16. A dice game at a local carnival uses a 10-sided die which has been rigged. The even numbered outcomes (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10) h

ave been made lighter so that they are three times more likely to occur as the odd numbered outcomes (1, 3, 5, 7, and 9). A player that rolls an odd number wins the game. What is the probability of winning this game?

Answer:

1/4 or 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = probability of each of the odd numbered outcomes. Then the even numbered outcomes each have probability 3x. The sum of the probabilities is 1, so 5(3x) + 5(x) = 1, therefore 20x = 1 and x = 0.05. The probability of rolling an odd outcome (1, 3, 5, 7, or 9) each which have probability 0.05 is 5(0.05) = 0.25.

In a normally distributed data set a mean of 55 where 95% of the data fall between 47.4 and 62.6, what would be the standard dev
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The standard deviation of that data set is 3.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 55

95% of the data fall between 47.4 and 62.6. This means that 47.4 is 2 standard deviations below the mean and 62.6 is two standard deviations above the mean.

Using one of these points.

55 + 2sd = 62.6

2sd = 7.6

sd = 7.6/2

sd = 3.8

The standard deviation of that data set is 3.8

A clock is showing the time as exactly 3:00 p.m. and 25 s. Because a full minute has not passed since 3:00, the hour hand is poi
Grace [21]
I had to read this a couple of times to see this was not about time, but is a right triangle problem. If the hour hand is at three, let us consider that a leg of a right triangle, we will consider the hypotenuse as the second hand.
Sketch the picture. 

The hypotenuse is 9 cm. the angle is found by: 

the (hour hand) is pointing directly at the 12. I expect you mean the minute hand. The angle between the minute hand and the second hand is 25/60*360 = 150 which make the angle between the hour hand and the second hand. 150 -90 =60 

so the second hand and the hour hand gives us a right triangle, with a 60 degree angle and a hyp. of 9 cm. 

cos 60 = x/9 

9 cos 60 =x 
<span>
x = 4.5 cm

Find the length of the third side of the right triangle.
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: you can use Pythagorean theorem , which formula is a^{2} + b^{2} =c^{2}, "a" and "b" are the sides, and "c" is the hypotenuse (the longest side, the side opposite to the 90 degree angle)

<em>Example:</em>

If they give that one side is 2 inches and the other side is 4 and you need to find the hypotenuse it would be like this:

1) plug the numbers to the formula

4^2 + 6^2 = c^{2}

2) solve the exponents of the numbers given (not the letter, in this case "c")

16 + 36 = c^2

3) combine like terms (in this case 16 +36)

52 = c^2

4) Finally, Find the square root of "c" to remove its exponent and do the same to the other side, in this case 52)

\sqrt{52}  = \sqrt{c}

(square root of 52 rounded to the nearest hundred is 7.21)

7.21 = c

<h3><u><em>So  7.21 is your missing side in this example</em></u></h3><h3>look up Pythagorean theorem Khan Academy</h3>
