In an unbalanced datum the probability of leaving the number two is triple the probability of leaving any other number. Under these conditions, throwing the dice into the air and observing the number that comes out, what is the probability of: A) Leave number two. B) Leave the number one. C) Exit an odd number. D) Leave a number equal to or greater than three.

Question
Answer:
To find the probabilities in this scenario, we can use the information provided: the probability of leaving number two is triple the probability of leaving any other number. Since a standard six-sided die is used, we have a total of six possible outcomes (numbers 1 through 6). Let's calculate the probabilities for each of the cases you've mentioned: A) Probability of leaving number two: Let P(2) be the probability of leaving number 2, and P(other) be the probability of leaving any other number. We're given that P(2) = 3 * P(other). Since the sum of all probabilities must equal 1, we can set up the following equation: P(2) + 5 * P(other) = 1 Now, we can solve for P(2): P(2) = 1 - 5 * P(other) B) Probability of leaving number one: Since there is no specific information given about number 1, we can assume that the probability of leaving number 1 is the same as leaving any other number, which is P(other). B) P(1) = P(other) C) Probability of leaving an odd number: Odd numbers on a standard die are 1, 3, and 5. We can calculate the probability of leaving an odd number by adding the probabilities of leaving each of these numbers: P(odd) = P(1) + P(3) + P(5) D) Probability of leaving a number equal to or greater than three: Numbers equal to or greater than 3 on a standard die are 3, 4, 5, and 6. We can calculate the probability of leaving a number greater than or equal to 3 by adding the probabilities of leaving each of these numbers: P(≥3) = P(3) + P(4) + P(5) + P(6) Now, we can calculate these probabilities using the information we have: Using the equation for P(2): P(2) = 1 - 5 * P(other) Since P(1) = P(other), no additional calculation is needed. For the probability of leaving an odd number: P(odd) = P(1) + P(3) + P(5) = P(other) + P(3) + P(5) For the probability of leaving a number greater than or equal to 3: P(≥3) = P(3) + P(4) + P(5) + P(6) The exact values of these probabilities will depend on the specific value of Probability.
