The answer is D.
9/12 = 3/4
16/24 = 2/3
2/3 is not equivalent to 3/4
I think the best possibility that could lead Aiden's mistake are the following, First, it must be that the length of the paper strips are not the same. Second, it would be that she miscounted the strips. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more
Answer:
1) It is geometric
a) In each trial you can obtain 11 or obtain something else (and fail)
b) Throw 2 dices and watch if the result is 11 or not
c) The probability of success is 1/18
2) It is not geometric, but binomal.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) This is effectively geometric. When you see the sum of 2 dices, you can separate the result in two different outcomes: when the sum is 11 and when the sum is different from 11.
A trial is constituted bu throwing 2 dices and watching if the sum of the dices is 11 or not.
In order to get 11 you need one 5 in one dice and 1 six in another. As a consecuence, you have 2 favourable outcomes (a 5 in the first dice and a 6 in the second one or the other way around). The total amount of outcomes is 6² = 36, and all of them have equal probability. This means that the probability of success is 2/36 = 1/18.
2) This is not geometric distribution. The geometric distribution meassures how many tries do you need for one success. The amount of success in 10 trias follows a binomial distribution.
The concept that can be used in order to answer this item is that of man-days. The total number of man-days required to do the job should always be constant.
This can be illustrated by the givens above.
Scenario 1:
N1 = (4 employees)(4 days) = 16 man-days
Scenario 2:
N2 = (2 employees)(8 days) = 16 man-days
The equation for determining the value of e is equal to,
k = (d)(e)
The answer is the second choice.
B and C are the correct answers
