A random experiment was conducted where a Person A tossed five coins and recorded the number of ""heads"". Person B rolled two d

ice and recorded the larger number out of the two dice. Simulate this scenario (use 10000 long columns) and answer questions 10 to 13.

Answer:

(10) Person B

(11) Person B

(12) P(5\ or\ 6) = 60\%

(13) Person B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Person A \to 5 coins (records the outcome of Heads)

Person \to Rolls 2 dice (recorded the larger number)

Person A

First, we list out the sample space of roll of 5 coins (It is too long, so I added it as an attachment)

Next, we list out all number of heads in each roll (sorted)

Head = \{5,4,4,4,4,4,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,1,1,0\}

n(Head) = 32

Person B

First, we list out the sample space of toss of 2 coins (It is too long, so I added it as an attachment)

Next, we list out the highest in each toss (sorted)

Dice = \{2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6\}

n(Dice) = 30

Question 10: Who is likely to get number 5

From person A list of outcomes, the proportion of 5 is:

Pr(5) = \frac{n(5)}{n(Head)}

Pr(5) = \frac{1}{32}

Pr(5) = 0.03125

From person B list of outcomes, the proportion of 5 is:

Pr(5) = \frac{n(5)}{n(Dice)}

Pr(5) = \frac{8}{30}

Pr(5) = 0.267

<em>From the above calculations: </em>0.267 > 0.03125<em> Hence, person B is more likely to get 5</em>

Question 11: Person with Higher median

For person A

Median = \frac{n(Head) + 1}{2}th

Median = \frac{32 + 1}{2}th

Median = \frac{33}{2}th

Median = 16.5th

This means that the median is the mean of the 16th and the 17th item

So,

Median = \frac{3+2}{2}

Median = \frac{5}{2}

Median = 2.5

For person B

Median = \frac{n(Dice) + 1}{2}th

Median = \frac{30 + 1}{2}th

Median = \frac{31}{2}th

Median = 15.5th

This means that the median is the mean of the 15th and the 16th item. So,

Median = \frac{5+5}{2}

Median = \frac{10}{2}

Median = 5

<em>Person B has a greater median of 5</em>

Question 12: Probability that B gets 5 or 6

This is calculated as:

P(5\ or\ 6) = \frac{n(5\ or\ 6)}{n(Dice)}

From the sample space of person B, we have:

n(5\ or\ 6) =n(5) + n(6)

n(5\ or\ 6) =8+10

n(5\ or\ 6) = 18

So, we have:

P(5\ or\ 6) = \frac{n(5\ or\ 6)}{n(Dice)}

P(5\ or\ 6) = \frac{18}{30}

P(5\ or\ 6) = 0.60

P(5\ or\ 6) = 60\%

Question 13: Person with higher probability of 3 or more

Person A

n(3\ or\ more) = 16

So:

P(3\ or\ more) = \frac{n(3\ or\ more)}{n(Head)}

P(3\ or\ more) = \frac{16}{32}

P(3\ or\ more) = 0.50

P(3\ or\ more) = 50\%

Person B

n(3\ or\ more) = 28

So:

P(3\ or\ more) = \frac{n(3\ or\ more)}{n(Dice)}

P(3\ or\ more) = \frac{28}{30}

P(3\ or\ more) = 0.933

P(3\ or\ more) = 93.3\%

By comparison:

93.3\% > 50\%

Hence, person B has a higher probability of 3 or more

Use the table of values to write the exponential function
djyliett [7]

Answer:

\frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{4}^x)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the function, compare the y values. Notice that each y value decreases by being divided by 4. This means the base of the exponential is 1/4.

To find the initial value, consider the point (0,0.5). When 1/4 is raised to the 0 power, the value is 1. This leaves that the initial value is 1/2 since 1/2*1 = 0.5.

The function is \frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{4}^x).

11 5/8 in = 11.625 in


9 3/4in = 9.75 in


10 1/2 in= 10.5 in


11.625+9.75+10.5= 31.875in


To find the average divide the total of inches by the amount of pieces there are to find the average:


31.875 / 3 = 10.625in
