Answer:

0.15%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of rolling a 7 on a 8-sided die will always be:

1/8

We know that for the first two tries that there is 7/8 chance that the die will land on anything but a 7:

=(7/8)\cdot{(7/8)}=49/64=0.77

For the die to land on a 7 the 3rd, 4th and 5th try is:

=(1/8)\cdot{(1/8)}\cdot{(1/8)}=1/512

The probability is therefore:

{1/512)\cdot{(49/64)}=49/32768=0.00149

The probability that the die will land on a 7 not on the first and second try but on the 3rd, 4th and 5th try is 0.15%

Girl please help how do you graph y= 3x + 2
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

3 is your slope, 2 is the y intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Start at (0,2) or 2 on the y axis. Your slope is 3 or, 3/1 slope is always rise over run, so for every 3 you go up, you go over one. so make a dot at (0,2), then a dot at (1,5), then at (2,8). and so on. Always go to the right one and up three. If you need to go into the negatives, you will go left 3 and down one, so (-1,-1), then (-2,-4), and so on.

Stephens glass holds 450 milliliters of milk. Naiahs glass holds 2/5 as much milk. How much does Naiahs glass hold?
masha68 [24]
Well there is 450 millimeters in general and Naiahs glass hold 2 out of the five fifths of Stephens glass. so you have to do 450 divided by 5 which is 90. but that is only one fifth, you have to do 90 times two. so it would be 180 millimeters. 180/450.

Perform the following:-1/3 + 6/715/16 - 3/47/6x + -4/3y
Wittaler [7]

SOLUTION

\begin{gathered} a\text{. }\frac{-1}{3}\text{ + }\frac{6}{7} \\  \\ \frac{-7+18}{21} \\  \\ \frac{11}{21} \end{gathered}

b.

\begin{gathered} \frac{15}{16}-\frac{3}{4} \\  \\ \frac{15-12}{16} \\  \\ \frac{3}{16} \end{gathered}

c.

\begin{gathered} \frac{7}{6x}+\frac{-4}{3y} \\  \\ \frac{7y-8x}{6xy} \end{gathered}

So we just have to find the LCM of the denominators, then we perform the rule of addition of fraction
