Answer:
The theoretical probability that the first number is even and the second number is odd is .
Step-by-step explanation:
Since each dice has six sides, and there are two die, the total amount of different outcomes are or 36. The probability of getting an even number on the first roll is
or
, and the probability of getting an odd number on the second roll is also
or
, so the probability of getting an even number on the first roll and an odd number on the second roll is
.
Answer:
Eli has saved $10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us use the first letters of their names to represent them.
A for Angela and E for ELi
So, from the first statement, we can write out an equation: E = A + 8, that is, <em>one-third of Angela's savings + $8 will give us Eli's savings</em>
From the second statement, we can write out: E + 10 = (A + 10) + 4 which means that <em>if $10 is added to both their savings, Eli will still have $4 more than Angela.</em>
So, we can solve both equations;
Equation 1: E = A + 8
Equation 2: E + 10 = (A + 10) + 4; which can be rewritten as E + 10 = A + 14
and then E = A + 4
The two equations (in bold), can then be solved simultaneously.
Let us carry out this operation to <u>eliminate the E:</u> Subtract equation 1 from equation 2, so that;
A + 4 - ( A + 8) = E - E
A - 4 = 0
A = 4
A = 4 × = 6
So, if A is 6, and E = A + 4 (from equation 2, that means that E = 6 + 4 = 10
So, Eli has saved $10, while Angela has saved $6.
If we check what was said in the question about their savings, which is what we have represented using the equations, the answers can be confirmed.
