Eights rooks are placed randomly on a chess board. What is the probability that none of the rooks can capture any of the other r

ooks? Translation for those who are not familiar with chess: pick 8 unit squares at random from an 8x8 square grid. What is the probability that no two chosen squares share a row or a column?

Answer:

The probability is \frac{56!}{64!}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can divide the amount of favourable cases by the total amount of cases.

The total amount of cases is the total amount of ways to put 8 rooks on a chessboard. Since a chessboard has 64 squares, this number is the combinatorial number of 64 with 8, 64 \choose 8 .

For a favourable case, you need one rook on each column, and for each column the correspondent rook should be in a diferent row than the rest of the rooks. A favourable case can be represented by a bijective function  f : A \rightarrow A , with A = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}. f(i) = j represents that the rook located in the column i is located in the row j.

Thus, the total of favourable cases is equal to the total amount of bijective functions between a set of 8 elements. This amount is 8!, because we have 8 possibilities for the first column, 7 for the second one, 6 on the third one, and so on.

We can conclude that the probability for 8 rooks not being able to capture themselves is

\frac{8!}{64 \choose 8} = \frac{8!}{\frac{64!}{8!56!}} = \frac{56!}{64!}

Franklin rolls a pair of six-sided fair dice with sides numbered 1 through 6.
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

The answer is 7/36.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you find out how many possible outcomes there are from rolling a pair of dice. On one cube, you can roll a 1,2,3,4,5, or 6; so there are 6 outcomes. Since there are two cubes, you multiply 6 by itself to get a total of 36 possible outcomes. Next, you find the probability of the sum of the numbers rolled being an even number; the possibilities are 2,4,6,8,10, or 12, which is 6/36. The probability of rolling a multiple of 5; the one possibility is just 5, since we already accounted for rolling a 10 as an even number. So that is 1/36. The word <u>or</u> says that we add the two probabilities, so the final answer is 6/36+1/36=7/36.

Which expression can be used to find the surface area of the following rectangular prism?
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 times 2 is 6, 2 times 5 is 10, 5 times 3 is 15. However you need 2 for each since there are 3 sets of two equal faces. So it will be 6+6+10+10+15+15
