Answer:
The gambler's fallacy, also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy or the fallacy of the maturity of chances, is the erroneous belief that if a particular event occurs more frequently than normal during the past it is less likely to happen in the future (or vice versa), when it has otherwise been established that the probability of such events does not depend on what has happened in the past. Such events, having the quality of historical independence, are referred to as statistically independent. The fallacy is commonly associated with gambling, where it may be believed, for example, that the next dice roll is more than usually likely to be six because there have recently been fewer than the usual number of sixes.
The term "Monte Carlo fallacy" originates from the best known example of the phenomenon, which occurred in the Monte Carlo Casino in 1913.[1]
Answer:
k = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the points are collinear then the slopes between consecutive points are equal.
Using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 1)
m = 
= 
= 
Repeat with another 2 points and equate to
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (k, 4)
m = 
, then
= ( cross- multiply )
k - 1 = 10 ( add 1 to both sides )
k = 11
Answer:
4 feet of wall should be on each side of the painting.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a 4 foot wide painting should be centered on a 12 foot wide wall, to determine how many feet (X) should be on each side of the painting, the following equation must be solved:
(Total wide of the wall - wide of the painting) / 2 = X
(12 - 4) / 2 = X
8/2 = X
4 = X
Therefore, 4 feet of wall should be on each side of the painting.
19 - 2 = 17 17 - 4 = 13 number = 13
