The equation given in the question has to be answered to the nearest tenth. The only thing that one should be careful about is the cross multiplication part. Other than that there is no difficulty in the given problem. Now let us get down to the equation in the question. 15/30 = n/34 30 * n = 15 * 34 30n = 510 n = 510/30 = 51/3 = 17 So the value of the unknown variable "n" comes out to be 17.
P(not 5) =5/6 and P(5) = 1/6 If the first 5 is rolled on the 5th roll then the first four rolls were not 5 P(5 on fifth roll) = 5/6 x 5/6 x 5/6 x 5/6 x 1/6 = 5^4/6^5 = 625/7776 = 0.080375...
