a six sided die is rolled 4 times in a row. What is the probability of getting 4 only on the last trial of this experiment?
1 answer:
First, start of by saying what the probability of getting a 4 is, which is 1/6.
Now, this means the probability of not getting a 4 is 1-(1/6)=(5/6), since the total probability is 1.
After doing this, you should think about what it means to only get 4 on the last trial, the 4th trial. It means that the probabilities of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd trial were (5/6) each. The 4th trial had a probability of (1/6). So the probability would be calculated as following: (
=
. You can use a calculator or your computer to find out that the probability is 125/1296.

Hey there :)
To find the slope with <em>two points</em> we will need to use the equation
( 3 , -20 ) ( 5 , 8 )
Here is what the equation should look like when replaced with the numbers (<em>it will be a fraction</em>) :
We know that <em>two negatives</em> cancel out and make a positive, so the numerator would actually be 8 + 20.
Solve the fraction and we get
28 <em>divided</em> by 2 is 14. The slope is 14.
