Answer:

The probability that you will get a sum of 4 before you get a sum of 5 is \frac{1}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : If you roll two fair dice repeatedly.

To find : What is the probability that you will get a sum of 4 before you get a sum of 5 ?

Solution :

When two dice are rolled the outcomes are

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

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

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

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

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

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

Total number of outcomes = 36

Favorable outcome get a sum of 4 before you get a sum of 5 is (1,3) ,(2,2) and (3,1) = 3

The probability that you will get a sum of 4 before you get a sum of 5 is

P=\frac{3}{36}

P=\frac{1}{12}

Therefore, The probability that you will get a sum of 4 before you get a sum of 5 is \frac{1}{12}

A soft-drink machine can be regulated so that it discharges an average of μ oz. per cup. If the ounces of fill are Normally dist
sattari [20]

Answer:

μ = 5.068 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal distribution formula to use the table attached

Z = (x - μ)/σ

where μ is mean, σ is standard deviation, Z is on x-axis and x is a desired point.

98% of 6-oz. cups will not overflow means that the area below the curve is equal to 0.49; note that the curve is symmetrical respect zero, so, 98% of the cases relied between the interval (μ - some value) and (μ + some value)].

From table attached, area = 0.49 when Z = 2.33. From data, σ = 0.4 oz and x = 6 oz (maximum capacity of the cup). Isolating x from the formula gives

Z = (x - μ)/σ

2.33 = (6 - μ)/0.4

μ = 6 - 2.33*0.4

μ = 5.068

This means that with a mean of 5 oz and a standard deviation of 0.4 oz, the machine will discharge a maximum of 6 oz in the 98% of the cases.

wel

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to subtract the one pay fee (the helmet rental fee, $15)

So 51 - 15 = 36

Then we need to divide 36 by the amount of money it costs for each hours to find how many hours he rented the bike

So 39/9 = 4
