By definition of conditional probability,

P(sum is 5 | sum is not 6) = P(sum is 5 AND sum is not 6) / P(sum is not 6)

There are 4 ways of rolling the dice to get a sum of 5 out of 36 possible outcomes:

(1, 4), (2, 3), (3, 2), (4, 1)

so P(sum is 5) = 4/36 = 1/9.

There are 5 ways of getting a sum of 6 out of 36 possible outcomes:

(1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 3), (4, 2), (5, 1)

hence 31 ways of *not* getting a sum of 6, so P(sum is not 6) = 31/36.

The sum is 5 and *not* 6 simultaneously for the 4 ways already listed above, so the intersection of these two events is those 4 ways, which means

P(sum is 5 AND sum is not 6) = 1/9

Then

P(sum is 5 | sum is not 6) = (1/9) / (31/36) = 4/31

Convert 55°44'33" to decimal degree form. Round your answer to four decimal places.​
Andreyy89

Answer:

55,7425

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 60 minutes in one degree and 3600 seconds in one degree, the formula is:

Decimal degrees = Degrees + (Minutes/60) + (Seconds/3600)

Here Degrees stay the same 55;

44' = 44/60 ≈ 0,733...

33" = 33/3600  ≈ 0,009166...

I've divided and added those three numbers by calculator in one operation and it shows exactly 55,7425. If you add them separately, you'll need to round the result.

John is a quarterback. This year, he completed 350350350 passes, which is 70\%70%70, percent of all the passes he's attempted th
-Dominant- [34]

let 'x' represent the number of all the passes for the year

350 passes = 70% of all the passes

350 passes = 70% of x

0.70x = 350

by solving we find:

x = 500 passes

Question 5^ Need help ... ASAP ... your help is really appreciated ...
goblinko [34]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

I think we had a question similar to this before. Again, let's figure out the vertical and horizontal distances figured out. The distance from C at x=8 to D at x=-5 is 13 units while the distance from C at y=-2 to D at y=9 is 11 units. (8+5=13 and 2+9=11, even though some numbers are negative, we're looking at their value in those calculations)

Next, we have to divide each distance by 4 so we can apply it to the ratio. 13/4=\frac{13}{4} and 11/4=\frac{11}{4}. Next, we need to read the question carefully. It's asking us to place the point in the ratio <em>3</em> to <em>1</em> from <em>C</em> to <em>D</em>. The point has to be closer to endpoint D because of this. Let's take each of our fractions, multiply them by 3, then add them towards the direction of endpoint D to get our answer (sorry if that sounds confusing):

\frac{13}{4}*3 = \frac{39}{4}\\ 8-\frac{39}{4} =  \frac{-7}{4}\\\frac{11}{4}*3 = \frac{33}{4}  \\-2+\frac{33}{4} = \frac{25}{4}

Therefore, our point that partitions CD into a 3:1 ratio is (\frac{-7}{4}, \frac{25}{4}).

I'm not sure if there was more to #5 judging by how part B was cut off. From what I can understand of part B, however, I believe that Beatriz started from endpoint D and moved towards C, the wrong direction. She found the coordinates for a 1:3 ratio point.

Also, for #6, since a square is a 2-dimensional object, the answer needs to be written showing that. The answer for #6 is 9 units^2.
