Answer:

  • The smaller number  ⇒ y = 36
  • The larger number ⇒ x = y + 12 = 36 + 12 = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let the larger number be = x
  • Let the smaller number be = y

As the larger number is twelve more  than a smaller, so

x = y + 12

As the sum of larger and smaller numbers is 84, so

x + y = 84

now substituting x = y + 12 in th equation x + y = 84

x + y = 84

(y + 12) + y = 84

2y + 12 = 84

subtract 12 from both sides

2y + 12 - 12 = 84 - 12

2y = 72

divide both sides by 2

2y/2 = 72/2

y = 36

Thus,

  • The smaller number  ⇒ y = 36
  • The larger number ⇒ x = y + 12 = 36 + 12 = 48

You roll a pair of fair dice until you roll “doubles” (i.e., both dice are the same). what is the expected number, e[n], of roll
bonufazy [111]

We need to define our outcomes and events.

 

Finding the probability<span> of each event occurring separately, and then multiplying the probabilities is the step to <span>finding  the probability</span> of two independent events that occur in sequence.

</span>

<span>
To solve this problem, we take note of this:</span>

 

The roll of the two dice are denoted by the pair

(I, j) ∈ S={ (1, 1),(1, 2),..., (6,6) }

Each pair is an outcome. There are 36 pairs and each has probability 1/36. The event “doubles” is { (1, 1),(2, 2)(6, 6) } has probability p= 6/36 = 1/6. If we define ”doubles” as a successful roll, the number of rolls N until we observe doubles is a geometric (p) random variable and has expected value E[N] = 1/p = 6.
