Answer:

a) 16.7% probability that both dice show the same number

b) 83.3% probability that both dice show different numbers

c) 41.67% probability that the second die lands on a lower value than does the first.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this problem, we have these possible outcomes:

Format(Dice A, Dice B)

(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5),(1,6)

(2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5),(2,6)

(3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5),(3,6)

(4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5),(4,6)

(5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5),(5,6)

(6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5),(6,6)

There are 36 possible outcomes.

(a) What is the probability that both dice show the same number?

(1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6)

6 outcomes in which both dice show the same number.

6/36 = 0.167

16.7% probability that both dice show the same number

(b) What is the probability that both dice show different numbers?

The other 30 outcomes

30/36 = 0.833

83.3% probability that both dice show different numbers

(c) What is the probability that the second die lands on a lower value than does the first?

(2,1)

(3,1), (3,2)

(4,1), (4,2), (4,3)

(5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4)

(6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5)

15 outcomes in which the second die lands on a lower value than does the first.

15/36 = 0.4167

41.67% probability that the second die lands on a lower value than does the first.

To solve the equation below by completing the square, what is your first step?<br> 3x^2+18x=21
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Multiply both sides of the equation by 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2+18x=21

The first step is to get the x term with a coefficient of 1, so divide by 3 on both sides of the equation

This is the same as multiplying by 1/3

1/3 * (3x^2+18x)=21*1/3

x^2 +6x = 7

Calculate the radius of the circular rug. Use 3.14 for π. <br><br> area of rug: 153.86 feet
irakobra [83]

Answer:

7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is given by

A = pi r^2

153.86 = 3.14 r^2

Divide each side by 3.14

153.86 / 3.14 = r^2

49 = r^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(49) = sqrt(r^2)

7 = r

Will an object 20ft below sea level have a different absolute value than an object 20ft above sea level .. explain
trapecia [35]

No, the objects below the sea and above both have the absolute value of 20 ft.

The absolute value is how far the number is away from zero- it doesn't matter if it is in the positive or negative direction

For example, if you drove 20 miles from your house in one direction while your friends drove 20 miles in the other direction- both of  the distances of you and your friend from the your house is 20 miles.

Distance is a great example of the absolute value because it is always positive. It doesn't matter what direction, it is always 20 miles from your house.

En una camioneta se pueden transportar 28.5 kilogramos. ¿ Cuántas camionetas se necesitan para transportar 484.5 Kg?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The number of trucks required is 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

28.5 kilograms can be transported in a van. How many trucks are needed to transport 484.5 Kg?

For the transportation of 28.5 kg, one truck is required.

Total mass = 484.5 kg

The number of trucks required is

n = total mass/ mass of one

n=\frac{484.5}{28.5}\\\\n = 17
