There is a rack of 12 billiard balls. balls numbered 1 through 8 are? solid-colored. balls numbered 9 through 12 contain stripes. if one ball is selected at? random, determine the odds against it being striped.

Odds against it being striped = 2/3 =0.6667 = 66.67 %

Explanation:

  Total number of billiard balls = 12

  Total number of solid colored balls = 8

  Total number of striped colored balls = 4

  Probability of an outcome = Number of favorable outcome/ Total number of outcome.

   Here total number of outcomes = Total number of billiard balls =  12

   Number of favorable outcomes =Total number of striped colored balls = 4

   Probability of ball being striped = 4/12 = 1/3 =0.333 =33.33 %

 So odds in favor of being striped = 1/3

 Odds against it being striped = 1-1/3 = 2/3 =0.6667 = 66.67 %

answer: expected value of x = 1.0

step-by-step explanation:

p(x=0) = 0.25

p(x=1) = 0.50

p(x=2) = 0.25

expected value for x = 0×0.25 + 1×0.5 + 2×0.25 = 1.0
