Because if not, different people would get different answers. If the expression is evaluated without using the order of operations, the answer won’t be the same. I hope this helps!
Answer:
23 maybe
Step-by-step explanation:
There are six sides on each die. For each possible score on Die 1, there are six possible scores on Die 2. So the number of possible combinations is 6*6 = 36.
<span>It follows that if the dice are thrown 36 times, you would expect each combination to come up once. </span>
<span>We therefore simply need to know how many combinations add up to less than 5. (I've interpreted this as not including a total of 5 itself). </span>
<span>These combinations are: 1 and 1, 2 and 1, 1 and 2, 2 and 2, 3 and 1, and 1 and 3 ---> six combinations out of 36. </span>
<span>So you'd expect a sum less than 5 six times. </span>
