An integer may be a multiple of 3.
An integer may be 1 greater than a multiple of 3.
An integer may be 2 greater than a multiple of 3.

It is redundant to say an integer is 3 greater than a multiple of 3 (that's just a multiple of 3, we've got it covered).  Same for 4, 5, 6, 7...

Let's consider a number which is a multiple of 3.  Clearly, we can write 3+3+3+3+... until we reach the number.  It can be written as only 3's.

Let's consider a number which is 2 greater than a multiple of 3.  If we subtract 5 from that number, it'll be a multiple of 3.  That means we can write the number as 5+3+3+3+3+...  Of course, the number must be at least 8.

Let's consider a number which is 1 greater than a multiple of 3.  If we subtract 5 from that number, it'll be 2 greater than a multiple of 3.  If we subtract another 5, it'll be a multiple of 3.  That means we can write the number as 5+5+3+3+3+3+...  Of course, the number must be at least 13.

That's it.  We considered all the numbers.  We forgot 9, 10, 11, and 12, but these are easy peasy.

Beautiful question.

Your friend Albert has invented a game involving two ten-sided dice. One of the dice has threes, fours, and fives on its faces,
guapka [62]

Answer:

d. 11.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The results of the first die and the second one are independent to each other. The expected value of Z is obtained, therefore, by summing the expected values of both X and Y, because Z = X+Y and X and Y are independent. As a result \mu_z = \mu_x + \mu_y = 3.6+8.0 = 11.6 .
