Let's call the event of the red die to show a six as event A, and the event of the green die to show a six as event B.

The theoretical probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes. On both dices, we have 6 possible outcomes(the numbers from 1 to 6), with one favourable outcome(the number 6), therefore, the probabilities of those events are:

P(A)=P(B)=\frac{1}{6}

Each roll is independent from each other, then, the probability of both events happening simultaneously is given by their product:

P(A\:and\:B)=P(A)P(B)

Using the additive rule of probability, we have the following equation for our problem:

\begin{gathered} P(A\:or\:B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\:and\:B) \\ =P(A)+P(B)-P(A)P(B) \\ =\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{6^2} \\ =\frac{2}{6}-\frac{1}{36} \\ =\frac{12}{36}-\frac{1}{36} \\ =\frac{12-1}{36} \\ =\frac{11}{36} \end{gathered}

the probability that the red die shows a six or the green die shows a six is 11/36.

Devin's DVD case has 3 rows of slots, but 5 slots are broken.If x equals the number of slots in a row explain how the expression
Paul [167]

Answer:

The total number of unbroken / working slots

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Devin's DVD case has 3 rows of slots, but 5 slots are broken

Also given that the number of slots in a row is x

1 row has x slots

3 rows has y slots

on cross multiplication we get y = 3x

ie there are a total of 3x slots in the 3 rows

Given that out of these 3x slots 5 . of the slots are broken

Therefore the total number of working slots = total number of slots - number of slots which are broken

total number of working slots are = 3x - 5

Therefore the given expression is the number of working / good slots

Step-by-step explanation

When you subtract use keep change change

Rule 1 when you add : If the signs are the same add the numbers and take the sign of the bigger number.

Rule 2 when you add : If the signs are different subtract the numbers and take the sign of the bigger number.

I wanted to help you understand and i hope i did that!

Find the measurement parallelogram.<br> I need help please, thank you.<br> I need explanation
blondinia [14]

Answer:

2.) 145°

4.) 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

2.) First find the measure of Angle Y, since they are supplementary;

∠Z + ∠Y = 180

35 + ∠Y = 180

∠Y = 180 - 35

∠Y = 145°

So ∠X would be 145° as well

4.) First find the measure of Angle F, since they are supplementary;

∠C + ∠F = 180

130 + ∠F  = 180

∠F = 180 -130

∠F = 50°

So ∠E would be 50°

(I didn't explain it much in detail, since this question is similar to the previous that i answered :)

Hope this helps!
