If four dice are rolled, what is the probability of obtaining two identical odd numbers and two identical even numbers?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1/24 = 0.041666666...

Step-by-step explanation:

when rolling 4 dice, we have

6 × 6 × 6 × 6 = 6⁴ = 1296

different possible outcomes (each die has 6 possible outcomes).

so, the probability of any particular pattern is then

1/1296.

we need to find how many patterns there are to represent the desired result of 2 identical odd numbers combined with 2 identical even numbers.

there are on every die 3 out of 6 options for an odd number, and the other 3 out of 6 options for an even number.

when we roll 2 dice, the patterns for 2 identical odd numbers are

1 1

3 3

5 5

so, 3 out of the possible 36.

similar for 2 identical even numbers.

2 2

4 4

6 6

3 out of the possible 36.

so, combining this together for a roll of 4 dice, we get then

3 × 3 out of the possible 36 × 36

9 out of the possible 1296 patterns.

that means the probability (desired over total possible cases) for a specific combination of 2-and-2 dice is

9/1296 = 1/144 = 0.006944444...

but there are 4! / (2! × 2!) = 6 possibilities (pick 2 out of 4, where the sequence of the picked ones does not matter) to pick 2 dice out of 4 and to show the same pattern across the 4 dice, as e.g. for the basic pattern 1 1 2 2 we can have

1 1 2 2

1 2 1 2

1 2 2 1

2 1 2 1

2 1 1 2

2 2 1 1

all of the 9 patterns have these 6 combination possibilities.

so, we need to multiply the individual pattern probability by 6 for the total probability

1/144 × 6 = 6/144 = 1/24 = 0.041666666...

What are the coordinates of the point on the
directed line segment from (4, 3) to (9, 8) that
partitions the segment into a ratio of 2 to 3?

Answers

The required coordinates are (6, 5).

Let A denotes the point (4, 3), and B denotes the point (9, 8).

Let C denote the point which divides the line segment AB in the ratio of 2:3.

The distance between A(4, 3) and B(9, 8) is given by

AB = √{(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ -y₁)²}

= √{(9 - 4)² + (8 - 3)²

= √{5² + 5²}

= √(2×5²)

= 5√2

We have AC + BC = AB

AC and BC are in the ratio 2:3.

Therefore 2x + 3x = AB

⇒5x = 5√2

⇒x = √2.

Therefore, AC = 2√2 and BC = 3√2.

Using the distance formula,

AC = √{(x - 4)² + (y - 3)²}

⇒ 2√2 = √{(x - 4)² + (y - 3)²}

⇒ √(2² + 2²) = √{(x - 4)² + (y - 3)²} (taking the 2 inside the square root.)

⇒ x - 4 = 2 ⇒ x = 6

⇒ y - 3 = 2 ⇒  y = 5.

Therefore the required coordinates are (6, 5).

the equation using the slope-intercept form. Write the equation using slope intercept form​

Answers

Answer: Equation using slope intercept from y= -(5/2)x +26

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation of the line (in slope-intercept form) that is perpendicular to the line y=(2/5)x-(1/5) and contains the point (-4,16).

The line given is y=(2/5)x-(1/5)

Which we can rewrite in y= mx+b form as

y=(2/5)x-(1/5)

So slope of this line is (2/5)

A line perpendicular will have slope = -(5/2) ,  Which is (1/m)

Equation of new line will be

y = -(5/2)x +b

Now we need to find b

Plug in Point (-4,16)

Replace with the (-4,16) values

16 = (5/2) (-4) +b

solve it, 16=(-10)+b

16+10=b

b=26

Camille wants to crochet a blanket for her new baby cousin. her pattern calls for 900 yards of thick, soft wool. she already has 200 feet of wool left from another project. at the craft store, she notices that each ball has 500 feet of wool.

Here we need to find the number of wool balls she need.

Let us consider x be the amount of wool balls she need.

Then,

wool needed - 900 yards

We know that,

1 yard = 3 feet

Then 900 yards will be equal to

=>  900 x 3 = 2700 feet

Now, She has - 200 feet

And we know that,

each ball at store contains - 500 feet

So it can be written as,

=> 200 + 500x = 2700

=> 500x = 2500

=> x = 2500/500

=> x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

First, let's isolate the Absolute Value bracket.

4 = a + |x - 4|4 - a = |x - 4|

Based on the definition of Absolute value, the outcome should always be a positive number. Therefore, if the product, 4 - a, is a negative number, it will have no solutions.

That means a has to be greater than 4 for it to be negative. a should be 6.

Joann works in a publicity office at the state university. she is paid $ 13.00 an hour for the first 35 hours she works each week and $ 19.50 an hour for every hour after that. if she makes $ 572.00 one week, how many hours did she work?

Answers

Joann worked for  64 hours in week.

Let the number of hours she work be x. The payment for first 35 hours will be added with the multiple of number of extra hours and payment for the same.

