A pair of dice is rolled. Two dice are rolled

Possible outcomes are

(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)

So total of 36 outcomes

Question says 'the probability of rolling a sum not less than 3'

we look at the pair that has sum greater than or equal to 3

There is only one pair (1,1) whose sum is 1+1 =2

So we ignore (1,1) pair

Remaining 35 pairs have sum greater than 3

the probability of rolling  = (number of times event occurs)  divide by total number of outcomes

the probability ( rolling a sum not less than 3) = \frac{35}{36}

The company, hewerrtt, would like to make letter codes using all of the letters in the word hewerrtt. how many codes can be made
shtirl [24]
<span>If the company, hewerrtt, would like to make letter codes using all of the letters in the word hewerrtt, they would be able to make five codes. Altogether, there are eight letters in the word, but there are duplicates of the letter e, the letter r, and the letter t, so that takes out three possibilities. Three subtracted from eight is equal to five, therefore the company can make five codes using the company name.</span>

The vertices of a quadrilateral are A(-1, 6), B(-2, 4), C(2, 2), and D(3, 4). Write a paragraph proof to determine whether quadr
Katarina [22]
A rectangle is a quadrilateral with either two opposite sides equal and parallel to each other. That is AB is parallel and equal to CD and AD parallel and equal to BC. Parallel lines have equal slopes.
Thus, AB slope is 2, while that of CD is also 2, therefore they are parallel to each other. In addition the modulus of AB and that of CD is the same thus they are equal in length.
AD slope is -1/2 while that of BC is also -1/2 therefore the two are parallel to each other. In addition they are equal in length therefore they are equal in length. 
Moreover AB is perpendicular to BC and AD (product of slope of two perpendicular lines is -1)
Therefore, it can be concluded that Quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle.

Solve the system by substitution
kramer

Answer:

The solution to the system of equations be:

x=3,\:y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations

4x-2y = 16

y = -5x+13

Solving the system of equations using the substitution method

\begin{bmatrix}4x-2y=16\\ y=-5x+13\end{bmatrix}

Substitute y = -5x+13 in 4x-2y = 16

4x-2\left(-5x+13\right)=16

4x+10x-26 = 16

14x-26 = 16

Now isolate x for 14x-26 = 16

14x-26=16

Add 26 to both sides

14x-26+26=16+26

Simplify

14x=42

Divide both sides by 14

\frac{14x}{14}=\frac{42}{14}

Simplify

x=3

For y = -5x+13

Substitute x = 3

y=-5\cdot \:3+13

Simplify

y=-2

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations be:

x=3,\:y=-2

The factory produces sewing machine parts. During one week they produced 345,298,452 and 388 parts per day. What was the average
Alexxx [7]
370.75 ~ 371

Example:
To find the average for 10,18 and 13.

We just have add the following numbers and divided them by how many numbers you added.

Solution:
10 + 18 + 13 = 41
41 / 3 = 13.67 or 14
Then the average score is 14.
