The probability that the sum of the two rolls equals 5 is 1/16.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Number of sample

Given a single die with 8 sides (numbered 1, 2, 3, ..., 8) is rolled twice, the total outcome will be:

Total outcome = 8^2

Total outcome = 64

For the sum of two rolls, the expected outcome will be:

E = {(1, 4), (4, 1), (3, 2), (2, 3)}

n(E) = 4

Pr(sum of the two rolls is 5) = 4/64

Pr(sum of the two rolls is 5) = 1/16

Hence the probability that the sum of the two rolls equals 5 is 1/16

In how many ways can a member of a hiring committee select 3 of 12 job applicants for further consideration?
Andrew [12]

Answer: 220

Step-by-step explanation:

When we wanto to create a group of K elements for a set of N elements (where the order of the K elements does not matter, so we do not considerate the permutations of the K elements), the number of possible combinations is:

C = \frac{N!}{(N - K)!*K!}

Here N = 12 and K = 3

C = \frac{12!}{9!*3!} = \frac{12*11*10}{3*2} = 220

So there are 220 possible combinations

Pretty Pavers company is installing a driveway. Below is a diagram of the driveway they are

Answer:

The most correct option is;

(B) 958.2 ft.²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the dimension of each square = 3 ft.²

Therefore, the length of the sides of the square = √3 ft.

Based on the above dimensions, the dimension of the small semicircle is found by counting the number of square sides ti subtends as follows;

The dimension of the diameter of the small semicircle = 10·√3

Radius of the small semicircle = Diameter/2 = 10·√3/2 = 5·√3

Area of the small semicircle = (π·r²)/2 = (π×(5·√3)²)/2 = 117.81 ft.²

Similarly;

The dimension of the diameter of the large semicircle = 10·√3 + 2 × 6 × √3

∴ The dimension of the diameter of the large semicircle = 22·√3

Radius of the large semicircle = Diameter/2 = 22·√3/2 = 11·√3

Area of the large semicircle = (π·r²)/2 = (π×(11·√3)²)/2 = 570.2 ft.²

Area of rectangle = 11·√3 × 17·√3 = 561

Area, A of large semicircle cutting into the rectangle is found as follows;

A_{(segment \, of \, semicircle)} = \frac{1}{4} \times (\theta - sin\theta) \times r^2

Where:

\theta = 2\times tan^{-1}( \frac{The \, number \, of  \, vertical  \, squrare  \, sides  \ cut  \,  by  \  the  \  large  \,  semicircle}{The \, number \, of  \, horizontal \, squrare  \, sides  \ cut  \,  by  \  the  \  large  \,  semicircle} )

\therefore \theta = 2\times tan^{-1}( \frac{10\cdot \sqrt{3} }{5\cdot \sqrt{3}} ) = 2.214

Hence;

A_{(segment \, of \, semicircle)} = \frac{1}{4} \times (2.214 - sin2.214) \times (11\cdot\sqrt{3} )^2 = 128.3 \, ft^2

Therefore; t

The area covered by the pavers = 561 - 128.3 + 570.2 - 117.81 = 885.19 ft²

Therefor, the most correct option is (B) 958.2 ft.².
