Answer:
Your teacher messed up the question so just put the top right answer and ask your teacher if they did accidently miss-type.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing to do in this equation is look at the exponents. When multiplying a variable (or any number equal to itself with the same exponent) you only have to add the exponent. So for a, you would add the exponents to get 0, so a to the power of 0 is 1, because any number to the power of 0 is 1. For b, we would add the 3 and 1. (When no exponenet is present in a number then it is 1, so for this I added 3 and 1). So it would be 4. The correct answer is
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
