Answer:

210 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Arthur ⇒ a = 3 k
  • Yusuf ⇒  y = 5k
  • Bill ⇒      b = 6k

<u>Yusuf gave </u><u>x</u><u> stamps to Arthur, then:</u>

  • y = 5k -x
  • a = 3k + x

<u>Bill gave Arthur 42 stamps more than Yusuf gave to Arthur, then:</u>

  • b = 6k - (x+42)
  • a = 3k + x + x + 42

<u>Now all 3 have same amount of stamps:</u>

  • 5k -x = 6k - x - 42 = 3k + 2x + 42

<u>From the first part of the equation we get:</u>

  • 6k - 5k = 42 + x - x
  • k = 42

<u>How many stamps did Yusuf have at first?</u>

  • y = 5k
  • y =5*42
  • y = 210 stamps

Yusuf had 210 stamps at first

Each of five, standard, six-sided dice is rolled once. What is the probability that there is at least one pair but not a three-o
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

The probability that there is at least one pair but not a three of a kind is 0.6944.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the case when we have five dices and we roll them and we need  that there is at least one pair but not a three of a king which is Two dice showing the same value, but no three dice showing the value.

Total no of outcomes = 6^5 = 7776

We will consider the other cases and then subtract them from the total outcomes.

No of outcomes of 5 of a kind = 6

No of outcomes 4 of a kind and 1 different = (6*5)*5 = 150

No of outcomes with 3 of a kind and 1 different pairs = (6*1*1*5*1)*5C2= 300

No of outcomes with 3 of a kind and two different = 6*5*4*10= 120*10=1200

No of outcomes when all are different = 6! = 720

These all the cases when subtracted from the total will represent the total cases in which there are two dice showing the same value.

Total cases = 6+150+300+1200+720

                   = 2376

Required no of outcomes = 7776-2376 = 5400

Probability = \frac{5400}{7776} = 0.6944

Therefore the probability for the case of at least one pair but not a three of a kind is 0.6944.
