What is the probability of rolling a sum of 3 on a standard pair of six-sided dice?

To solve this problem, let us recall that the formula for probability is:

Probability = total number of successful events / total events

 

Where in this case, an event is considered to be successful if the sum is 3 on the pair of six sided dice.

 

First, let us calculate for the total number of events. There are 6 numbers per dice, therefore the total number of combinations is:

total events = 6 * 6 = 36

 

Next, we calculate for the total number of combinations that result in a sum of 3. We can identify that there are only two cases that result in sum of 3. That is:

1st case: first dice rolls 1, second dice rolls 2

2nd case: first dice rolls 2, second dice rolls 1

 

Hence, total number of successful events = 2. Therefore the probability is:

Probability = 2 / 36 = 1 / 18 = 0.0556 = 5.56%

Answer:

89 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We know it's 9 + "the height of the triangle".

Fortunately, the height of the triangle (let's call it y) can be computed from:

y^2 + 18^2 = 82^2 (Pythagoras theorem).

y^2 = 82^2 - 18^2 = 6724 - 324 = 6400

y = 80 (or y = -80 but it doesn't make sense in geometry).

so x = y + 9 = 89;

Work out the lengh of RS <br> gue your answer to 3 significant figures
atroni [7]

Answer:

RS ≈ 5.83 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate RS using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = R(- 3, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = S(2, 4)

RS = \sqrt{(2+3)^2+(4-1)^2}

     = \sqrt{5^2+3^2}

     = \sqrt{25+9}

     = \sqrt{34} ≈ 5.83 ( to 3 significant figures )
