Extra Credit

EC-1. Give the probabilities, when rolling a pair of fair dice, of rolling each of the

sums 2, 3, 4, . . , 10, 11, 12.

EC-2. Suppose you have a pair of loaded dice. On one die 2 is twice as likely to

come up as any of the other numbers. On the other die, 5 is 3 times as likely to come

up as any other number. What sum is most likely to occur? Why?

15

EC-3. How many zeros are at the end of 10000!

EC-4. List all the twin primes between 100 and 200.

EC-5. Consider the base 32 number system. As with hexadecimal we can use letters

of the alphabet for the values 10, 11, etc. [Use instead of the letter O which looks

too much like the digit 0].

a. What is the largest digit you will have to represent? What letter will be

used to represent it?

b. Give the binary, octal, hexadecimal and decimal representation of

CPU32.

c. of R2D232.

d. Give the base 32 representation of 9090910.

EC-6. We know that 2/5 in base 10 is the terminating decimal 0.4, while 1/3 is the

repeating decimal 0.3333. It turns out that in base 2 the fraction ½ is the terminating

“binimal” 0.1, but 2/5 is the repeating one 0.011001100. It stands to reason that in

base 6 the fraction 1/6 terminates, since the denominator is the base itself. On the

other hand, 2/5 repeats as it did in base 2 – 0.222.

Give some other examples of fractions that terminate in base 10 but repeat in

base 6;

that terminate in base 6 but repeat in base 10;

that terminate in both base 6 and base 10;

that repeat in both base 6 and base 10.

What about fractions in base 7 vis a vis base 10?
