A pair of fair dice is rolled. Let E denote the event that the number falling uppermost on the first die is 2, and let F denote

the event that the sum of the numbers falling uppermost is 8. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
(a) Compute P(F).
(b) Compute P(E ∩ F).
(c) Compute P(F | E).
(d) Compute P(E).

First of all, note that there are 36 possible outcomes (all the numbers from 1 to 6 from the first die, combined with all the numbers from 1 to 6 from the second die).

a. Out of these 36 outcomes, the only ways to get 8 as sum are: (2, 6), (3, 5), (4, 4), (5, 3), (6, 2). There are 5 favourable cases over 36 possible cases, so the probability is 5/36.

b. We want to get 8 as sum, and the first die must be a 2. Out of the five pairs we got before, only the first satisfies this request, so the probability is 1/36

c. Knowing that the first die was a 2, we have 6 possible outcomes:

The second die rolls a 1, for a total of 3.

The second die rolls a 2, for a total of 4.

The second die rolls a 3, for a total of 5.

The second die rolls a 4, for a total of 6.

The second die rolls a 5, for a total of 7.

The second die rolls a 6, for a total of 8.

So, there is 1 favourable outcome out of 6 possible outcomes, so the probability is 1/6

d. The die is fair, so every number occurs with probability 1/6.

5x-4y=-18 what is the three point on a graph for this equation
Tju [1.3M]
(1)Draw the "y" line . It goes up and down. 
<span>Make sure to mark the centimeters or quarter inches with little nobs. </span>
<span>Start at -20 and go to 10 </span>
<span>(2)Draw the "x" line. it goes side to side. </span>
<span>place the x line at the zero point of the y line. I'm sure you will see your paper looks like the letter "t". Perfectly at a right angle. you could use the corner of a book to square it. </span>

<span>Now for the maths 5x - 4y = -18. The most important symbol here is the "=" sign. </span>
<span>(3) rearrange the equation so that y is on one side of "=" and x is on the other side. </span>
<span>Remember if you add 10 to one side the of "=" , then for it to be equal, add 10 to the other. side also </span>
<span>so add 4y to both sides. add 18 to both sides . divide the whole of each side by 4. </span>
<span>5x - 4y + 4y + 18 = -18 + 4y + 18 </span>
<span>1.25x + 4.5 = y </span>
<span>(4) now write down on a peace of scrap paper, x=1, y= 5.75, x=2 y= ___ , x=3 y= ___ </span>
<span>(5) remember BEDMAS, and put 1 in the place of x and calculate what y is . </span>
<span>(6) get your ruler , line up x = 1 (ruler is going up and down) and draw a spot on what y = . Get two rulers if you must. </span>
<span>(7) </span>
<span>hey presto, you got your three points on a graph.</span>
