If the first roll is a 4, the possibilities to add less than 8 are that the second cube roll is 1, 2 or 3.

These are 3 different events out of 6 possilbe ones, which is 3 / 6 = 1 / 2; i.e. half of times.

Then the answer is the first option: 1 / 2

Answer:  The correct option is (a) one over two.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Jack rolls a number cube twice. We are to find the probability that the sum of the 2 rolls is less than 8 given that he first roll is a 4.

A cube rolls 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. So, the sample space will be

S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

That is, n(S) = 6.

Since the first roll is a 4, so the options for the second roll are 1, 2 and 3 so that the sum is less than 8.

Therefore, if 'A' is the event that the sum is less than 4, then

A = {1, 2, 3}.

That is, n(A) = 3.

So, the probability of happening of event A is given by

P(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{3}{6}=\dfrac{1}{2}.

Thus, the required probability is one over half.

Option (a) is correct.

The graph of F(x) shown below resembles the graph of G(x) = x ^ 2 but it has been changed somewhat . Which of the following coul
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

f(x) = 3x^{2} + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given G(x) = x^{2}

As we can see, the graph of f(x) is 2 units above the graphof g(x) in vertical (vertical shift)

=> f(x) = ax^{2} + 2

As you can see, the graph of f(x) is stretched vertically by a dilation factor of 3

and there is no reflection, so a= 3

=> the  equation of f(x) is:  f(x) = 3x^{2} + 2

A group of friends went fishing. They each caught 20 fish but not all of them were keepers. Which person was able to keep 3/5 of
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Those who were able to keep 12 fishes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total = 20 (each)

Required

Which was able to keep 3/5

First, we need to calculate 3/5 of the total number of fishes

Fish = 3/5 * 20

Fish = (3 * 20)/5

Fish = 60/5

Fish = 12

From the calculation above, only those who keep 12 of the 20 fishes were able to keep 3/5 of their fishes

inna [77]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  x⁴ + 4x³ + 8x² + 8x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(x² + 2x - 1)(x² + 2x + 5) = x⁴ + 2x³ + 5x² + 2x³ + 4x² + 10x - x² - 2x - 5

                                       = x⁴ + 4x³ + 8x² + 8x - 5
