8 0

Answer:

Brenda

Step-by-step explanation:

You can divide the number of pages by the number of minutes to find the amount of minutes it takes to read 1 page. For Arnold, 3 pages / 7 minutes = 1 page per approximately 0.43 minutes. For Brenda, 8 pages / 14 minutes = 1 page per approximately 0.57 minutes. Brenda reads slightly faster since 0.57 > 0.43

List all your possibility of outcomes (there are 36 outcomes) if you roll a dice containing numbers 1-6 two times. Determine the

Talja [164]

Check the table attached.

The first coordinates of each pair represent the 1.roll, and the second coordinates the 2nd, roll.

All the possible outcomes are {(1, 1), (1, 2).... (6, 5), (6, 6)}, a total of 36, as can be seen in the table.

Each outcome has a chance of 1 out 36 total possible outcomes of occurring.

So the probability is 1/36=0.02778
