Question

On a biased dice, the probability of getting a two is 0.1. the dice is rolled 250 times

Answer 1

0.790, or 79%.

Explanation:

If the probability of getting a two on a biased dice is 0.1, then the probability of not getting a two is 0.9.

We can use the binomial distribution to calculate the probability of getting a certain number of twos in 250 rolls of the dice. The formula for the binomial distribution is:

P(X = k) = C(n, k) * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k)

Where:

P(X = k) is the probability of getting exactly k twos

n is the number of trials (250 rolls)

k is the number of successes (getting a two)

p is the probability of success (0.1)

(1-p) is the probability of failure (0.9)

C(n, k) is the number of ways to choose k successes from n trials (n choose k)

To calculate the probability of getting exactly k twos in 250 rolls, we plug in the values for n, k, p, and (1-p) into the formula:

P(X = k) = C(250, k) * 0.1^k * 0.9^(250-k)

We can use a calculator or a software program to find the probabilities for different values of k. Here are some examples:

The probability of getting no twos (k = 0) is P(X = 0) = C(250, 0) * 0.1^0 * 0.9^250 = 0.057

The probability of getting exactly one two (k = 1) is P(X = 1) = C(250, 1) * 0.1^1 * 0.9^249 = 0.153

The probability of getting at least two twos (k >= 2) is the complement of the probability of getting zero or one two:

P(X >= 2) = 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1)

= 1 - 0.057 - 0.153

= 0.790

Therefore, the probability of getting at least two twos in 250 rolls of the biased dice is approximately 0.790, or 79%.

Answer 2

If the probability of getting a two on a biased dice is 0.1, then the probability of not getting a two is 0.9.

To find the expected number of times a two is rolled in 250 rolls:

Expected value = (probability of an event occurring) x (number of trials)

Expected number of twos = 0.1 x 250 = 25

To find the expected number of times a number other than two is rolled in 250 rolls:

Expected number of non-twos = 0.9 x 250 = 225

Therefore, we would expect to roll a two 25 times and a number other than two 225 times in 250 rolls of this biased dice.
