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
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the probability of winning the game in each case.
Case 1: Spinning the wheel
The probability of getting a 5 on the wheel is 1/6, since there are 6 equal sections labeled from 1 to 6.
Case 2: Rolling two number cubes
When rolling two number cubes, there are 6 possible outcomes for each cube (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6). Therefore, there are 6 x 6 = 36 possible outcomes when rolling two number cubes.
There are 6 outcomes where both cubes show the same number: (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6).
Therefore, the probability of getting the same number on both cubes is 6/36 or 1/6.
Comparing the probabilities:
The probability of winning by spinning the wheel is 1/6.
The probability of winning by rolling two number cubes is also 1/6.
Therefore, both options have the same probability of winning. It doesn't matter whether Hallie spins the wheel or rolls two number cubes, the probability of winning is the same.

Just an answer that is more personal
Sure, I can provide a more personalized answer for you. Since the probability of winning in both cases is the same, it ultimately comes down to personal preference.
If you prefer a game that is simpler and quicker to play, spinning the wheel may be a better option as there is only one step to determine if you win or not. On the other hand, if you enjoy games that involve more chance and excitement, rolling two number cubes may be a better option as there are more possible outcomes and it may be more thrilling to wait and see if both cubes show the same number.
Ultimately, the decision of whether to spin the wheel or roll two number cubes is up to you and what type of game you prefer.

A bag contains 2 white marbles and 7 purple marbles. Two marbles are drawn at random. One marble is drawn and not replaced. Then a second marble is drawn.
a. What is the probability of selecting a purple marble and then a white marble?
b. What is the probability of selecting two white marbles?
c. Is there a greater chance of selecting two white marbles in a row or two purple marbles in a row? Show your work.
a. Probability of selecting a purple marble and then a white marble:
Since the first marble is drawn and not replaced, the number of marbles in the bag decreases by 1 for the second draw.
P(purple) = 7/9 (since there are 7 purple marbles out of a total of 9 marbles in the bag initially)
P(white) = 2/8 (since there are 2 white marbles left after 1 purple marble is drawn)
P(purple and white) = P(purple) x P(white|purple)
= (7/9) x (2/8)
= 7/36
Therefore, the probability of selecting a purple marble and then a white marble is 7/36.
b. Probability of selecting two white marbles:
P(white) = 2/9 (since there are 2 white marbles out of a total of 9 marbles in the bag initially)
For the second draw, since one white marble has already been drawn and not replaced, there is only 1 white marble left out of 8 marbles.
P(white on second draw) = 1/8
P(two white marbles) = P(white) x P(white on second draw)
= (2/9) x (1/8)
= 1/36
Therefore, the probability of selecting two white marbles is 1/36.
c. Is there a greater chance of selecting two white marbles in a row or two purple marbles in a row?
P(two white marbles in a row) = 1/36
P(two purple marbles in a row) = 6/36
Therefore, there is a greater chance of selecting two purple marbles in a row (6/36 or 1/6) than selecting two white marbles in a row (1/36). This is because there are more purple marbles in the bag and thus a higher chance of drawing two purple marbles in a row.
