Hallie is trying to win the grand prize on a game show. Should she try her luck by spinning a wheel with 6 equal sections labeled from 1 to 6 and hope she gets a 5, or should she roll two number cubes and hope she gets the same number on both cubes? Explain
i needdddddddd helpppppp
spin: P(5) = 1/6
dice: P(double) = 6/36 = 1/6
hey oobleck can u help me
complete the function table then write the rule for the function
-3 ?
-2 -4
-1 ?
0 ?
1 -1
help me plz
If it's supposed to be a straight line, then since it goes through (-2,-4) and (1,-1) it has slope 1, making y = x+b
So I'd say that y = x-2 will let you fill in the table.
To determine which option Hallie should choose, we need to compare the probabilities of achieving the desired outcome in each case.
1. Spinning a wheel:
Since there are 6 equal sections labeled from 1 to 6, the probability of getting a 5 is 1 out of 6, or 1/6. This means there is a 1 in 6 chance of Hallie winning the grand prize.
2. Rolling two number cubes:
A standard number cube has 6 sides labeled from 1 to 6. To get the same number on both cubes, Hallie needs both cubes to land on the same face. The number of outcomes where both cubes show the same number is 6 (1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, 6-6). The total number of possible outcomes when rolling two number cubes is 6 * 6 = 36. Therefore, the probability of getting the same number on both cubes is 6 out of 36, or 6/36, which can be simplified to 1/6 as well.
As both options have the same probability of winning (1/6), it doesn't matter if Hallie spins the wheel or rolls two number cubes; the chances of winning the grand prize are equal in both cases. Thus, Hallie can choose either option as her chances are the same for both.
