Answer:

\dfrac{5}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

When two dice are rolled, the sample space is

\begin{array}{cccccc}(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)\end{array}

In total, 36 outcomes

First, find the probability that the sum is 10 or greater:

All favorable outcomes

10: (4,6),\ (5,5),\ (6,4)

11: (5,6),\ (6,5)

12: (6,6)

In total, 6 outcomes.

The probability that the sum is 10 or greater is

P(A)=\dfrac{6}{36}=\dfrac{1}{6}

Use the complement rule to find that the probability that the sum of the dice is less than 10:

P(A^C)=1-P(A)=1-\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{5}{6}

mr_godi [17]
First let's define the variables of the problem:
 t: Tip
 b: dinner bill.
 We write the inequality based on the following proposition:
 "Maria would like to leave a tip (t) of at least 15% of her dinner bill (b)"
 We have then that the inequation is:
 t> = 0.15b
 Answer:
 An inequality best could be used to find the amount of the tip Maria would like to leave is:
 
t> = 0.15b

Eight hot dogs and seven hot dog rolls cost $\$13.60$. Seven hot dogs and eight hot dog rolls cost $\$13.40$. How much, in dolla
Maru [420]

Answer:

$1.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a hot dog = x

The cost of a hot dog roll = y

Eight hot dogs and seven hot dog rolls cost $\$13.60$.

8x + 7x = $13.60..... Equation 1

Seven hot dogs and eight hot dog rolls cost $\$13.40$.

7x + 8x = $13.40...... Equation 2

Combining both Equation

8x + 7x = $13.60..... Equation 1

7x + 8x = $13.40...... Equation 2

Eliminating x

Multiply 1 by 7

Multiply 2 by 8

56x + 49y = 95.2..... Equation 3

56x + 64y = 107.2 ..... Equation 4

Subtracting 4 from 3

-15y = -12

y = -12/-15

y = 0.8

Cost of one hot dog roll = $0.8

Solving for x

8x + 7x = $13.60

8x + 7(0.8) = 13.60

8x + 5.6 = 13.60

8x = 13.60 - 5.60

8x = 8.0

x = 8.0/8

x = 1.

Cost of one hot dog = $1.0

The cost in dollars of a hot dog and a hot dog roll cost combined is

x + y

= $1 + $0.8

= $1.80
