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 5 landing on Red? Why?

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 1.
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 1.
Calculation:
As on tossing a fair die sample space is S={1,2,3,4,5,6} and probability for each outcome is equal to 16 and taking the sum gives 16+16+16+16+16+16=1.

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 1.
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 1.
Calculation:
As on tossing a fair die sample space is S={1,2,3,4,5,6} and probability for each outcome is equal to 16 and taking the sum gives 16+16+16+16+16+16=1.

c.
To explain:
The probability of spinner landing on Red.
Answer to Problem 1NT
Solution:
The probability of spinner landing on red is nearly 13 as one third part of the circle is covered with Red color.
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 13.

A room has a large circular table with ten seats, numbered 1 to 10, such that to the right of seat number i is seat number i + 1 for all i ∈ {1, . . . , 9} and to the right of seat 10 is seat 1. We want to assign seats to 10 people, 6 of them only speak Slovene, 1 of them only speaks English, and the remaining 3 speak both Slovene and English, by giving out numbered place cards. In how many ways can we do that so that everyone sits next to at least one person who speaks a common language?arrow_forward

(a) How many ways are there if there were twelve total doses of a single type of fertilizer? (b) How many ways are there if there are six total doses of a single type of fertilizer, each plant receives no more than one dose? (c) How many ways are there if is was one dose of each of six types of fertilizers? (d) How many ways are there if there are four doses of fertilizer #1 and eight doses of fertilizer #2? (e) How many ways are there if there are four doses of fertilizer #1 and eight doses of fertilizer #2, and each plant receives no more than one dose of fertilizer #1?
