Consider three independent rolls of a fair six-sided die. (a) What is the probability that the sum of the three rolls is 11? (b)

What is the probability that the sum of the three rolls is 12? (c) In the seventeenth century, Galileo explained the experimental observation that a sum of 10 is more frequent than a sum of 9, even though both 10 and 9 can be obtained in six distinct ways. Can you retrace Galileo’s thinking?

Answer:

a) 1/8 b) 1/12 c) probability of obtaining sum of 9 in a single roll of die without having the same number repeated twice is less than than of sum of 10  

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of any digit in a single roll = 1/6

a) sum of 11 will be obtained if each roll has the following result

1 and 4 and 6, 1 and 5 and 5, 1 and 6 and 4, 4 and 1 and 6, 4 and 6 and 1, 6 and 4 and 1, 6 and 1 and 4, 5 and 1 and 5, 5 and 5 and 1, 2 and 5 and 4, 2 and 4 and 5, 4 and 2 and 5, 4 and 5 and 2, 5 and 2 and 4, 5 and 4 and 2, 2 and 6 and 3, 2 and 3 and 6, 3 and 2 and 6, 3 and 6 and 2, 6 and 3 and 2, 6 and 2 and 3, 3 and 3 and 5, 3 and 5 and 3, 5 and 3 and 3, 3 and 4 and 4, 4 and 3 and 3, 3 and 4 and 3

27(1/6 × 1/6 × 1/6)= 1/8

b) 2 and 4 and 6, 2 and 5 and 5, 4 and 2 and 6, 4 and 6 and 2, 6 and 4 and 2, 6 and 2 and 4, 5 and 2 and 5, 5 and 5 and 2, 2 and 6 and 4, 3 and 3 and 6, 3 and 6 and 3, 6 and 3 and 3, 3 and 4 and 5, 3 and 5 and 4, 4 and 3 and 5, 4 and 5 and 3, 5 and 3 and 4, 5 and 4 and 3

18(1/6 × 1/6 × 1/6)= 1/12

c) six ways of obtaining 10:  3+1+6, 3+2+5, 3+3+4, 4+2+4,4+5+1, 6+2+2

  six ways of obtaining 9: 1+2+6, 1+3+5, 1+4+4, 2+2+5, 2+3+4,3+3+3

To get 10, there are only two ways of repeating a number out of 6 ways. To get 9, there are three ways of repeating a number out of 6 ways

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Point(9,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Point: (6,3)

Required

Translate 2 units down and 3 units left

Taking the translation 1 after other

When a function is translated down, only the y axis is affected;

2 units down implies that, 2 be subtracted from the y value.

The function becomes

Point: (6, 3 - 2)

Point: (6, 1)

3 units right implies that, 3 be added tothe x value.

The function becomes

Point(3+6,1)

Point(9,1)

Hence;

15 POINTS!<br> What is the correct answer for Dean's problem? Explain where he went wrong.
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The slope is 5/-2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is y1-y2 over m1-m2 (rise over run). The first ordered pair is -2 (m1) and 11 (y1). We then subtract the second ordered pair (4 (m2) and -4 (y2)) from the first.

11 - (-4) = 11 + 4 = 15

-2 - 4 = -6

Remember, slope is rise over run (y over x), so the slope is 15/-6. Now, we must simplify. 15/-6 = 5/-2

Dean went wrong because he thought that slope was run over rise (x over y). If he had switched the two numbers, his answer would have been correct.
