Question

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Match each function with its possible output.

a) Now
b) Rand
c) Sqrt
d) Today
e) 5
f) 2/6/2015
g) 16:10
h) 02/06/15
i) 0.27

Answer 1

To solve the matching question, one would pair each function with its corresponding output based on what each function commonly represents. For probability exercises, calculations are based on the ratio of the number of desired outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

When matching each function with its possible output from the given options:

• a) 'Now' would generally correspond to the current time, thus being matched with '16:10' (h).
• b) 'Rand' is a function typically used to generate a random number, which could correspond to '0.27' (i).
• c) 'Sqrt' stands for square root, so it would match with '5' (e) since the square root of 25 is 5.
• d) 'Today' would match with the current date in various formats such as '2/6/2015' (f) or '02/06/15' (g).

For the probability-based exercises, the process typically involves calculating the likelihood of an event by using the formula for probability which is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of possible outcomes. For example, to find the probability that a student belongs to a club, one would need the total number of students in the club divided by the total number of students.
