Answer:

I) 0.386 = 38.6% probability that exactly one six occurs.

II) 0.518 = 51.8% probability that at least one six occurs.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each throw, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a six, or it is not. The probability of a six being rolled is independent of other throws, which 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.

Thrown four times

This means that n = 4

Probability of rolling a six:

Six sides, one of which is 6. So

p = \frac{1}{6} = 0.1667

i) exactly one six occurs

This is P(X = 1). So

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

P(X = 1) = C_{4,1}.(0.1667)^{1}.(0.8333)^{3} = 0.386

0.386 = 38.6% probability that exactly one six occurs.

ii) at least one six occurs​

This is:

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

So

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

P(X = 0) = C_{4,0}.(0.1667)^{0}.(0.8333)^{4} = 0.482

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.482 = 0.518

0.518 = 51.8% probability that at least one six occurs.

A rectangle whose perimeter is 110 feet. The length is 4 times as long as the width. Find the length and the width.
madreJ [45]
Set up a system of equations.
l=4w
2l+2w=110

Substitute l in to the second equation.
2(4w)+2w=110
8w+2w=110
10w=110
w=11

Substitute w back into the first equation.
l=4(11)=44

So, the length is 44 feet and the width is 11 feet.

Hope this helped!

A square garden has a side of length that is 3 meters shorter than the length of a rectangle garden. Find the perimeter of the r
Ray Of Light [21]
If the square perimeter is 8y, then the square side would be:
square perimeter= 4*side
8y= 4*side
side=2y

The square garden side is 3m shorter than the length of the rectangle garden. The rectangle garden length will be:
rectangle length= square sides +3
rectangle length= 2y+3

rectangle perimeter= 2(rectangle length + rectangle side)
rectangle perimeter= 2(2y+3 + 2y+1)
rectangle perimeter= 2(4y+4)
rectangle perimeter= 8y + 8
