Elementary Probability


Introduction to elementary probability:

          The elementary probability started with gambling, The probability mostly used in the field of physical science, commerce, biology science, medical science, weather forecasting , etc., An experiment having more than one possible outcome is called statistical experiment. A statistical experiment is also known as a trial. Tossing a coin whether it results in a head or a tail is a trial. Certain statements implying more than one possible situation can also be termed as trials.


Elementary probability of an event

In a random experiment, let S be the sample space and E `sube` S. Then E is an event.

The elementary probability of occurrence of E is defined as

            P (E)= number of outcomes favorable to occurrence of E
                         number of all possible outcomes

                        = number of distinct element in E
                                number of distinct element in S

                        = n (E)
                           n (S)

                        Therefore P (E) = n(E)
                                                  n(S)


Elementary probability example problem

Example 1:

A coin is tossed once. Find the probability of getting a head?

Solution:

When a coin is tossed once, the sample space is given by S= {H, T},

Let E be the event of getting a head.

Then, E = {H}.

Therefore n(E)=1 and n(S)=2.

P (getting a head)= p(E)= n(E) / n(S) = 1 / 2.

Example 2:

Two coins are tossed once. Find the probability of

(i)Getting 2 heads

(ii)Getting a least 1 head

(iii)Getting no head

(iv)Getting 1 tail and 1 tail

Solution:

Where 2 coins are tossed once, the sample space is given by S= {HH, HT, TH, TT} and, therefore, n(S)=4.

(i)Getting 2 head

Let E1 = event of getting 2 heads. Then,

E1= {HH} and, therefore, n (E1) =1.

Therefore P (getting 2 heads) = P(E1) =  n(E1) / n(S) = 1 / 4

(ii)Getting at least 1 head

Let E2 = event of getting at least 1 head. Then,

E2= {HT, TH, HH} and, therefore, n (E2) =3.

Therefore P (getting at least 1 head) = P (E2) = n(E2) / n(S) = 3 / 4

(iii)Getting no head

Let E3 = event of getting no head. Then,

E3= {TT} and, therefore, n (E3) =1.

Therefore P (getting no head) = P (E3) = n(E3) / n(S) = 1 / 4

(iv)Getting 1 head and 1 tail

Let E4 = event of getting 1 head and 1 tail. Then,

E4= {HT, TH} and, therefore, n (E4) =2.

Therefore P (getting 1 head and 1 tail) = P (E4) = n(E4) / n(S) = 2 / 4 = 1 / 2.

Elementary Algebra Homework


Introduction for elementary algebra homework:

Algebra is a branch of mathematics. Algebra plays an important role in our day to day life. The elementary algebra covers that the four basic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division In Algebra, besides numerals we use symbols and alphabets in place of unknown numbers to make a statement. Hence, elementary algebra  homework covers may be as they regarded as in extension of Arithmetic Understanding One-step Linear Equations is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.


Basic rules and properties of elementary algebra homework:


•     Variables

Algebraic variables are the alphabetical characters which can be used for assigning the value. While solving the algebraic equation value of that variable will be changed. Widely used variables are x, y, z

•     Constant

An algebraic constants are the value whose value are never to be changed during the solving the algebraic equation. In 2y + 5, the value 5 is the constant.

•     Expressions

An algebraic Expression is the combination of that variables, constant, coefficients, exponents, terms which are combined by the following arithmetic operations Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The example of an algebraic expression is given below

2y + 5

•     Term

Terms of the algebraic expression is concatenated to the form of a algebraic expression by the arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. In the following example 3n2 + 2n the terms 3n2, 2n are combined to form the algebraic expression 3n2 + 2n by the addition operation (+)

•     Coefficient

The coefficient of an algebraic expression has the value will present just before the terms. From the following example, 3n2 + 2n the coefficient of 3n2 is 3 and 2n is 2

•     Equations

An algebraic equation equals the numbers or expressions. Most probably algebraic equation is used for that an value of the variable. The example of the equation is given below

2y + 5=0

In elementary algebra, we list out the fundamental rules and properties of pre-algebra and give examples on they may be used.

Suppose that the a, b and c are variables or pre-algebraic expressions.

Suppose that the a, b and c are variables or pre-algebraic expressions.

