Question
A die is a cube with six sides on which each side contains one to six dots. Suppose a blue die and a gray die are rolled together, and the numbers of dots that occur face up on each are recorded. The possible outcomes of the sample space S are listed as follows, where in each case the die on the left is blue and the one on the right is gray.
S | = | {11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, |
41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66} |
Write the following event as a set. (Enter your answer in set-roster notation. Enter EMPTY or ∅ for the empty set.)
The event that the numbers showing face up are the same.
Compute the probability of E.

- Step 2 The three-digit numbers from left to right from the random number table were found to be the following. 885 470 989 695 436 791 150 830 301 041 200 306 375 408 459 283 Since there are only 645 students in the sample, any number greater than 645 from this list cannot be used and will be skipped. The first number in this list, 885, is greater than the sample size 645, so 885 will not be used. Thus, the first usable number from the list of random three-digit numbers is x. The full list of 10 three-digit numbers that will be used from a sample of 645 students are as follows.

- A box contains 10,000 tickets: 4,000 zeros and 6,000 ones. And 10,000 draws will be made at random without replacement from the box. Which of the following best describes the situation? Group of answer choices The number of 1’s is likely to be different from 6,000, but the difference is likely to be small when compared to 10,000 draws. The number of 1’s will be 6,000 exactly. The number of 1’s is very likely to equal 6,000, but there is also some small chance that it will not be equal to 6,000.arrow_forwardAn urn contains 5 tiles, each containing one of the numbers from 1 to 5.

- Role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons use many different types of dice. Suppose that a four-sided die has faces marked 1, 2, 3, and 4. The intelligence of a character is determined by rolling this die three times and adding 2 to the sum of the spots. The faces are equally likely, and the three rolls are independent. What is the average (mean) intelligence for such characters?arrow_forwardAssume that the box contains 7 balls: 4 white, 2 green, and 1 blue.
