a. In an experiment of tossing a fair die once, what is the sum of the probabilities of all the distinct outcomes in the
b. Does the sum of the probabilities of all the distinct outcomes of any sample space always result in same number?
c. What is the probability of the spinner in Figure
a.
To explain:
The sum of all the distinct outcomes in the sample space.
Answer to Problem 1NT
Solution:
The sum of probabilities of all the distinct outcomes in the sample space is always
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A fair die is tossed once.
Approach:
By calculating the probability for each event and taking the sum or by using the result that the sum of probabilities of all the events of sample space is
Calculation:
As on tossing a fair die sample space is
b.
To explain:
Whether the sum of all the probabilities of all the distinct outcomes of any sample space always result in same number.
Answer to Problem 1NT
Solution:
Yes the sum of all the probabilities of all the distinct outcomes of any sample space always result in same number equal to
Explanation of Solution
Approach:
As the probability is the no. of times event happened divided by total events and when the sum is taken for all probabilities it gives
Calculation:
As on tossing a fair die sample space is
c.
To explain:
The probability of spinner landing on Red.
Answer to Problem 1NT
Solution:
The probability of spinner landing on red is nearly
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A following spinner is given:
Approach:
By calculating the area covered by the color Red and taking the probability of it by whole area.
Calculation:
As the area of the Red part is nearly third part of the total area of the circle so the probability of getting red color on spinner is

- pls help asaparrow_forwardQuestion 2 (3.5 points) A firm produces a certain good. The current unit price of the good is equal to €7. At this price level, the marginal demand is equal to -0.8 and the point elasticity of demand is equal to -0.28. a. Give a precise economic interpretation of the number -0.8. b. Find the exact value of the current revenue of the firm and estimate the change in revenue if the current unit price is reduced by 3%. Next, assume that the demand is given by an equation of the form q = a/(bp). c. Find the values of the parameters a and b. Answer to Question 2:arrow_forwardpls help asaparrow_forward
