First we should find the percent that this number of miles are currently at:
20n = 11
n = 11/20
n = 0.55
1 - 0.55 = 0.45
A 45% decrease
This is a rather famous probability problem.
The easiest way to solve this is to calculate the probability that you WON'T roll a "double 6" (or a twelve) each time you roll the dice. There are 36 ways in which dice rols can appear and only one is a twelve. So, for one roll, the probability that you will NOT get a twelve is (35/36)^n where 35/36 is about .97222222 and n would equal 1 for the first trial. So for your first roll the odds that you WON'T get a 12 is .97222222.
For the second roll we calculate (35/36) to the second power or (35/36)^2 which equals about .945216.
When we get to the 24th roll we calculate (.97222222)^24 which equals 0.508596.
For the 25th roll, we calculate (.97222222)^25 which equals 0.494468. For the first time we have reached a probability which is lower than 50 per cent. That is to say, after 25 rolls, we have reached a point in which the probability is less than 50 per cent that we will NOT roll a twelve.
To phrase this more clearly, after 25 rolls we reach a point where the probability is greater then 50 per cent that you will roll a 12 at least once.
Please go to this page 1728.com/puzzle3.htm and look at puzzle 48. (The last puzzle on the page). An intersting story associated with this probability problem is that in 1952, a gambler named Fat the Butch bet someone $1,000 that he could roll a 12 after 21 throws. (He miscalculated the odds [as we know you need 25 throws] and after several HOURS, he lost $49,000!!!)
Please go that page and it has a link to the Fat the Butch story.
Answer:
i believe the answer is y =5
(13)^2 = (12)^2 +( y)^2
169= 144 + y^2
169-144= y^2
25= y^2
5 = y
Answer:
slope = 2
y-int = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2
x − 3 is the slope-intercept form equation
Answer:
850 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 3 different pairs of rectangles—the side rectangles, the rectangles on the top and bottom, and the other side rectangles.
10x11=110
110x2=220
15x10=150
150x2=300
15x11=165
165x2=330
330+300+220=850 m².
