Answer:

a) \frac{5}{6}

b) \frac{1}{6}

c) \frac{1}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Total possible outcomes when a dice is rolled twice

(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)

here total number of possible outcomes is 36

now,

P (Event ) = \frac{\textup{Number of favorable outcomes of an Event}}{\textup{Total possible outcomes}}  

a) P( die shows a different number on each toss )

Favorable outcomes = (1,2) , (1,3) , (1,4) , (1,5) , (1,6) , (2,1) , (2,3) , (2,4) , (2,5) , (2,6), (3,1) , (3,2) ,  (3,4) , (3,5) , (3,6) , (4,1) , (4,2) , (4,3) ,  (4,5) , (4,6) , (5,1) , (5,2) , (5,3) , (5,4) ,  (5,6) , (6,1) , (6,2) , (6,3) , (6,4) , (6,5)

number of Favorable outcomes = 30

thus,

P( die shows a different number on each toss ) = \frac{30}{36}=\frac{5}{6}

b) P( The sum of the dots showing is greater than or equal to 10 )

Favorable outcomes = (4,6) , (5,5) , (5,6) , (6,4) , (6,5) , (6,6)

number of Favorable outcomes = 6

P( The sum of the dots showing is greater than or equal to 10 )

= \frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}

c) P(  total score is less than 4 )

Favorable outcomes = (1,1) , (1,2) , (1,3) , (2,1)

number of Favorable outcomes = 4

P(  total score is less than 4 ) = \frac{4}{36}=\frac{1}{9}

Hoochie [10]

The overall volume is the sum of the volume of a cylinder of height 5'9" and diameter 3'6", and a sphere of diameter 3'6" (two hemispheres = full sphere).

Volume of the cylinder = (area of the base) x (height) = pi * (diameter/2)^2 * 5.75ft = 3.1415 * (3.5ft/2)^2 * 5.75 ft = 55.32 ft^3

Volume of the sphere = 4/3 * pi * (3.5ft)^3 / 8 = 22.45 ft^3

Total volume = (Volume of cylinder) + (Volume of sphere) = (55.32 + 22.45) ft^3 = 77.77 ft^3

Aneli [31]
Add 3 1/2 and 2 1/3, 

Firstly, find the common denominator. It is is 6

3 3/6 + 2 2/6

this gets you 5 5/6.

Take this away from 8:

8 - 5 5/6 = 2 1/6

So 2 1/6 of the board is left over.
