A die is loaded so that the number 6 comes up three times as often as any other number. what is the probability of rolling a 1 or a 6?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The probability of rolling a value of 1 or 6 for the unfair die ls 1/2

The probability of an event is given as :

P(event) = Required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Let the probability of other numbers on the die = n

Therefore, Probability of 6 = 3n

The Cummulative probability can be expressed thus since the Cummulative sun must be equal to 1 :

Other values on the die are 5 ; 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5

5n + 3n = 1

8n = 1

n = 1/8

The probability of other numbers = 1/8

Probability of 6 = 3(1/8) = 3/8

Probability of (1 or 6) = P(1) + P(6) = 1/8 + 3/8 = 4/8 = 1/2

Therefore, the probability of obtaining 1 or 6 is 0.5

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability totals must add up to 1.

P = probability.

If P(any number other than 6) = x,  then P(6) = 3x, so

3x + 5x = 1

x = 1/8

P(6) = 3/8 and P(not 6) = 1/8

Therefore P(6 or 1) = 3/8 + 1/8 = 1/2 (answer).

Jerome bought screen for 59 cents per sq ft. how much did 12 sq ft cost

Answers

Answer:

$7.08

Step-by-step explanation:

59 cents = 1 sq ft

? = 12 sq ft

To get from the 1 to the 12 we multiply by 12, so we must do the same to the 59 cents.

0.59 * 12 = 7.08

Therefore, the cost of 12 sq ft is $7.08.

If cot(theta)= 4/3, find csc(theta) (Picture provided)

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

If \cot \theta=(4)/(3), then we can consider right triangle with adjacent leg 4 un. and opposite leg 3 un.. By the Pythagorean theorem,

\text{hypotenuse}^2=\text{adjacent leg}^2+\text{opposite leg}^2,\n \n\text{hypotenuse}^2=4^2+3^2,\n \n\text{hypotenuse}^2=16+9,\n \n\text{hypotenuse}^2=25,\n \n\text{hypotenuse}=5\ un.

So,

\csc \theta=\frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{opposite leg}}=(5)/(3).

Answer:

The correct answer is option d

Step-by-step explanation:

Trigonometric ratio

Cot θ = Adjacent side/Opposite side

It is given that,

Cot θ  = 4/3

Adjacent side = 4

Opposite side = 3

Csc θ = Hypotenuse/Opposite side

To find the Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse² = Opposite side² + Adjacent side ² = 3²+ 4²

Hypotenuse = √(3²+ 4²) = 5

To find Csc θ

Csc θ = Hypotenuse/Opposite side = 5/3

The correct answer is option d

Csc θ = 5/3

Rewrite the equation below so that it does not have fractions

2/3x-5=3/4

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to do this problem is to find the lowest common denominator.

2/3 : 3*2/(3*3)

3/4 : 3*3 / 3*4

Notice what you have done. You have multiplied both denominators by something that gets rid of the denominators, or will when you multiply by 4 * 3 = 12

So multiply the equation by 12

(2/3 x- 5  = 3/4 ) 12

8x - 60 = 9                                 Add 60 to both sides

8x - 60 = 9                                 Combine

8x = 69                                       Divide by 8

x = 69/8

x = 8  5/8

a culture started with 2000 bacteria after 6 hours it grew to 2400 bacteria how many bacteria will grow after 16 hours

Answers

started at 2000....after 6 hrs it grew to 2400...that means in 6 hrs, it grew 400.
6/400 = 16/x ....6 hrs to 400 = 16 hrs to x
this is a proportion, so we cross multiply
(6)(x) = (400)(16)
6x = 6400
x = 6400/6
x = 1066.67 <==

A politician wants to distribute campaign flyers to 8000 homes in his district. The color flyers cost him $0.08 each, and the black and white flyers cost $0.05 each. He has $500 to spend on printing. What is the maximum number of color flyers he can buy (and still deliver flyers to all 8000 homes)?

Answers

Given:
8000 homes
color flyers : $0.08 each
black and white flyers : $0.05 each
budget of $500

c + b = 8,000
0.08c + 0.05b = 500

c = 8,000 - b
0.08(8,000 - b) + 0.05b = 500
640 - 0.08b + 0.05b = 500
-0.03b = 500 - 640
-0.03b = -140
b = -140 / -0.03
b = 4,667 black and white flyers

c = 8,000 - b
c = 8,000 - 4,667
c = 3,333 colored flyers

0.08(c) + 0.05(b) = 500
0.08(3,333) + 0.05(4,667) = 500
266.64 + 233.35 = 500
499.99 = 500
500 = 500



How can I find the area of this figure?​

Answers

Answer:

Area = y² + 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to combine like terms:

The little square is 1 unit, so 1

The two bars are each worth x, so 2 * x = 2x

The big square is y²

The total area is the sum of all terms:

Area = y² + 2x + 1
