Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Six dice (each of a different color) are rolled. Since the number of times the 6 dice were rolled isn't stated, take it to be 1.

Hence, 6 dice are rolled at once for this experiment.

Of interest is the number of dice that show a "one". In other words, the variable in question (X) is:

The number of dots that show on the upward face of the rolled dice.

The values that X may take on are:

1  2  3  4  5  6

On average, how many dice would you expect to show a one?

One die.

How is this gotten? By finding the probability that a one or one dot appears when the 6 dice are rolled at once. Since there are 6 dice in number, and each die has the same 6 faces containing dots, the probability of getting a one is 1/6. In this case, one out of 6 dice is expected to show one dot.

Find the probability that all six dice show a dot in just one toss.

Logically, this probability is going to be very small! It is almost impossible for all 6 dice to land on the same face in just a single toss. In other words, expect many decimal places in the probability figure.

1/6 divided by 6  = 0.167/6  = 0.028 approximated to three decimal places.

This would also represent the probability that 2 dots, 3 dots, or any other number of dots appears on all dice in one toss!

Is it more likely (in this experiment) that 3 or 4 dice will show a one (a single dot)?

The answer is yes! It is more likely that 3 or 4 dice (instead of all 6) will show a one or will show the same number of dots.

Kudos!

At D.J.s Drink stand Erika ordered a cup of fruit punch made using 1/4 cup of lemonade 1/12 cup of cranberry juice. What fractio
Zepler [3.9K]

The fraction of the orange juice will be 2/3cup.

Why?

Since there is no additional information, let's assume that the fruit punch is made using just three juice fruits, lemonade juice, cranberry juice and the rest is orange juice.

We can calculate the fraction of the orange juice using the following information:

FruitPunch=\frac{1}{4}Lemonade+\frac{1}{12}Cranberry+Orange\\\\1cup=\frac{1}{4}cup+\frac{1}{12}cup+Orange\\\\1cup-(\frac{1}{4}cup+\frac{1}{12}cup)=Orange\\\\1cup-(\frac{12+4}{4*12})=Orange\\\\Orange=1cup-\frac{16}{48}cup=1cup-\frac{1}{3}cup=\frac{3-1}{3}cup=\frac{2}{3}cup

Hence, we have that the fraction of the orange juice will be 2/3cup.

Have a nice day!

6) 8x+y=-16<br> -3x+y=-5<br> Solve each system by elimination?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

x=-2.2 y=-1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+y=-16

-3x+y=5

5x=-11

x=-11/5 or -2.2

-3x+y=5

-3(-2.2)+y=5

6.6+y=5

-6.6+y=-6.6

y=-1.6

I really need the answers please help asap
DanielleElmas [232]

Step-by-step explanation:

In a straight line theres 180 degrees and where x is you can tell its an X lines the opposites will be the same.

First you need to work out the triangles 180-122=58 and a triangle is 180 degrees so

58+40=98 180-98=82°

now working out the other triangle.

180-82=98, 43+98=141

180-141=39

and because the opposites will end up the same x=39°
