Answer:

A) P(10 on three rolls) = 1/1728 = 0.0005787

B) P(10 in two of three rolls) = 11/1728 = 0.0063657

Step-by-step explanation:

Each die has 6 possible values, so a pair of dice have a total of 6*6=36 outcomes.

To find a sum of 10, the cases are:

(4,6), (5,5) and (6,4).

So to have a sum of 10 we have 3 cases among the 36 possible, therefore the probability is:

P(10) = 3/36 = 1/12

A)

If we want the sum of 10 in each of the three rolls, the probability is:

P(10 on three rolls) = P(10)^3 = (1/12)^3 = 1/1728 = 0.0005787

B)

If the sum is 10 in two of three rolls, in one roll we need the probability of the sum not being 10:

P(not 10) = 1 - P(10) = 1 - (1/12) = 11/12

So we have:

P(10 in two of three rolls) = P(10)^2 * P(not 10) = (1/12)^2 * (11/12)

P(10 in two of three rolls) = 11/1728 = 0.0063657

What is 2/3 times 7 wholes
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
2/3 times 7 wholes is the same was 7 because 1 whole is 1.
What would you do it multiply the numerator and numerator so the would be 2x7. Then we would multiply the denominators. 3x1=1. Therefore the answer is 14/3.
