milk for the french toast she was cooking. She poured 2/3 of the container into the pan. How mu

Effectus [21]

Answer:

1/12 of the container of milk will be left in the container

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, we first note the variables

Volume of milk available = 9/12 of a container

Volume of milk poured in a pan = 2/3 of a container

Quantity of milk left = Initial quantity of milk less the quantity poured out

That is 9/12-2/3 = 1/12 of the container of milk

This means that there will be only 1/12 of the container of milk left

You want to draw a red then a blue marble. do you have a better chance of drawing a red then blue marble with or without replaci

elena-s [515]

Answer: Without replacing

Step-by-step explanation:

If you don't replace the first red marble, it decreases the number of red marbles in the mix, making the proportion of blue marbles relatively larger. For example, if there were 5 red and 5 blue marbles, there would be a 50% chance of drawing a blue marble. If the red drawn is not replaced, there is a 5/9 chance of drawing a blue marble, or a 55% chance of drawing one.

An option to buy a stock is priced at $150. If the stock closes above 30 next Thursday, the option will be worth $1000. If it cl

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An option to buy a stock is priced at $150. If the stock closes above 30 next Thursday, the option will be worth $1000. If it closes below 20, the option will be worth nothing, and if it closes between 20 and 30, the option will be worth $200. A trader thinks there is a 50% chance that the stock will close in the 20-30 range, a 20% chance that it will close above 30, and a 30% chance that it will fall below 20.

a) Let X represent the price of the option

$1000 20/100 = 0.2

$200 50/100 = 0.5

$0 30/100 = 0.3

b) Expected option price

$= \sum x.P(X=x)\\\\ = 1000 * 0.2 + 200 * 0.5 + 0 = \$ 300$

Therefore expected gain = $300 - $150 = $150

c) The trader should buy the stock. Since there is an positive expected gain($150) in trading that stock option.
