An honest die is rolled. If the roll comes out even (2, 4, or 6), you will win $1; if the roll comes out odd (1,3, or 5), you wi

Answer:

(a) 50%

(b) 47.5%

(c) 2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the honest coin principle, if the random variable X denotes the number of heads in n tosses of an honest coin (n ≥ 30), then X has an approximately normal distribution with mean, $\mu=\frac{n}{2}$ and standard deviation, $\sigma=\frac{\sqrt{n}}{2}$ .

Here the number of tosses is, n = 2500.

Since n is too large, i.e. n = 2500 > 30, the random variable X follows a normal distribution.

The mean and standard deviation are:

$\mu=\frac{n}{2}=\frac{2500}{2}=1250\\\\\sigma=\frac{\sqrt{n}}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{2500}}{2}=25$

(a)

To not lose any money the even rolls has to be 1250 or more.

Since, μ = 1250 it implies that the 50th percentile is also 1250.

Thus, the probability that by the end of the evening you will not have lost any money is 50%.

(b)

If the number of "even rolls" is 1250, it implies that the percentile of 1250 is 50th.

Then for number of "even rolls" as 1300,

1300 = 1250 + 2 × 25

= μ + 2σ

Then P (μ + 2σ) for a normally distributed data is 0.975.

⇒ 1300 is at the 97.5th percentile.

Then the area between 1250 and 1300 is:

Area = 97.5% - 50%

= 47.5%

Thus, the probability that the number of "even rolls" will fall between 1250 and 1300 is 47.5%.

(c)

To win $100 or more the number of even rolls has to at least 1300.

From part (b) we now 1300 is the 97.5th percentile.

Then the probability that you will win $100 or more is:

P (Win $100 or more) = 100% - 97.5%

= 2.5%.

Thus, the probability that you will win $100 or more is 2.5%.

A rectangular box has length 20cm, width 6cm and height 4cm. find how many cubes of size 2cm that will fit into the box.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

$\boxed{\pink{\sf The \ number \ of \ cubes \ that \ can \ be \ fitted \ is 60 .}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given dimensions of the box = 20cm × 6cm × 4cm .

Dimension of the cube = 2cm × 2cm × 2cm .

Therefore the number of cubes that can be fitted into the box will be equal to the Volume of box divided by the Volume of the cube. So ,

$\boxed{\red{\bf \implies No. \ of \ cubes \ = \dfrac{Volume \ of \ box}{Volume \ of \ cube }}}$

$\bf \implies n_{cubes} = \dfrac{20cm \times 6cm \times 4cm .}{2cm \times 2cm \times 2cm } \\\\\bf\implies n_{cubes} = 10 \ times 3cm \times 2cm \\\\\implies \boxed{\bf n_{cubes}= 60 }$

<h3>Hence the number of cubes that can be fitted in the box is 60 .</h3>

Find the absolute value. |18|

mezya [45]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value means how far it is from 0 and 18 it 18 numbers from 0! For negative numbers its the same |-18| would be 18 as well because it is 18 numbers from 0.
