An ordinary (fair) die is a cube with the numbers 1 through 6 on the sides (represented by painted spots). Imagine that such a d

ie is rolled twice in succession and that the face values of the two rolls are added together. This sum is recorded as the outcome of a single trial of a random experiment.
Compute the probability of each of the following events.
Event A: The sum is greater than 5.
Event B: The sum is an even number.
Write your answers as exact fractions.

Answer:

The probability of event <em>A</em> is \frac{7}{11}.

The probability of event <em>B</em> is \frac{6}{11}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space of rolling a fair six-sided dice is as follows:

S = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)

      (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)

      (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)

      (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6)

      (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6)

      (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}

Now consider the experiment of the computing the sum of the two rolls as follows:

X = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}

Number of total outcomes, <em>N</em> = 11.

The probability of an event <em>E</em> is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{N}

The event <em>A</em> is defined as the sum is greater than 5.

The sample space of <em>A</em> is:

A = {6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}

n (A) = 7

Compute the probability of event <em>A</em> as follows:

P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{N}=\frac{7}{11}

Thus, the probability of event <em>A</em> is \frac{7}{11}.

The event <em>B</em> is defined as the sum is an even number.

The sample space of <em>B</em> is:

B = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12}

n (B) = 6

Compute the probability of event <em>B</em> as follows:

P(B)=\frac{n(B)}{N}=\frac{6}{11}

Thus, the probability of event <em>B</em> is \frac{6}{11}.

1,Justin rides his bicycle 2.5 kilometers to school. Luke walks 1,950 meters to school.How much farther does Justin ride to scho
kirill [66]
1. A. 550 meters.
this is because 2.5 km = 2500 meters, since there are 1000 meters in one kilometer.
therefore, 2500 - 1950 = 550 meters.
2. B. 126 inches.
this is because there are 12 inches in one foot, so we multiply 12 by 10 since there are 10 full feet. this leaves us with 120. then, we add half a foot, which is 6 inches. therefore, it is 126 :)

How many times does the diameter go around a circle?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The circumference of a circle is approximately three times its diameter. If you divide the circumference by its diameter, the constant ratio is called Pi, which is an irrational number shown with this symbol: For example, the circle below has a radius of 4.5 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps!
