The expected value of a dataset is the mean or average of the dataset.

The cube is expected to land on a 2 or 3 a total of 40 times

The cube is said to be numbered from 1 to 6.

This means that, the probability of getting each number is 1/6.

So, the probability that the outcome is 2 or 3 is:

P(2\ or\ 3) = P(2) + P(3)

This gives

P(2\ or\ 3) = \frac 16 + \frac 16

Add fractions

P(2\ or\ 3) = \frac {1+1}6

P(2\ or\ 3) = \frac 26

Simplify

P(2\ or\ 3) = \frac 13

The number of rolls (n) is 120.

So, the expected value is:

E(x) = np

This gives

E(x) = 120 \times \frac 13

E(x) = 40

Hence, the cube is expected to land on a 2 or 3 a total of 40 times

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Area = 406

Step-by-step explanation:

First things first: Divide the shape

Here is how I did it:

21 x 16

14 x 5

Now solve:

21 x 16 = 336

14 x 5 = 70

Now add:

336 + 70 = 406

So the area is 406

Is it more difficult to run up a ramp with a slope of 1/5 or a ramp with a slope of 5? Explain.
VARVARA [1.3K]
It would be more difficult to run up a slope of 5 because it would be steeper. with a 1/5 slope you would have a rise over run but with a slope of 5 it would just be all rise

A bakery used 25% more butter this month that last month. If the bakery used 240 kilograms of butter last month, how much did it
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

300kg

Step-by-step explanation:

240(25/100)

240(.25) = 60

25% of 240 = 60, so add that 60 to get an extra 25% for this month

240 + 60 = 300
