At the local ice cream shop, there
1 answer:
Answer:
22.73% possibility that both of the scoops are ice cream
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
The order of the scoops is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.
Combinations formula:
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
What is the possibility that both of the scoops are ice cream?
Desired outcomes:
2 scoops of ice cream(set of 6). So
Total outcomes:
2 scoops from a set of 6 + 6 = 12. So
Probability:
22.73% possibility that both of the scoops are ice cream

To determine the degree of a polynomial, you look at every term:
- if the term involves only one variable, the degree of that term is the exponent of the variable
- if the term involves more than one variable, the degree of that term is the sum of the exponents of the variables.
So, for example, the degree of is 55, while the degree of
is
Finally, the term of the degree of the polynomial is the highest degree among its terms.
So, is a degree 2 polynomial (although it only has one term)
similarly, is a degree 3 polynomial: the first two terms have degree 3, because they have exponents 2 and 1.
