(II) Calculate the probabilities, when you throw two dice, of obtaining (a) a 4, and (b) a 10.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability of obtaining 4 is (a) \(\frac{1}{{12}}\), and of obtaining 10 is (b) \(\frac{1}{{12}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The total number of dice is \(n = 2\).

02

Understanding probability

The probability can be obtained by dividing the number of desired results by the number of possible results.

03

Evaluation of probability of obtaining 4 when you throw two dice  

The total number of possible results is 36 when you throw two dice.

The following are the possibility of coming 4.

\(\left( {1,3} \right),\left( {2,2} \right),\left( {3,1} \right)\)

The probability of getting 4 is calculated below:

\(\begin{array}{l}P = \frac{3}{{36}}\\P = \frac{1}{{12}}\end{array}\)

Thus, \(\frac{1}{{12}}\) is the required probability.

04

Evaluation of probability of obtaining 10 when you throw two dice  

The following are the possibility of coming 10.

\(\left( {4,6} \right),\left( {6,4} \right),\left( {5,5} \right)\)

The probability of getting 4 is calculated below:

\(\begin{array}{l}P = \frac{3}{{36}}\\P = \frac{1}{{12}}\end{array}\)

Thus, \(\frac{1}{{12}}\) is the required probability.

If \({\bf{1}}{\bf{.00}}\;{{\bf{m}}{\bf{3}}}\) of water at 0ยฐC is frozen and cooled to \( - {\bf{8}}{\bf{.}}{{\bf{0}}{\bf{o}}}{\bf{C}}\) by being in contact with a great deal of ice at \( - {\bf{8}}{\bf{.}}{{\bf{0}}{\bf{o}}}{\bf{C}}\) estimate the total change in entropy of the process.

A cooling unit for a new freezer has an inner surface area of\({\bf{8}}{\bf{.0}}\;{{\bf{m}}{\bf{2}}}\), and is bounded by walls 12 cm thick with a thermal conductivity of\({\bf{0}}{\bf{.050}}\;{\bf{W/m}} \cdot {\bf{K}}\). The inside must be kept at -15ยฐC in a room that is at 22ยฐC. The motor for the cooling unit must run no more than 15% of the time. What is the minimum power requirement of the cooling motor?

(d) Find the change in internal energy of the gas for the two-step process B.

Can the temperature of a system remain constant even though heat flows into or out of it? If so, give examples.
