Question

(1 point) Rework problem 16 from section 2.1 of your text, involving a weighted die. For this problem, assume that all the odd numbers are equally likely to come up, all the even numbers are equally likely to come up, and the odd numbers are six times as likely to come up as the even numbers.

Answer 1

Find the probability x of getting an odd number and probability y of getting an even. x = 6y if is an odd is six times as likely as an even. x+y = 1 or 6y + y = 1. Therefore, y=1/7 and x = 6/7. Rework your problem using this result for x and y.