1. Commutative Property of Addition In elementary algebra.

a + b = b + a

Examples:

1. real numbers

2 + 3 = 3 + 2

2. pre-algebra expressions

x 2 + x = x + x 2

2. Commutative Property of Multiplication In the elementary algebra.

a * b = b * a

Examples:

1. real numbers

5 * 7 = 7 * 5

2. pre-algebra expressions

(x 3 - 2) * x = x * (x 3 - 2)

3. Associative Property of Addition In elementary algebra.

(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)

Math Questions and Answers


Introduction to math questions and answers:

Mathematics is the study of quantity, structure, space, and change. Mathematicians seek out patterns, formulate new conjectures, and establish truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions. There is debate over whether mathematical objects such as numbers and points exist naturally or are human creations. The mathematician Benjamin Peirce called mathematics "the science that draws necessary conclusions". In this article we shall discuss about  math questions and answers.


Math questions and answers:


Some of the important math Questions and Answers are given below ,

Example 1:

Solve the equation 5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13

Answer:

Given the equation

5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13

Multiply factors.

-15x - 10 - x + 3 = -16x - 20 +13

Group like terms

-16x - 7 = -16x - 7

Add 16x + 7 to both sides

0 = 0

Example 2:

Find the average marks obtained by john in his 5 test.

92, 86,90,94,96

Solution:

Number of test = 5

Marks obtained by john = 92, 86, 90, 94, 96

Average marks obtained by john in 5 test = ` (92+86+90+94+96)/5`

Average =  91.6.

Example 3:

Solve 9x2 + 6x - 3 = 0 for x.

Solution:  Factor:  (9x - 3)(x + 1) = 0

9x - 3 = 0, x + 1 = 0

9x = 3 ,      x = -1

x = (1 / 3) ,   x = -1

x = -1,(1/3)


Example 4:


Surface area of a right circular cylinder of height 30 cm is 112 cm^2. find the radius of the base.

Solution:

Curved surface area = (2?r h) = 112 cm^2

2*(22/7)* r *30 = 112

r = (7*112)/(2*22*30)

= 784/1320.

= 0.5939 cm

Hence, radius of the base = 0.5939 cm.

Example 5:

Find the median of the following set of points:

17, 16, 12, 8, 12, 9, 18, 14

Solution:

Step 1:

First arrange the given numbers in ascending or descending order.

8, 9, 12, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18

Step 2:

Here 4th and 5th number of the given observation are 12, 14

So 12 and 14 are the middle observation

Step 3:

So median of the even observation = average of the middle two numbers

Median = `(12+14)/2`

= 26/2

= 13

So the median is 13.

The Math Term for Conjecture


Introduction to math term conjecture:

The term conjecture in math refers a statement or assumptions that are not proved. It is like a theorem, but they have not proved. For example the kite area conjecture states that the area of kite is equal to half the product lengths of two diagonals. The term Conjecture can be also mean as rules or conditions. In this article we shall some math conjectures and example problems.

Math Term for Conjecture – Formulas:

Rectangle area conjecture:

Area of rectangle (A) = b x h square units

Where,

A – Area of rectangle

b – Length of the base

h – Height of the rectangle

Trapezoid area conjecture:

The diagram of trapezoid is shown in below.

Area of trapezoid (A) = `1/2` x h x (a + b) square units

Where,

A – Area of trapezoid

h – Height

a, b – length of two parallel sides

Circle area conjecture:

The diagram of circle is shown in below

Area of the circle (A) = pr2 square units

Where,

A – Area of circle

r – Radius of circle

Having problem with Cube Root Formula keep reading my upcoming posts, i will try to help you.

Math Term for Conjecture – Example Problems:

1. The rectangle has base length 10.5 cm and height 5.5 cm. solve for area of rectangle.

Solution:

Given:

Base Length (b) = 10.5 cm,

Height (h) = 5.5 cm

Solving area:

Rectangle area conjecture:

Area of rectangle = b x h square unit.

= 10.5 x 5.5

Area of rectangle = 57.75 cm^2

2.      Find the area of trapezoid whose height 13.5 cm, side a= 7.5 cm and side b= 9.5 cm

Solution:

Given:

Height (h) = 13.5 cm

Side a= 7.5 cm;            b= 9.5 cm

Formula:

Area of trapezoid (A) = `1/2` x h x (a + b) square units

=`1/2` x 13.5 x (7.5 + 9.5)

=`1/2` x 13.5 x 17

=`1/2` x 229.5

= `229.5 / 2`

= 114.75

Area of trapezoid (A) = 114.75 cm^2

3. The radius of a circle is 8.5 cm. Find the area of that circle?

Solution:

Given:

r = 8.5 cm

Formula:

Area of the circle = p x r^2

p = 3.14

A = 3.14 x (8.5)^2

=3.14 x 72.25

Area of circle = 226.86 cm^2
