« on: June 08, 2011, 07:57:54 am »
there are 100 balls which are enumerated since the 1 till 100.
whats the probability to pick a number which is into this inequality
35>=Ballpicked>=72
alternatives:
 
A) 0,35 D) 0,38B) 0,36 E) 0,72

C) 0,37
first I thought that It was 0.37 but It wasnt good luck

I would go with D) 0.38

Because all the possibilities are:
Code: [Select]
  35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 
Count them and you'll find 38. Then again, 38 / 100 = 0.38.

35>=Ballpicked>=72

Ballpicked <= 35 AND ballpicked >=72

Right answer: F) 0.
There is no number lesser than 35 ang higher than 72.

Hm, that's interesting. So you say that 1 ≥ x ≥ 10 is equivalent 1 ≤ x ≤ 10? Or I do understand it wrong somehow?

it is simply compressed what you write is 35>=Ballpicked>=72
but what you must think is:
35>=Ballpicked        and        Ballpicked>=72
so it says
35 is greater then or equel to ballpicked
and BallPicked is greater then or equal to 72
But I think something went wrong in the writings
since 35 has to be bigger or equal to ballpicked while at the same time ballpicked has to be bigger or equal then 72
so 35 should be bigger then 72
so there is something wrong here :P
