An honest die is rolled. If the roll comes out even (2, 4, or 6), you will win $1; if the roll comes out odd (1,3, or 5), you will lose $1, Suppose that in one evening you play this game n=2500 times in a row.
(a) Estimate the probability that by the end of the evening you will not have lost any money.
(b) Estimate the probability that the number of "even rolls" (roll a 2, 4, or 6) will fall between 1250 and 1300.
(c) Estimate the probability that you will win $100 or more.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 50%

(b) 47.5%

(c) 2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the honest coin principle, if the random variable X denotes the number of heads in n tosses of an honest coin (n ≥ 30), then X has an approximately normal distribution with mean, [tex]\mu=\frac{n}{2}[/tex] and standard deviation, [tex]\sigma=\frac{\sqrt{n}}{2}[/tex].

Here the number of tosses is, n = 2500.

Since n is too large, i.e. n = 2500 > 30, the random variable X follows a normal distribution.

The mean and standard deviation are:

[tex]\mu=\frac{n}{2}=\frac{2500}{2}=1250\\\\\sigma=\frac{\sqrt{n}}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{2500}}{2}=25[/tex]

(a)

To not lose any money the even rolls has to be 1250 or more.

Since, μ = 1250 it implies that the 50th percentile is also 1250.

Thus, the probability that by the end of the evening you will not have lost any money is 50%.

(b)

If the number of "even rolls" is 1250, it implies that the percentile of 1250 is 50th.

Then for number of "even rolls" as 1300,

1300 = 1250 + 2 × 25

        = μ + 2σ

Then P (μ + 2σ) for a normally distributed data is 0.975.

⇒ 1300 is at the 97.5th percentile.

Then the area between 1250 and 1300 is:

Area = 97.5% - 50%

        = 47.5%

Thus, the probability that the number of "even rolls" will fall between 1250 and 1300 is 47.5%.

(c)

To win $100 or more the number of even rolls has to at least 1300.

From part (b) we now 1300 is the 97.5th percentile.

Then the probability that you will win $100 or more is:

P (Win $100 or more) = 100% - 97.5%

                                   = 2.5%.

Thus, the probability that you will win $100 or more is 2.5%.

Answer:

  (a) 5.82 cm (correctly shown)

  (b) 10.53 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The length BC can be found from the law of sines:

  BD/sin(C) = BC/sin(D)

  BC = BC·sin(C)/sin(D) = (6 cm)sin(48°)/sin(50°) ≈ 5.82 cm

__

b) The angle ABD is the sum of the angles shown:

  angle ABD = 50° +48° = 98°

We know the lengths BA and BD and the included angle ABD, so we can use the law of cosines to find AD.

  AD² = BA² +BD² -2·BA·BD·cos(98°)

  AD² ≈ 8² +5.82² -2(8)(5.82)(-0.139173) ≈ 110.8411

  AD ≈ √110.8411 ≈ 10.53 . . . . cm

You can often use geometric figures to model objects in the real world. You can transfer your knowledge of the properties of these figures to better understand and describe the objects that they represent. For each shape the table, list three examples of real-world objects that could be modeled by the shape. Use your experiences, the Internet, newspapers, magazines, or other resources to uncover examples.

Answers

Geometric figures are basically figures that have a boundary. The geometric figures and their real life examples are:

Rectangular prism: Building block, Gift box, CabinetTriangular prism: Tomblerone, Triangular roofs, Camping tentsCylinder: Pencil holders, Toilet paper rolls, Drink cansCone: Funnel, Party hat, Traffic conePyramid: Pyramids of Egypt, Pyramid roof, Pyramid tentsSphere: Soccer ball, Golf ball, Planets

To determine the real life object of each geometric figure, we simply identify objects that have similar features as the geometric figure.

For instance, a rectangular prism has 6 rectangular faces; building blocks, some gift box and cabinets also have 6 rectangular faces.

So, these three real life objects can be used as examples of a rectangular prism.

