A six-sided dice is rolled twice. Find the probability that the larger of the two rolls was equal to 5.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

The probability that the larger of the two rolls was equal to 5 is; 2/9

<h3>Probability of possible outcomes</h3>

The total number of possible outcomes when the dice is rolled twice is 36 outcomes.

Now, for the larger of the two rolls to equal 5, the total number of favourable outcomes are 8 which are;

(1, 5), (2, 5), (3, 5), (4, 5), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5,4)

Thus, probability that the larger of the two rolls was equal to 5 is;

P(larger of 2 rolls equals 5) = 8/36 = 2/9

A video rental store keeps a list of their top 15 movie rentals each week. This week the list includes 6 action, 4 comedies, 3 d

azamat

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probability = Expected outcome of event/Total outcome.

If a video rental store keeps a list of their top 15 movie rentals each week, the total outcome is 15.

If the list for the week includes 6 action, 4 comedies, 3 dramas, and 2 mysteries and the store manager removes a copy of each of the 15 movies from the shelf, then randomly selects 3 of the 15 to show on the display monitors in the store, the probability that she selected 2 comedies and 1 action movie will be calculated as shown;

Probability of selecting 2 comedies = 4/15*4/15 = 16/225 (Note that the expected outcome in this case is 4).

Probability of selecting 1 action movie = 6/15 = 2/5

<em>Hence, the probability that she selected 2 comedies and 1 action movie will be equivalent to 16/225*2/5 = 32/1125</em>

<em>Note that the rented movies will have to be returned hence reason for the replacement. </em>

5.818, 5 9/25, 53/10, 5.81 from least to greatest. THanKs :)

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

53/10, 5 9/25 ; 5.81 ; 5.818

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution we need to make some calculations:

53/10 = 5.3

5 9/25 = 5.36

So we have that the solution is:

53/10, 5 9/25 ; 5.81 ; 5.818
