(Essay Question 7 Points)

Mathematics

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 ?

Can someone please write an equation to model this scenario which relates to the first two questions. I need it ASAP!
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

y = 50x + 200

Step-by-step explanation:

the 200 is the y intercept because it is where his pay starts, so even if Matt doesnt make any sales he will still get 200 that week

the slope (50) is determined because that is what will change

if he makes 2 sales he will make 100 + 200 that week, and if he makes 4 sales he will make 200 + 200 that week and so on
