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 you use a number line to compare and order numbers?
miskamm [114]
The numbers going to the left on a number line means the values are smaller and the numbers going to the right means the values are bigger. 

Take the value '0' for example, the value on the right of zero is '1', which is a value bigger than zero, and the value to the left of '0' is '-1', which is a value smaller than zero.

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

P(X=3cars) = 0.052

P(X>3 cars) = 0.00638

Step-by-step explanation:

In total there are 7 cars per hour.

Using formulae for geometric Probability

P(X=3) = (7^3×e-7)/3! = 0.0521

P(X>3cars) = (7^2× e-7)/2! =

P(X>3) = 0.0128/2×1 =0.00638

Mia can purchase a 40-ounce jar of peanut Butter for $5.20 or a 15-ounce har for $2.70. How much does Mia save per ounce by usin
Reptile [31]
You save 5 cents per ounce by using the 40 ounce jar, because if you do $5.20 divided by 40 it equals $0.13 but if you do $2.70 divided by 15 it equals $0.18 which is 5 more cents the the 40 ounce

The given process is an example of a cluster system.

<h3>What is the cluster system?</h3>

The clustered systems are a combination of hardware clusters and software clusters.

The hardware clusters help in sharing of high-performance disks between the systems.

The software clusters makes all the systems work together.

Each node in the clustered systems contains the cluster software.

A cluster refers to a group of inter-connected computers where it works together to support applications and middleware (e.g. databases).

In a cluster, each & every computer is known to be a “node”.
