1.Which value cannot represent the probability of an event occurring? 0.01 (2)/(85) 62.5% 1.1 explain it
2.TEN.
+NOT.
NINE.
- Solve this AlphaMath problem in base 10.
- Now solve it in base 6.
The Correct Answer and Explanation is :
Question 1: Probability Values
A probability value represents the likelihood of an event occurring and must always be between 0 and 1 inclusive. The values 0 and 1 correspond to an impossibility and a certainty, respectively.
- 0.01 is a valid probability, indicating a 1% chance that the event will occur.
- ( \frac{2}{85} ) is also a valid probability, approximately 0.0235, meaning there’s about a 2.35% chance of the event occurring.
- 62.5% as a probability is valid, equivalent to 0.625.
- 1.1 is not a valid probability because it is greater than 1. Probabilities greater than 1 imply a likelihood exceeding 100%, which is not possible.
Thus, 1.1 cannot represent the probability of an event occurring because it exceeds the maximum possible value of 1 (or 100%).
Question 2: AlphaMath Problem
The problem is:
TEN
+ NOT
------
NINE
Solving in Base 10
To solve this, we need to assign digits to letters so the sum holds true. A correct solution in base 10 is:
392
+ 867
------
1259
Where T = 3, E = 9, N = 2, O = 6, and I = 5. This satisfies the equation (TEN + NOT = NINE) in base 10.
Solving in Base 6
In base 6, the digits available are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Let’s find a combination where (TEN + NOT = NINE) holds true in base 6:
135
+ 421
------
1000
In this solution:
- T = 1, E = 3, N = 5, O = 2, I = 0.
Here, (135 + 421 = 1000) in base 6, which is converted to decimal as (1 \times 6^3 = 216), and the components also translate to their respective decimal values correctly, ensuring the solution’s integrity in base 6.
Explanation of the Solution
In base 10, the solution involves basic arithmetic with straightforward digit substitution. Each letter represents a unique decimal digit, and the sum must equal the expected total. Solving in base 6 introduces a constraint where digits are limited from 0 to 5, requiring a careful balancing of values to satisfy the addition within a smaller numeric system. This problem illustrates the concepts of positional value and base conversion, emphasizing that the principles of arithmetic apply in any numeral system, albeit with different digit availability and place values.
Now, let’s generate the image of this AlphaMath problem solved in base 10 and base 6 as you requested.
