Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
The expected value is the probability times the frequency.
3 = 1/6 × n
n = 18
Note: the use of the word "odds" is very misleading here. Odds are the ratio of number of successes to number of failures:
S / F
Probability is the ratio of number of successes to number of all outcomes:
S / (S + F)
So the probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6. The odds of rolling a 5 is 1/5.
Furthermore, the word "must" is also incorrect. The player didn't <em>have</em> to roll 18 times. They could have rolled three times and gotten a 5 each time. Or they could have rolled 100 times. 18 is simply the most <em>likely </em>number of rolls needed to get three 5's.
Answer:
a₁ = - 24
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of an AP is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Given a₇ = 2a₅ , then
a₁ + 6d = 2(a₁ + 4d) = 2a₁ + 8d ( subtract 2a₁ + 8d from both sides )
- a₁ - 2d = 0 → (1)
The sum to n terms of an AP is
= 
[ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]
Given 
= 84 , then
(2a₁ + 6d) = 84
3.5(2a₁ + 6d) = 84 ( divide both sides by 3.5 )
2a₁ + 6d = 24 → (2)
Thus we have 2 equations
- a₁ - 2d = 0 → (1)
2a₁ + 6d = 24 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 3 and adding to (2) will eliminate d
- 3a₁ - 6d = 0 → (3)
Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate d
- a₁ = 24 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
a₁ = - 24
Answer: 0.046
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
orange jelly beans= 7
Cherry jelly beans =9
Lemon jelly beans = 3
Licorice jelly beans = 15
Blueberry jelly beans = 6
Total jelly beans = 40
The probability of choosing the first cherry jelly beans will be = 9/40
After the first one is chosen, there'll be 8 cherry jelly beans and total of 39 left. The probability of choosing the second one will be = 8/39
The probability of choosing two cherry jelly beans in a row will be:
= 9/40 × 8/39
= 72/1560
= 0.046
