<span>2/15 if drawn without replacement. 1/9 if drawn with replacement. Assuming that the chips are drawn without replacement, there are 6 * 5 different possibilities. And that's a low enough number to exhaustively enumerate them. So they are: 1,2 : 1,3 : 1,4 : 1,5 : 1,6 2,1 : 2,3 : 2,4 : 2,5 : 2,6 3,1 : 3,2 : 3.4 : 3,5 : 3,6 4,1 : 4,2 : 4.3 : 4,5 : 4,6 5,1 : 5,2 : 5.3 : 5,4 : 5,6 6,1 : 6,2 : 6.3 : 6,4 : 6,5 Of the above 30 possible draws, there are 4 that add up to 5. So the probability is 4/30 = 2/15 If the draw is done with replacement, then there are 36 possible draws. Once again, small enough to exhaustively list, they are: 1,1 : 1,2 : 1,3 : 1,4 : 1,5 : 1,6 2,1 : 2,2 : 2,3 : 2,4 : 2,5 : 2,6 3,1 : 3,2 : 3,3 : 3.4 : 3,5 : 3,6 4,1 : 4,2 : 4.3 : 4,4 : 4,5 : 4,6 5,1 : 5,2 : 5.3 : 5,4 : 5,5 : 5,6 6,1 : 6,2 : 6.3 : 6,4 : 6,5 : 6,6 And of the above 36 possibilities, exactly 4 add up to 5. So you have 4/36 = 1/9</span>

Jackson goes to the gym 0, 2, or 3 days per week, depending on work demands. The expected value of the number of days per week t
valina [46]

For a probability distribution the expected value is the summation of product of probabilities with their respective data values. Let x be the probability that Jackson goes gym for 2 days and y be the probability that he goes gym for 3 days.

For the given case we have following values and their probabilities:

0 : 0.1

2 : x

3 : y

So the expected value will be = 0(0.1) + 2(x) + 3(y)

Expected value is given to be 2.05. So we can write the equation as:

2x + 3y = 2.05 (Equation 1)

Also for a probability distribution, the sum of probabilities must always equal to 1. So we can set up the second equation as:

0.1 + x + y = 1

x + y = 0.9 (Equation 2)

From Equation 2 we can write the value of x to be x = 0.9 - y. Using this value in equation 1, we get:

2(0.9 - y) + 3y = 2.05

1.8 - 2y + 3y = 2.05

1.8 + y = 2.05

y = 0.25

Using the value of y in equation 2 we get value of x to be 0.65

Therefore we can conclude that:

The probability that Jackson goes to gym for 2 days is 0.65 and the probability that he goes to gym for 3 days is 0.25

El producto de dos números consecutivos es 552 cuáles son esos números?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: 23 y 24 ( ó -23 y -24)

Step-by-step explanation:

Dos números consecutivos se escriben como:

n y (n + 1)

done n es un numero entero.

Entonces "El producto de dos números consecutivos es 552"

Se escribe como:

n*(n + 1) = 552

n^2 + n = 552

n^2 + n - 552 = 0

Tenemos una cuadrática, las posibles soluciones son obtenidas con la formula de Bhaskara.

n = \frac{-1 +- \sqrt{1^2 - 4*1*(-552)} }{2} = \frac{-1 +- 47}{2}

Las dos soluciones son.

n = (-1 - 47)/2 = -48/2 = -24

n = (-1 + 47)/2 = 46/2 = 23

Si tomamos la primer solución, n = -24

Entonces los dos números consecutivos son:

n = -24

(n + 1) = -23

Si n = 23 entonces

n + 1 = 24

Lo cual tiene sentido, por que lo único que cambia son los signos, los cuales se cancelarían en la multiplicación.

Amanda has 26 nickels and dimes in her piggy bank. the number of nickels is two fewer than three times the number of dimes. how
vitfil [10]
<span>Amanda has 26 nickels and dimes. We shall call nickels x and dimes y. We can write the following equations: x = 3y -2 or -x +3y = 2 x + y = 26 We can cancel out the x to give 4y = 28 or y = 7 If there are 26 coins in total and 7 of them are dimes then there must be 19 nickels. The number of nickels (19) is two fewer than three times the number of dimes ( 3(7) - 2 = 19).</span>
