In a particular game, a fair die is tossed. If the number of spots showing is either four or five, you win $1. If the number of

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The probability that you win at least $1 both times is 0.25 = 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either you win at least $1, or you do not. Games are independent. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Probability of winning at least $1 on a single game:

The die has 6 sides.

If it lands on 4, 5 or 6(either of the three sides), you win at least $1. So

$p = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

You are going to play the game twice.

This means that $n = 2$

The probability that you win at least $1 both times is

This is P(X = 2).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.25$

The probability that you win at least $1 both times is 0.25 = 25%.

The sum of 5 consecutive odd numbers is 145. What is the third number in this sequence

vredina [299]

Answer: The 3rd number in the sequence is 29.

Step-by-step explanation: What we have is a sequence of “ODD” numbers and they are consecutive, which means they come one after another with regular intervals. We don’t have any of the numbers but we can start by saying ‘let x represent the first number in the sequence’

With this in mind, we can now assume all other four numbers in the sequence. Therefore if the 1st number is x, the 2nd number would be x + 2, and the the 3rd number would be x + 4, 4th number would be x + 6 while the 5th number would be x + 8.

The reason is that, every odd number is an addition of two to the previous odd number. For instance, if you start with 3, the next odd number would be 3+2 (5), and so on.

Therefore we can now write our consecutive odd numbers as follows;

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8)

Remember that all the numbers add up to 145. Therefore,

x + x + 2 + x +4 + x + 6 + x + 8 = 145

5x + 20 = 145

Subtract 20 from both sides of the equation

5x = 125

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

x = 25.

The first odd number is 25, which means the 3rd odd number is 25 + 4.

Therefore the 3rd odd number is 29.

You buy milk in 1 gallon containers. One portion of waffles requires 0.4 ounces of milk. How many portions can be made with one

xenn [34]

320 portions of waffles can be made with one container.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Milk is bought in 1 gallon container.

One portion of waffles require = 0.4 ounces of milk

We know that;

1 gallon = 128 ounces

Now;

No. of portions of waffles = $\frac{Total\ ounces\ of\ milk}{Milk\ used\ per\ waffle}$

No. of portions of waffles = $\frac{128}{0.4}$

No. of portions of waffles = 320

320 portions of waffles can be made with one container.
