Let x be the greater number.

x+(x-2)=44

2x-2=44

2x=46

x=23.

Therefore, the greater of the two is 23.

Simora [160]

ANSWER

EXPLANATION

For each of the three events, there are 8 possible outcomes, so the probability of each event is,

$P(event)=\frac{favorable\text{ }outcomes}{possible\text{ }outcomes}=\frac{favorable\text{ }outcomes}{8}$

• Event A:, there must be only odd numbers in the last two rolls, which are either ,EOO or OOO,. This event has 2 favorable outcomes, ,so its probability is 1/4,.

• Event B,: this is the complementary event to event A. Here the last two rolls must be even numbers - both or only one of the last two: ,OOE, EEO, EOE, OEE, EEE, OEO,. This event has 6 favorable outcomes, so ,its probability is 3/4,.

• Event C,: this event is when the first and last rolls are even numbers in the same event. This is either ,EOE or EEE,. Since this event has 2 favorable outcomes, ,its probability is 1/4,.
