Answer: 2/3
Cathy rolls a number cube that is labeled from 1 to 6.
Total outcomes = {1,2,3,4,5,6}
she rolls an even number or a multiple of 3
Outcomes of an even number = {2,4,6}
Outcomes of multiple of 3 = {3,6}
so favorable outcomes of even number or a multiple of 3 = {2,3,4,6}
Probability ( any event) =number of favorable outcomes divide by total number of outcomes
probability(even number or a multiple of 3) =
We want to find the mean of two elements in a set, given that we know the other elements of the set and the mean of the whole set.
The answer is: -490
-----------------------------
For a set with N elements {x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ} the mean is given by:
Here we know that:
We want to find the mean of the values of A and B.
First, we can start by writing the equation for the mean:
We can rewrite this as:
And we have 998 ones, then:
Now we have B isolated.
With this, the mean of A and B can be written as:
So we can conclude that the mean of the other two numbers is -490.
