Mathematics
1 answer:
Radda [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Of the 36 equally probable outcomes, 10 are less than or equal to 5, so the probability is<u> 10/36 = 5/18.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the 36 equally probable outcomes, 10 are less than or equal to 5, so the probability is 10/36 = 5/18.

If you want you can also use algebra:

Let R1 and R2 be discrete uniform random variables representing the outcomes of each of the two dice, and let S = R1 + R2 be the sum.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

To calculate m use the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (8, 4)

m = \frac{4-6}{8-3} = - \frac{2}{5}, hence

y = - \frac{2}{5} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (8, 4), then

4 = - \frac{16}{5} + c ⇒ c = 4 + \frac{16}{5} = \frac{36}{5}

y = - \frac{2}{5} x + \frac{36}{5} ← equation of line

Jackson has three cartons of gumballs. There are 100 boxes in each carton. There are 100 gumballs in each box
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

3. 10000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Number of gumball cartons = 3

Number of boxes per carton = 100

Number of gumballs per box = 100

The number of gumballs can be expressed in the form : (a. 10) ; where ; a = prime number ; b = whole number

Values of a and b?

Total number of gumballs :

Number of carton × number of boxes per carton × number of gumballs per box

3 × 100 × 100

Hence, writing the expression in the form: a. 10

a. 10 = 3 × 10000
