An ordinary (fair) dle is a cube with the numbers 1 through 6 on the sides (represented by painted spots). Imagine that such a d

le is rolled twice in successionand that the face values of the two rolls are added together. This sum is recorded as the outcome of a single trial of a random experiment.Compute the probability of each of the following events.Event A: The sum is greater than 7.Event B: The sum is not divisible by 2.Write your answers as exact fractions.(a) P(A) = 0Da5?(b) P(B) = 1

In order for the sum to be greater than 7, there are a few possible combinations which are shown below:

\text{(2,6); (3,6); (6,2);(6,3).}

The probability for each individual dice to roll a certain number is:

p\text{ = }\frac{1}{6}

If we want both to roll an exact number we have:

p(2\text{ and 6) = }\frac{1}{6}\cdot\frac{1}{6}\text{ = }\frac{1}{36}

Any of the four probabilities can happen for our requirements to be met, therefore the total probability of at least one of them happening is the sum of all the probabilities:

p(\text{total) = }\frac{1}{36}\text{ + }\frac{1}{36}\text{ + }\frac{1}{36}\text{ + }\frac{1}{36}\text{ = }\frac{4}{36}\text{ = }\frac{1}{9}

For the sum of the dices to be not be divisible by 2, the result must be an odd number. The combinatios that could result in that are:

\begin{gathered} (1,\text{ 2), (1,4), (1, 6)} \\ (2,1),\text{ (2,3), (2,5)} \\ (3,2),\text{ (3,4), (3,6)} \\ (4,1),\text{ (4,3), (4,5)} \\ (5,2),\text{ (5,4), (5,6)} \\ (6,1),\text{ (6,3), (6,3)} \end{gathered}

Which gives us a total of 18 possibilities. Since the probability of each of this happening is equal to 1/36, then the total probability is given by 18 times that, which results in the below:

p(\text{total) = 18}\cdot\frac{1}{36}\text{ = }\frac{18}{36}\text{ = }\frac{1}{2}

The population of the united states is 280 million. If 2 out of 3 americans know who the vice president is, how many americans k
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

186,666,667 Americans know who the vice president is

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the number of USA citizens that know who the vice president is.

Now, in this question, we are made to know that the total population is set at 280 million with 2 out of three knowing who the vice president is.

What this means is that a fraction of the population at 2/3 knows who the vice president is

This fraction is equal to; 2/3 * 280,000,000 = 186,666,666.66666666

This is approximately equal to 186,666,667 people

What is 96/870 simplify into
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

9 and 3/435

Step-by-step explanation: you need to divide 870 by 96. For that you would get 9. Now multiply 96 by 9. You would get 864. Now subtract 870 by 864. Now you have 9 6/870. Simply that and you would get 9 3/435.