Forming the equation according above mentioned statement :

13 + 19.5x = 572

Solving the equation to find the number of hours worked by Joann

Shifting 13 to Right Hand Side of the equation

19.5x = 572 - 13

Performing subtraction on Right Hand Side of the equation

19.5x =  559

Shifting 19.5 to Right Hand Side of the equation at denominator

x = 559 ÷ 19.5

x = 28.67 hours

Rounding off the number of hours, we get the value = 29

So, Joann worked for 29 extra hours. To find the total number of hours she worked, we will simply add her working hours.

Total number of hours Joann worked = 35 hours + extra hours

Total number of hours Joann worked = 35 + 29

Total number of hours Joann worked = 64 hours

Hence, Joann worked for 64 hours in week.

A 10-lb bag of flour costs $3.69. A 5-lb bag costs $1.55. How much can you save if you buy the big bag instead of 2 small bags?​

Answers

You will $0.29, if you will purchase 2 small bags of flour instead of 1 big bag.

What exactly is the unitary method?The unitary method is an approach that calculates the value of a specific unit utilizing the values of multiple units, in addition to determining the value of multiple units based on the value of a single unit.To figure out the value of one item, we must first divide it, and then multiply it by the number of things we want to find the value of.

For the given question;

The total cost of one big bag that is 10-lb bag of flour = $3.69.

Now, the cost of one small bag that is 5-lb = $1.55.

Thus, the cost for two small bag that is 5-lb = $3.10.

The difference in the cost = big bag cost - 2 small bag costs.

The difference in the cost = $3.69 - $3.10

The difference in the cost = $0.29.

Thus, you will save $0.29 for the purchase of 2 small bags of floor instead of one big bag.

Using a 1% level of significance, test the gaming company's hypothesis.

A. Reject the null hypothesis. There is enough evidence to oppose the gaming company's claim.
B. Reject the null hypothesis. There is not enough evidence to oppose the gaming company's claim.
C. Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is not enough evidence to oppose the gaming company's claim.
D. Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is enough evidence to oppose the gaming company's claim.

Answers

Answer:

D. Fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is enough evidence to oppose the gaming company's claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let μ = mean time to complete a role-playing game.

The company claims that their role-playing games take over 65 hours to complete, so the hypotheses are:

H₀: μ = 65       H₁: μ > 65

Therefore, this is a one-tailed test.

The significance level is 1%, so α = 0.01.

Find the value of the test statistic (z):

[tex]\textsf{sample mean }\overline{x}=63,\quad \sigma=10, \quad n=300[/tex]

[tex]\implies z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\sigma / \sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{63-65}{10 / \sqrt{300}}=-2\sqrt{3}=-3.4641...[/tex]

Using the “Percentage Points of The Normal Distribution” table, the critical value is z = 2.3263 meaning the critical region is Z > 2.3263.

Since z = -3.4641... < 2.3263, the observed value of the test statistic lies outside the critical region.  Therefore, the result is not significant.

Conclusion

There is sufficient evidence at the 1% level of significance to fail to reject H₀ and to oppose the alternative hypothesis that the mean time to complete the role-playing game is more than 65 hours.

Answer:

A) Reject the null hypothesis. There is enough evidence to oppose the gaming company's claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

The test statistic needs to fall within the rejection regions that are above and below the critical z-score associated with a 1% level of significance in order to reject the null hypothesis. Otherwise, we will fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Answers

The number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same will be 10 miles.

How to calculate the value?

Let the number of miles be represented by x.

Therefore the equation for the first company will be 90 + 0.4m

The equation for the second company will be 60 + 0.7m

Therefore, we will equate them. This will be:

90 + 0.4m = 60 + 0.7m

Collect like terms

90 - 60 = 0.7m - 0.4m

0.3m = 30

m = 30/0.3

The translated function is:

f(x) = 3|x + 1| - 6.

The multiplication by 3 means that the function was stretched vertically by a factor of 3, hence:

The 3 will make the parent function vertically stretch by a factor of 3.

At x -> x + 1, we have that the function was shifted one unit left, hence:

The x + 1 will make the parent function shift horizontally left 1 unit.

For the subtraction by 6, the function was shifted down 6 units, hence:

The -6 will make the parent function shift vertically down 1 unit.

determine the position of each hidden term. -14 is the _th term of 2 1/5, 2 , 1 4/5

Answers

-14 is the 81th term.

What is the position of -14?

The first step is to determine the relationship between the numbers in the sequence. When examined, it can be seen that the number decline by 1/5.

To confirm : 2 1/5 - 2 = 1/5

The linear equation that can be used to determine the position of a number is:

2 1/5 - 1/5(x)

Where x is the position of the number

For example, the third number is

2 1/5 - 1/5(3)  = 1 4/5

Given the number, the position of the number can be determined using the above linear equation:

-14 = 2 1/5 - 1/5(x)

In order to determine the value of x, take the following steps:

Multiply through by 5

(-14 x 5) = (11/5 x 5) - (x / 5 x 5)

-70 = 11 -x

Combine similar terms: 70 + 11 = x

Add similar terms: x = 81
