The probability that the cube never lands on 3 is (D) 23.3%.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>
  • A probability formula can be used to calculate the likelihood of an occurrence by simply dividing the favorable number of possibilities by the entire number of possible outcomes.

To find the probability that the cube never lands on 3:

Given -

  • Number cube toss = 8

Required

  • Probability of not landing on 3.

First, we need to get the probability of landing on 3 in a single toss.

For a number cube,

  • n(3) = 1 and n(total) = 6

So, the probability is P(3) = 1/6

First, we need to get the probability of not landing on 3 in a single toss.

Opposite probability = 1.

  • So, P(3) = P(3') = 1.

Make P(3') the subject of the formula.

  • P(3') = 1 - P(3)
  • P(3') = 1 - 1/6
  • P(3') = 5/6

In 8 toss, the required probability is (P(3'))⁸

This gives:

  • P = (5/6)⁸
  • P = 390625/1679616
  • P = 0.23256803936

Approximate to 1 decimal place, P = 23.3%.

Therefore, the probability that the cube never lands on 3 is (D) 23.3%.

Raymond has two seven foot long boards, and wants to cut fifteen inch long peices from each; what is the greatest number of peic
anastassius [24]

7ft = 84in   84  ÷  15 =  5.6 pieces he can cut from each board.  Since .6 is not a whole piece measuring 15 inches long, he can only cut 5 pieces from each board.

So, 5 x 2 = 10

He would be able to cut 10 pieces measuring 15 inches long.

Hope this helps :)

-x = -6 <br> please help me
Rasek [7]

Answer:

The answer would be positive 6

Step-by-step explanation:

I know it is -6 because when you solve this you do...

-x = -6

Divide both sides by -6

-x/-6 = -6/-6

the answer would be 6

because a negative divided by a negative is a positive.

Hope this helps have a great day! :)
