Answer:
x=16
Step-by-step explanation:
Scale factor = new length/old length
scale factor = 10/2.5 = 4
The scale factor is 4.
We need to define our outcomes and events.
Finding the probability<span> of each event occurring
separately, and then multiplying the probabilities is the step to <span>finding
the probability</span> of two
independent events that occur in
sequence.
</span>
<span>
To solve this problem, we take note of this:</span>
The roll of the two dice are denoted by the pair
(I, j) ∈ S={ (1, 1),(1, 2),..., (6,6) }
Each pair is an outcome. There are 36 pairs and each has
probability 1/36. The event “doubles” is { (1, 1),(2, 2)(6, 6) } has
probability p= 6/36 = 1/6. If we define ”doubles” as a successful roll, the
number of rolls N until we observe doubles is a geometric (p) random variable
and has expected value E[N] = 1/p = 6.
The answer is 5 because it is consecutive 3 times and it is an odd number
