What is the probability of getting either a sum of 5 or at least one 5 in the roll of a pair of dice?

In a throw of 2 fair dice, there are 6*6=36 equiprobability outcomes.

To get a sum of 5, there are 4 ways, (1,4),(2,3),(3,2),(4,1) with probability of 4/36=1/9

To get at least one 5, there are 6+6-1=11 outcomes (note (5,5) has been counted in both, so subtracted from sum).  The probability is 11/36

Since the two events are mutually exclusive (once we have a five, the sum can no longer be 5), we can add the probabilities to get the probability of one event or the other.

P(sum of 5 OR at least one 5)=1/9+11/36=4/36+11/36=15/36=5/9

10 hours

If you were to subtract 175 by 95 then you would get 80, then you would divide 80 by 8 then you would get 10.

Hi I really need help
denis-greek [22]

To solve this, you can first solve each expression:

35 / 6 = 5.83333

5 + 3/10 = 5.3

5 = 5

35 / 10 = 3.5

15 / 5 = 5

5 + 5/6 = 5.8333333

3 = 3

10 * 1/2 = 5

So, the tiles of 5, 15*1/5, and 10*1/2 all equal 5.

The tiles of 35/6 and 5+5/6 equal 5.83333.

The remaining tiles to not have matches.
