(Essay Question 7 Points)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Irina18 [472]3 years ago

Well I don't know.
Let's think about it:

-- There are 6 possibilities for each role.
    So 36 possibilities for 2 rolls.
    Doesn't take us anywhere.

New direction:
-- If the first roll is odd, then you need another odd on the second one.
-- If the first roll is even, then you need another even on the second one.
This may be the key, right here !

-- The die has 3 odds and 3 evens.

-- Probability of an odd followed by another odd = (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4
-- Probability of an even followed by another even = (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4

I'm sure this is it.  I'm a little shaky on how to combine those 2 probs.

Ah hah ! 
Try this:

Probability of either 1 sequence or the other one is (1/4) + (1/4) = 1/2 .

That means ... Regardless of what the first roll is, the probability of
the second roll matching it in oddness or evenness is 1/2 .

So the probability of 2 rolls that sum to an even number is 1/2 = 50% .

Is this reasonable, or sleazy ?

Which number is irrational?<br> -4<br> 2/9<br> 8.26<br> 11
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

None of them are irrational.

Step-by-step explanation:

An Irrational Number is a real number that cannot be written as a simple fraction.

Therefore:

-4 can be written as -4/1

2/9 is already in fraction

8.26 can be written as 826/100

11 can be written as 11/1

None of them are irrational.

However numbers like  \sqrt{x}, \pi are irrational as they can not be represented as fractions.

May someone help me with 2-9? Please?
mylen [45]

2. Each side of a pentagon is the same size.

4cm x 5 = 20cm or 4cm+4cm+4cm+4cm+4cm = 20cm

3. Each side of a square is the same size.

13yd x 4 = 52yd or 13yd+13yd+13yd+13yd = 52yd

4. Add all sides together.

12m+12m+30m+30m = 84m

5. Again add all sides together.

16yd+16yd+4yd+4yd = 40yd

6. Each side of a square is the same size.

7in x 4 = 28in. or 7in+7in+7in+7in = 28in

7. Add all sides together.

2cm+2cm+3cm+3cm = 10cm

8. Each side of a rhombus is the same size. A rhombus has 4 sides.

23in x 4 = 92in or 23in+23in+23in+23in = 92in

9. A regular octagon has 8 sides and each side is the same size.

9cm x 8 = 72cm
