What you want is P(6∩1) or P(1∩6) or P(2∩5) or P(5∩2) or P(3∩4) or P(4∩3).
The events of rolling the dice are independent (i.e. they don't affect one another) so:
E.g.
P(6∩1) = P(6) * P(1)
P(2∩5) = P(2) *  P(5)
The probability of getting a given number on a roll is 1/6 for both dice.
So:
P(6∩1) = 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36
This is the same for any arrangement of numbers you could get from rolling two dice.
So, we can see that there are 6 arrangements of numbers that will give a sum of 7 and so that is 6 * 1/36 = 6/36 = 1/6

Answer:

f(2) = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

plug in 2 to wherever x is in this statement:

f(2) = -2(2^2) - 2(2) + 10

f(2) = -2(4) - 4 + 10

f(2) = -8 - 4 + 10

f(2) = -2

What is the solution of -2x = -16
Vilka [71]
Divide both sides by -2

two negatives make a positive and that's true so x = 16/2 so divide it

x = 8 because 2 x 8 = 16 and 2/16 = 8 so true.

Answer: x = 8.

Death Valley has an altitude that is below sea level. Which situation describes a hiker in Death Valley who hikes until he reach
Firdavs [7]

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of it logically: A and C are not below sea level so you can cross them out. And B doesn't work because if you decrease -10 by 10 you get -20. So, D is correct.
