You are playing a board game with your little sister. Moves are determined by rolling 2 six-sided dice. The red die tells you th

e direction of your move, and has 4 faces
that say "forward and 2 faces that say backward." The green die tells you how far to move, and has 1. 1. 2.2.3, and 4 on the faces. On your turn, what is the
probability that you move backward 2 spaces

Answer: The probability is 1/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's define the possible outcomes of each dice:

Red: Forward (4 times), Backward (2 times)

Green : {1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4}

We want to find the probability of moving backward 2 spaces.

Then we need to find the probability of rolling a "backward" in the red dice, and a 2 in the green dice.

First, the probability of rolling a backward in the red dice is equal to the quotient between the number of outcomes that are "backward", and the total number of outcomes in the dice (there are 2 backwards and 6 outcomes in total), this is:

p1 = 2/6 = 1/3.

And the probability of rolling a 2 in the green dice is equal to the quotient between the number of outcomes with a 2, and the total number of outcomes. (The 2 appears two times, and there are 6 possible outcomes):

p2 = 2/6 = 1/3.

Now, the probability of both events happening at the same time is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, then the probability of moving backwards 2 spaces is:

P = p1*p2 = (1/3)*(1/3) = 1/9.

Jose has 1000$ in his savings account. it pays out 5% interest what is his balance after 1 year
NARA [144]

The most appropriate choice for simple interest will be given by- Balance of Jose after 1 year is $1050

What is simple interest?

Simple interest is the interest applied on the principal value after charging some certain percentage of rate for some certain amount of time.

If the principal value is p, rate is r % per annum and time is t years

Simple interest is calculated as

SI = p ₓ r ₓ t / 100

Here,

Principal for Jose = $1000

Rate = 5%

Time = 1 year

Simple interest = 1000x5x1/100

                         = $50

Amount = $(1000+50)

             = $1050

Balance of Jose after 1 year is $1050

Question 13 pts
oee [108]

Answer:

1. 68%

2. 50%

3. 15/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to use the empirical rule

1. % waiting between 15 and 25 minutes

From what we have in the question;

15 is 1 SD below the mean

25 is 1 SD above the mean

So practically, we want to calculate the percentage between;

1 SD below and above the mean

According to the empirical rule;

1 SD above the mean we have 34%

1 SD below, we have 34%

So between 1 SD below and above, we have

34 + 34 = 68%

2. Percentage above the mean

Mathematically, the percentage above the mean according to the empirical rule for the normal distribution is 50%

3. Probability that someone waits less than 5 minutes

Less than 5 minutes is 3 SD below the mean

That is 0.15% according to the empirical rule and the probability is 15/100
