Two 6-sided dice are rolled. what is the probability that the sum of the two numbers on the dice will be greater than 8?

Mathematics

Serhud [2]3 years ago
6 0

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

Each morning, Hungry Harry eats some eggs. On any given morning, the number of eggs he eats is equally likely to be 1, 2, 3, 4,
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Mean = 35

Variance = 291.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

X : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

All the data are independent

Thus,

The mean for this case will be given as:

Mean, E[X] = \frac{\textup{Sum of all the observations}}{\textup{Total number of observations}}

or

 E[X] = \frac{\textup{1+2+3+4+5+6}}{\textup{6}}

or

E[X] = 3.5

For 10 days, Mean = 3.5 × 10 = 35

And,

variance = E[X²] - ( E[X] )²

Now, for this case of independent value,

E[X²] = \frac{1^2+2^2+3^2+4^2+5^2+6^2}{\textup{6}}

or

E[X²] = \frac{1+4+9+16+25+36}{\textup{6}}

or

E[X²] = \frac{91}{\textup{6}}

or

E[X²] = 15.167

Therefore,

variance = E[X²] - ( E[X] )²

or

variance = 15.167 - 3.5²

or

Variance = 2.917

For 10 days = Variance × Days²

= 2.917 × 10²

= 291.7

Use the work shown to find the solutions of the quadratic equation. x2 – x –3/4=0 x2 – x = 3/4
bija089 [108]

Answer:

x = - \frac{1}{2}, x = \frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - x - \frac{3}{4} = 0

Multiply through by 4 to clear the fraction

4x² - 4x - 3 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 4 × - 3 = - 12 and sum = - 4

The factors are + 2 and - 6

Use these factors to split the x- term

4x² + 2x - 6x - 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(2x + 1) - 3(2x + 1) = 0 ← factor out (2x + 1) from each term

(2x + 1)(2x - 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x + 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 1 ⇒ x = - \frac{1}{2}

2x - 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 3 ⇒ x = \frac{3}{2}

Use substitution to solve the<br> following system of equations.<br> 2x + 4y = 12 AND x=y - 3
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The solution is (0, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, reduce 2x + 4y = 12 to x + 2y = 6, for easier calculations.

Next, substitute y - 3 for x in the other equation:

y - 3 + 2y = 6, or

3y = 9

Then y = 3.  Since x = y - 3 in general, x = 3 - 3 = 0 when y = 3.

The solution is (0, 3)
