Answer:

0.003

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A roulette wheel consists of 38 numbers 1 to 36, 0, and double 0.

Smith bets that the outcome will be one of the numbers 1 through 12.

To find: probability that Smith will lose his first 5 bets

Solution:

Probability refers to chances of occurrence of some event.

Probability = Number of favourable outcomes/Total number of outcomes

Total number outcomes = 38

As Smith bets that the outcome will be one of the numbers 1 through 12, number of favourable outcomes is equal to 12.

So,

probability that Smith will loss his first bet = \frac{12}{38}=\frac{6}{19}

Therefore,

Probability that Smith will lose his first 5 bets = (\frac{6}{19} )^5=0.003

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

143 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 pairs of sides to this shape,

1 pair is the top and bottom pieces, each has an area of 4(3) = 12 cm², so there are 24 cm² from this pair.

the second pair is the front and back pieces, each has an area of

4(8.5) = 34 cm², so there are 68 cm² from this pair.

the third pair are the side pieces, each has an area of

3(8.5) = 25.5 cm², so there are 51 cm² from this pair.

Al together there are 24 + 68 + 51 = 143 cm²
