Answer:

The first piece is 6 inches, the second piece is 24 inches, and the third piece is 30 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the second piece is 4 times longer than the first one, it will be represented by 4x.

The third piece is 5 times as long as the first one, so it will be represented by 5x.

Create an equation adding up the 3 x values up to 60:

x + 4x + 5x = 60

Add like terms and solve for x:

10x = 60

x = 6

So, the first piece is 6 inches.

Then, plug in 6 for x to find the lengths of the second and third pieces.

4x

4(6)

= 24

The second piece is 24 inches

5x

5(6)

= 30

The third piece is 30 inches

So, the first piece is 6 inches, the second piece is 24 inches, and the third piece is 30 inches

Your teacher gives you a number cube with numbers 1-6 on its faces. You are asked to state a theoretical probability model for r
butalik [34]

The missing part of the question is show in bold format.

Your teacher gives you a number cube with numbers 1-6 on its faces. You are asked to state a theoretical probability model for rolling it

once. Your probability model shows a probable outcome of 1/6 for each of the numbers on the cube, 1 chance for all any of the 6 numbers.

You roll it 500 times and get the following data:

Outcome 1 2 3 4 5 6

Frequency 77 92 75 90 76 90

Exercises 1–2

1. If the equality model was correct, about how many of each outcome

would you expect to see if the cube is rolled 500 times

2. Based on the data from the 500 rolls, how often were odd numbers observed? How often were even numbers observed?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

If the equally likely model was correct,  about how many of each outcome

would you expect to see if the cube is rolled 500 times.

The probability of rolling any of the numbers from 1 to 6 is  p(1/6)

The number of each of the outcomes expected to be seen in 500 rolls of the number cube is np

= 500 * \frac{1}{6}  \\ \\ = \frac{500}{6} \\ \\  = 83.333 \\ \\ \approx 83

2.  From the given data in the roll;

The odd numbers 1, 3 and 5, were obtained at  77, 75 and 76 times respectively.

Thus, the total number of times odd number were rolled = 77 + 75 + 76 = 228

Probability of an odd number turning up = \frac{ number \ of  \ required  \ outcome}{ total \  number  \ of  \ possible \ outcome}

= \frac{228}{500}

= 0.456

= 45.6%

The even numbers, 2, 4 and 6, were obtained 92, 90 and 90 times respectively.

The total number of times even number were rolled = 92 + 90 + 90 = 272

Probability of an even number turning up  = \frac{ number \ of  \ required  \ outcome}{ total \  number  \ of  \ possible \ outcome}

= \frac{272}{500}

= 0.544

= 54.4%
