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

If p→qp→q, and q→rq→r, then thats all it says
Angelina_Jolie [31]
Answer: then q→r

Explanation:

If p → q

and q →r , then  you can use the law of transitivity to conclude

q→r.

That is a basic law of sillogisms.

An example will help you to understand the transivity law:

Make p, stand for 3 > 3/4, q stand for 3/4 > 15 / 20, the you can conclude that 3 > 15 / 20.

3 > 3/4

3 /4 > 15 / 20

Then, 3 > 15 /20.

This is, from the fact that you know that 3 is gretar than 3/4 and that 3/4 is greater than 15/20, you can conclude that 3 > 15 / 20. That is transitivity and is a law of logic, which you can use to get conclusions.

Based on the family the graph below belongs to, which equation could represent the graph?
pav-90 [236]

The correct equation which represents the graph is y = log (2x) + 3. Then the correct option is B.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

The function is an expression, rule, or law that defines the relationship between one variable to another variable. Functions are ubiquitous in mathematics and are essential for formulating physical relationships.

The equations are given below.

The graph of the function y = 2ˣ + 3 approaches zero when the value of x goes to negative infinity.

The graph of the function y = log (2x) + 3 approaches the negative infinity when the value of x approaches zero.

The graph of the function y = 2x² + 2 is parabolic in nature.

Then the correct equation which represents the graph is y = log (2x) + 3.

More about the function link is given below.
