The correct answer is -1/3.
Answer:
2/9
Step-by-step explanation:
given that Tyler selects one card from the three(4,5, and a King), and rolls a number cube.
We find that A the event of selecting one card and B getting a number on rolling a number cube are independent events.
No of cards = 3
Prob of selecting 5 from 3 cards = 
When rolling a number cube (assuming fair) there is equally likely for all numbers to appear from 1 to 6
Prob of getting 5 =
Prob of getting less than 5 =
Since these two events are independent,
the probability that she selects the 5, and rolls a number less than 5
= Product of probabilities
=
*
=
a(x+1)(x-1)+b(x-2)(x+1)+(x+1)^2=9x^2-x-10
(x+1)(a(x-1)+b(x-2)+(x+1))=(x+1)(9x-10)
a(x-1)+b(x-2)+x+1=9x-10
Now this equation is much simpler!
(a+b)x-a-2b+x+1=9x-10
(a+b)x-a-2b=8x-11
(a+b-8)x-a-2b-11=0
a+b-8=(a+2b-11)/x
I can't solve it 3 variables and 1 equations means infinite answers so yea.
To convert to a decimal, divide by 100.
75 / 100 = .75
