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}.

How can I convert a fraction into a decimal and a decimal into a fraction?

Find a number you can multiply by the bottom of the fraction to make it 10, 100, or 1000 and multiple both top and bottom by that number then write down just the top number putting the decimal point in the correct spot.

Find the value of x
Veronika [31]

Answer:

x =147

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles is = 360 -(2x+1) ( since it will make a full circle)

42+(-124+x) =360-(2x+1)

Combine like terms

x-82 =359-2x

Add 2x to each side

x-82+2x = 359

3x -82 = 359

Add 82 to each side

3x-82+82 = 359+82

3x = 441

Divide by 3

3x/3=441/3

x =441/3  or 147

Which is the correct answer?
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

I'm not sure but I think it is letter A

Step-by-step explanation:

Because first off 0 is divisible by any integer number meaning it has to be divide by a whole number not fraction. Also, 0 + 2 = 2 then you divide that by 4 is 0.5.
