An experiment consist of rolling 3 fair dice (1 red die, a blue die, and a white die) and recording the number rolled on each di

e. Assume that the dice are fair, so that all outcomes are equally likely.
1. What probability should be assigned to each outcome?
2. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers rolled is 6?
3. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers rolled is at most 5?

In 1, t<span>here are 6 outcomes for each die, so for three dice, the total combination is 6 x 6 x 6 = 216 outcomes. Hence, t</span><span>he probability of any individual outcome is 1/216 </span>

The outcomes that will add up to 6 are 
<span>1+1+4 </span>
<span>1+4+1 </span>
<span>4+1+1 </span>
<span>1+2+3 </span>
<span>1+3+2 </span>
<span>2+1+3 </span>
<span>2+3+1 </span>
<span>3+1+2 </span>
<span>3+2+1 </span>
<span>2+2+2 </span>

<span>Hence the probability is </span><span>10/216 </span>

In 3, the minimum sum of the three dice is 3. so we start with this 
<span>P(n = 3) </span>
<span>1+1+1 ; </span><span>1/216 </span>

<span>P(n = 4) </span>
<span>1+1+2 </span>
<span>1+2+1 </span>
<span>2+1+1 ; </span><span>3/216 </span>

<span>P(n = 5) </span>
<span>1+1+3 </span>
<span>1+3+1 </span>
<span>3+1+1 </span>
<span>1+2+2 </span>
<span>2+1+2 </span>
<span>2+2+1; </span><span>6/216 

The sum in 3 is 10/216 or 5/108</span>

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

B. Y²⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

For perfect cubes, the exponents are a multiple of three. If yᵃ is a perfect cube, then a/3=k where k is a whole number.

Among the provided choices, the exponent of y²⁴ is divisible by 3.

24/3 = 8.

Thus y²⁴ is a perfect cube.
