Suzi starts her hike at 200 feet below sea level. When she reaches the end of the hike, she is still below sea level at −163 fee

Answer:
Suzi's elevation in the hike is 37 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Position of Suzi in the starting of hike = 200 feet below sea level
= -200 feet
The negative sign shows below sea level.
Position of Suzi in the end of hike = -163 feet
Change in elevation from the beginning of Suzi's hike to the end of the hike
= Position of Suzi in the end of hike - Position of Suzi in the starting of hike
Thus, Suzi's elevation in the hike is 37 feet.

Since the dice are fair and the rolling are independent, each single outcome has probability 1/15. Every time we choose
We have and
, because the dice are fair.
Now we use the assumption of independence to claim that
Now, we simply have to count in how many ways we can obtain every possible outcome for the sum. Consider the attached table: we can see that we can obtain:
- 2 in a unique way (1+1)
- 3 in two possible ways (1+2, 2+1)
- 4 in three possible ways
- 5 in three possible ways
- 6 in three possible ways
- 7 in two possible ways
- 8 in a unique way
This implies that the probabilities of the outcomes of are the number of possible ways divided by 15: we can obtain 2 and 8 with probability 1/15, 3 and 7 with probability 2/15, and 4, 5 and 6 with probabilities 3/15=1/5
