1) If a die is rolled once, determine the probability of rolling a 4: Rolling a 4 is an event with 1 favorable outcome (a roll of 4) and the total number of possible outcomes is 6 (a roll of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6). Thus, the probability of rolling a 4 is .
If a die is rolled once, determine the probability of rolling at least a 4: Rolling at least 4 is an event with 3 favorable outcomes (a roll of 4, 5, or 6) and the total number of possible outcomes is again 6. Thus, the probability of rolling at least a 4 is =
.
If a coin is flipped twice, determine the probability that it will land heads both times:
Favorable outcomes: 1 -- HH
Possible outcomes: 4 -- HH, HT, TH, TT
Thus, the probability that the coin will land heads both times is .
If Dan grabs one sock from a drawer containing 3 white socks, 4 blue socks, and 5 yellow socks, what is the probability that he will grab a white sock?
Favorable outcomes: 3 (3 white socks)
Possible outcomes: 12 (3 white socks + 4 blue socks + 5 yellow socks)
Thus, the probability that Dan will grab a white sock is =
.
Answer:
12.123
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the area under the curve f(x) = √(3x+5) on the interval [0, 4] estimated using the left sum and four subintervals.
<h3>Riemann sum</h3>When the interval [0, 4] is divided into four equal parts, each has unit width. That means the area of the rectangle defined by the curve and the interval width will be equal to the value of the curve at the left end of the interval.
The area we want is the sum ...
f(0) +f(1) +f(2) +f(3)
As the attachment shows, that sum is ...
area ≈ 12.123 . . . square units

<em>Additional comment</em>
The table values in the attachment are rounded to 7 decimal places. Trailing zeros are not shown. Actual values used have 12 significant digits, as the total shows.
Such a sum is called a Riemann sum, named for a German mathematician. Four such sums are commonly used, and further refinements are possible. Those are the left sum (as here), the right sum, the midpoint sum, and a sum using a trapezoidal approximation of the rectangle area.
For left, right, and midpoint sums, n function values are required for n subintervals. When the trapezoidal approximation is used, n+1 function values are required.
