An archery target consists of a gold circle with radius of 5 inches surrounded by a red ring whose diameter is 20 inches. Next, there are three progressively larger rings – blue, black, and white. The diameter of each ring is 10 inches larger than the diameter of the previous ring. John is a beginner so his aim is poor and, if his arrow hits the target, its location on the target is completely at random. John shoots and then yells, “I hit it!” Without using your calculator, find the following probabilities. Write the answers as a percentage. a) The probability his arrow landed in the gold circle is ______. b) The probability his arrow landed in the white area is ______. c) The probability his arrow landed in the red or the blue area is ______.
Suppose you are making a six faces dice. With each of the six faces, you need to put a number 1 to 6 on the faces so that each number is on a distant face. How many different dice can you make? (two dices are considered different if it is impossible to rotate the cube to match one another)
One game at a carnival is called “Duck Pond.” This game consists of a large number of ducks that arefloating through an oval-shaped trough. A sign claims that 20% of the ducks have a blue dot on thebottom of them, 20% have a red dot, 20% have a green dot, 20% have a yellow dot, and 20% have anorange dot. Players pay to select one duck, show the color to the game attendant, replace the duck, spinaround once, and then select a second duck. If the dot on the bottom of the second duck matches the dotthat was on the bottom of the first duck, the player wins. Otherwise, the player loses.
a) Are the events “color of the first duck” and “color of the second duck” independent? Explain.
b) You want to perform a simulation to estimate the probability of winning this game, assuming theduck colors are distributed as claimed. Describe how you could use a table of random digits tocarry out this simulation without needing to skip any digits.
c) Perform 10 trials of the simulation described in part (b)…

- A role-playing game uses a die that has seven sides numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. How many branches would a tree diagram have that shows the way two seven-sided die could be rolled?arrow_forwardA 20-sided die is often used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons. During the game players may face something called a "skill check" where they must roll a 20-sided die and get a result equal to or above a given value. For example, a player may be required to roll a 15 or above in order to succeed and pass the skill check. Rolling a 14 or lower would be a failure. If the player rolls the die 10 times in a row, what is the expected number of rolls that would pass the skill check by rolling as a 15 or higher? For the previous calculations, what is the standard deviation for the number of times the die would be rolled 15 or above?Round your answer to 2 decimal places.During a game of Dungeons and Dragons, the previously-mentioned player rolls the 20-sided die 30 times in total. What is the probablity that they successfully roll a 15 or higher exactly 7 times during that game? Express your final answer as a percentage to 2 decimal places.

- Consider a square (see below). In the center of the square lives Jes. His friends (four of them: Abe (A), Bagen(B), Calvin (C) and Danny (D)) each live at one of the four corners of the squares. Jes decides to visit a friend.His choice is random and he is equally likely to visit any one of them first. Once at a friends house, he will either return home or else proceed to visit one of the nearest two adjacent friends. That is, if Jes is at D, then, he willeither return home or visit A or C, and the probability of each of the possibilities is the same. Following this pattern, Jes, continues to visit friends. Let X be the number of times Jes visits a friend (that is, the number of visits to friends).(a) What is the pmf of X?(b) What is the expected value of X?(c) If we define a new random variable Y to be the number of straight line segments that Jes traverses, including those leading home. What is the pmf of Y ?arrow_forwardA game uses a single 6-sided die.

- A game is played with a pile of tokens and a fair number cube with each face labeled with a different number from one through six. Each player rolls the number cube. If the result is a 1, 4, or 6, the player wins that number of tokens. If the result is a 2, 3, or 5, the player loses that number of tokens.
