A die is rolled twice. what is the probability of showing a 3 on both rolls?

1 answer:

6 0

The probability of showing a 3 on the first roll is 1/6.
The probability of showing a 3 on the second roll is 1/6.

Because the two rolls are independent events, the probability of showing a 3 on both rolls is
(1/6)*(1/6) = 1/36

Answer: 1/36

Solve using the quadratic formula: 2n^2= 6n - 2

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

$n_1=(3 + 1\sqrt{5} )/2\\\\n_2=(3 - 1\sqrt{5} )/2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2n^2= 6n - 2\\\\2n^2-6n+2=0\\\\a=2\\\\b=-6\\\\c=2$

$n=(-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} )/2a\\\\n=(-(-6) \pm \sqrt{(-6)^2-4(2)(2)} )/2(2)\\\\n=(6 \pm \sqrt{36-16} )/4\\\\n=(6 \pm \sqrt{20} )/4\\\\n=(6 \pm 2\sqrt{5} )/4\\\\n=(3 \pm 1\sqrt{5} )/2\\\\n_1=(3 + 1\sqrt{5} )/2\\\\n_2=(3 - 1\sqrt{5} )/2$
