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

Find the indefinite integral. (Use C for the constant of integration.)
mart [117]

Answer:

\int\ {(3x^2-2x+1)\,(x^3-x^2+x)^7} \, dx = \frac{1}{8} (x^3-x^2+x)^8+C

tep-by-step explanation:

In order to find the integral:

\int\ {(3x^2-2x+1)\,(x^3-x^2+x)^7} \, dx

we can do the following substitution:

Let's call

u=(x^3-x^2+x)

Then

du = (3x^2-2x+1) dx

which allows us to do convert the original integral into a much simpler one of easy solution:

\int\ {(3x^2-2x+1)\,(x^3-x^2+x)^7} \, dx  = \int\ {u^7 \, du = \frac{1}{8} \,u^8 +C

Therefore, our integral written in terms of "x" would be:

\int\ {(3x^2-2x+1)\,(x^3-x^2+x)^7} \, dx = \frac{1}{8} (x^3-x^2+x)^8+C
