Answer:

Each dice has six combinations which are independent. Therefore the number of possible outcomes will be 6*6 = 36. The probability of rolling a pair of dice whose numbers add to 5 is 4/36 = 1/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the odds of these two numbers coming up at the same time, you multiply the odds of one times the odds of the other. 5/6 × 1/6 = 5/36. So the odds that you'll roll 2 dice total six are 5/36 each time you roll ( or approximately 1 chance in 7).

$\bf slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ f(x_2)}}-{{ f(x_1)}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\impliedby

Answer:

I wasnt able to put my answer to your current question after this so ill put my response here. If the answer was the first box then the other pair would be the third one. If the second box was the answer then the other pair would be the last one. This is a tough one indeed when you forgot how to do this lol. But based from my knowledge I would go with the 2nd and last one.