When the above explanation is applied to the other geometric figures, we come up with the following list:

Triangular prism: Tomblerone, Triangular roofs, Camping tentsCylinder: Pencil holders, Toilet paper rolls, Drink cansCone: Funnel, Party hat, Traffic conePyramid: Pyramids of Egypt, Pyramid roof, Pyramid tentsSphere: Soccer ball, Golf ball, Planets

Consider various ways of ordering the letters in the word TENNESSEE. TENENESES, EESSENNET, TNNEESSEE, and so on. (a) How many distinguishable orderings are there

Answers

Answer:

3780.  

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we will start by just considering the number of ways to arrange 9 objects. We can do this in  9!  ways.

However since we have 3 reoccurring letters in Tennessee namely n,s and e we need to remove the times these form the same arrangement. Let me give an example to show what this means. Lets say we have the arrangement:

ennetssee

Now what happens if we exchange the places of the letters n for example? Of course we get the same arrangement of letters. We don’t want to count these as 2 different arrangements since for our interests they are the same. We therefore divide  9!  by the number of times this type of double counting occurs.

Since the word has the letter n occurring twice we will start by diving by  2! .

The letter s occurs 2 times as well so we will have to divide by  2!  again.

Finally the letter e occurs 4 times and so we will have to divide by  4!  here.

Now we get the following result:

9/(2 x 2 x 4)=3780.  

So in conclusion there are 3780 different ways to arrange the letters in Tennessee.

Given the exponential function f(x) = 16(0.75)", classify the function as exponential growth or decay and determine the percent rate of growth or decay.
Exponential growth, 75% increase
O Exponential decay, 75% decrease
O Exponential growth, 25% increase
Exponential decay, 25% decrease​

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if a function is exponential decay or growth, simply look at the rate. If the rate is less than one, it is decay. It it's greater than one, it's growth.

The rate in the given function is 0.75 or 75%. 0.75 is less than one so it's exponential decay.

To determine the percent decrease, simply subtract the rate into 1 or 100%. Thus:

[tex]1-0.75=0.25[/tex]

Therefore, it is a 0.25 or 25% decrease.

The answer is D.

Answer: You will need 8 cup scales

Step-by-step explanation:

In 8 cups it is possible to measure the 2kg or 2000 grams but in three weighs it is not possible to measure the 2kg or 2000 grams.

What is a fraction?

Fraction number consists of two parts, one is the top of the fraction number which is called the numerator and the second is the bottom of the fraction number which is called the denominator.

It is given that:

You have 9kg of oats and cup scales that gears of 50g and 200g.

Total oats need to measure = 9kg

As we know in 1 kg there are 1000 grams.

1 kg = 1000 grams

9kg = 9000 grams

2kg = 2000 grams

Cup scales that gears: 50g and 200g

The number of cups if consider one cup is of 250 grams( = 200 + 50)

Number of cups = 2000/250

Number of cups = 8

In three weighs it is not possible to measure the 2kg or 2000 grams.

Thus, in 8 cups it is possible to measure the 2kg or 2000 grams but in three weighs it is not possible to measure the 2kg or 2000 grams.

A 7ft board is to be cut into three pieces, two equal length ones and the third 6 inches shorter than each of the other two. If the cutting does not result in any length being lost, how long are the pieces?

Answers

Answer:

The two boards of equal length are 30 inches long, and the third board is 24 inches long

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the length of the board to inches. There are 12 inches in a foot, so multiply 7 by 12:

7(12)

= 84

Let x represent the length of the two boards of equal length. The length of the third board can be represented by x - 6, since it is 6 inches shorter than the other two.

Create an equation to represent this and solve for x:

(x) + (x) + (x - 6) = 84

3x - 6 = 84

3x = 90

x = 30

So, the two boards of equal length are 30 inches long.

Subtract 6 from this to find the length of the third board:

30 - 6

= 24

The two boards of equal length are 30 inches long, and the third board is 24 inches long.
