Answer: 5/18

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space when two 6- sided dice are rolled is given below:

(+) 1 2 3 4 5 6

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

2 3 4 5 6 7 8

3 4 5 6 7 8 9

4 5 6 7 8 9 10

5 6 7 8 9 10 11

6 7 8 9 10 11 12

The total sample space is 36.

Sum greater than 8 are : {9,10,11,12}

which are 10 in number:

Therefore : the probability that the sum of the two numbers on the dice will be greater than 8 will be :

number of the sum greater than 8 / Total sample space

That is ;

P(sum greater than 8) = 10/36

P(sum greater than 8) = 5/18

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Total possible ways to select 6 teachers from 34 teacher are $^{34}C_6=1344904$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that total number of teachers at a school is 34.

The school director must randomly select 6 teachers to part in a training session.

$^nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

Where, n is total possible outcomes and r is number of selected outcomes.

Total teachers = 34

Selected teachers =6

Total number of possible ways to select 6 teachers from 34 teacher is

$^{34}C_6=\frac{34!}{6!(34-6)!}$

$^{34}C_6=\frac{34\times 33\times 32\times 31\times 29\times 28!}{6!(28)!}$

$^{34}C_6=1344904$

Therefore total possible ways to select 6 teachers from 34 teacher are $^{34}C_6=1344904$ .
