Answer:
a) S = {1, 2, 3}
b) P(odd number) =
c) No
d) Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes. By definition, the elements of a set should not be repeated. Hence, the sample space S = {1, 2, 3}
However, the sample is not equiprobable because each element has different probabilities.
b) P(odd number) =
Note that the odd numbers are 1 (on three faces) and 3 (on one face).
c) The fact the die has been biased does not change the possible outcomes. It only changes the probability of getting any given number.
d) Because the 3-face has been loaded, this probability changes. In fact, it is calculated thus:
Let's assume the probability for 1 or 2 is . Then that of 3 is
(because it is twice the others). The sum of probabilities must be 1.
P(odd number) = Prob(1) + Prob(3)
= =
1. It's all about pattern matching, as a lot of math is.
Letter A corresponds to letter J, as both are first in the names of their respective triangles.
Letter B corresponds to letter K, as both are second in the triangle names. Likewise, letter C corresponds to letter L, as both are last.
Realizing this, it should not be too much of a stretch to see
∠B ⇒ ∠K
∠C ⇒ ∠L
AC ⇒ JL
BC ⇒ KL
2. Same deal. Match the patterns. Here, you're counting rings in the angle marks.
1 ⇒ 1, so A ⇒ R
2 ⇒ 2, so B ⇒ Q
since the figures are reportedly similar, you can continue in the same order to finish.
ABCD ~ RQPS
3. The marked triangles cannot be similar. There are a number of ways to figure this. Basically, you want the ratios of sides to be the same for any similar triangles.
Here, you can eliminate the marked ones because the short side is too short relative to the others. (The average of the other two sides is double the short side in the similar triangles.)
