Two pyramids are thrown with faces 1,2,4,6. Find the probability to get a sum of even number on an their faces?
a) 5/8
b)3/4
(i dnt remember)
Read Solution (Total 11)
-
- 1 pyramid can show 4 different kind of arrangements
1,2,4=7
1,2,6=9
1,4,6=11
2,4,6=12
So, out of 4 outcomes
3 are odd and 1 is even.
In question given two pyramids are thrown.
So, to make some of their faces as even
Condition 1: some of both individual faces of each pyramid is odd
3/4 * 3/4
=9/16
Condition 2: some of both individual faces of pyramid is even
1/4 + 1/4
=1/16
Total such conditions = 9/16 + 1/16
= 10/16
= 5/8 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(17) No(0)
- total sum = 4*4=16
favorable case odd+odd = even
1*1=1;
and
even +even = even
3*3=9
so total = 10
so probability = 10/16=5/8
so b ans - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- odd + odd =1/4*1/4
even + even =3/4*3/4
add both
we get answer=5/8 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- pyramids have 5 faces but in q.. given only 4 faces(1,2,4,6)
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- Ans:a)5/8
total favourable events=10
total possible case=4*4=16
P=10/16=5/8 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- a-5/8 is d ri8 ans.
