This question involves a weighted die. For this problem, assume that all the odd numbers are equally likely, all the even numbers are equally likely, the odd numbers are k times as likely as the even numbers, and Pr[1]=2/7. What is the value of k?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does the Pr[1]=2/7 mean?

OpenStudy (pulsified333):

I honestly don't know for this problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought it might have something to do with probability

OpenStudy (dan815):

okay so k times as likely

OpenStudy (dan815):

for eeven 2n even number there is k*(2n) of odd numbers

OpenStudy (pulsified333):

okay

OpenStudy (dan815):

the probability of 1 is 2/7 okay

OpenStudy (pulsified333):

true
