Summary Introduction

To determine:

The probability of rolling one six-sided die and obtaining 2.

Introduction:

The six-sided die is a cube, on which the numbers from 1to6 are marked once. When the die is rolled one number is obtained as the outcome.

Explanation of Solution

The number 2 is written only once on the die and can be expressed once. The number of chances that two will appear on die is one. The total numbers that can appear on the die are six.

The probability for obtaining two on a six-sided die is as follows:

Probability=Numberofchancesthat2willappearTotalnumbersthatcanappearonadie=16

Explanation of Solution

The occurrences of one or two on a die are exclusive events and therefore, by the addition rule both the probabilities can be added to get the total probability of obtaining either one or two.

The number 1 is written only once on the die and can be expressed once. The number of chances that one will appear on die is one. The total numbers that can appear on die are six.

The probability for obtaining one on a six-sided die is as follows:

Probability=Numberofchancesthat1willappearTotalnumbersthatcanappearonadie=16

The number 2 is written only once on the die and can be expressed once. The number of chances that two will appear on die is one. The total numbers that can appear on die are six.

The probability for obtaining two on a six-sided die is as follows:

Probability=Numberofchancesthat2willappearTotalnumbersthatcanappearonadie=16

The probability of obtaining one or two is as follows:

Probability=Probabilityofobtainingone+Probabiltyofobtainingtwo

Probability=16+16=1+16=26=13

Explanation of Solution

There are three even numbers on a die (two, four, and six). The occurrences of two, four, and six on a die are exclusive events and therefore, by the addition rule the probability can be added to get the total probability of obtaining two, four, and six.

The number 2 is written only once on the die and can be expressed once. The number of chances that two will appear on die is one. The total numbers that can appear on die are six.

The probability for obtaining two on a six-sided die is as follows:

Probability=Numberofchancesthat2willappearTotalnumbersthatcanappearonadie=16

The number 4 is written only once on the die and can be expressed once. The number of chances that four will appear on die is one. The total numbers that can appear on die are six.

The probability for obtaining four on a six-sided die is as follows:

Probability=Numberofchancesthat4willappearTotalnumbersthatcanappearonadie=16

The number 6 is written only once on the die and can be expressed once. The number of chances that six will appear on die is one. The total numbers that can appear on die are six.

The probability for obtaining six on a six-sided die is as follows:

Probability=Numberofchancesthat6willappearTotalnumbersthatcanappearonadie=16

The probability of obtaining two, four, and or six is as follows:

Probability=(Probabilityofobtainingtwo+Probabiltyofobtainingfour+Probabiltyofobtainingsix)

Probability=16+16+16=1+1+16=36=12

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The probability of rolling one six-sided die and obtaining any number but a 6.

Introduction:

The six-sided die is a cube, on which the numbers from 1to6 are marked once. When the die is rolled one number is obtained as the outcome.

Explanation of Solution

The number 6 is written only once on the die and can be expressed once. The number of chances that six will appear on die is one. The total numbers that can appear on die are six.

The probability for obtaining six on a six-sided die is as follows:

Probability=Numberofchancesthat6willappearTotalnumbersthatcanappearonadie=16

The probability of obtaining any number but a six is as follows:

Probability=Numberofchancesthat6willnotappearTotalnumbersthatcanappearonadie=56

Conclusion

The probability of rolling one six-sided die and obtaining 2 is 16. The probability of rolling one six-sided die and obtaining one or two is 13. The probability of rolling one six-sided die and obtaining an even number is 12. The probability of rolling one six-sided die and obtaining any number but a 6 is 56.

9. Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. fatty acids glycerol 18 carbons 12 carbons 0=
