If you roll 5 dice what is the probability of getting exactly 3 dices with 4 and two something other than 4

Mathematics
1 answer:
ollegr [7]3 years ago
4 0

When you roll a die, you get 4 with probabiliy 1/6 and something other than 4 with probability 5/6.

You want to get 4 three times, this happens with probability (1/6)^3.

You want to get something other than 4 two times, this happens with probability (5/6)^2.

Finally, we have to count all the combinations of three rolls ending in 4 and two rolls ending in something other than 4. For example, you might have

44NN4

4N4N4

N44N4

(where '4' represents a roll ending in 4 and 'N' represents a roll ending in something other than 4)

The number of different combinations is given by the binominal coefficient (5 3), because choosing the roll that must end in 4 automatically fixes also those that won't end in 4:

\displaystyle \binom{5}{3}=\dfrac{5!}{3!2!}=\dfrac{5\times 4\times 3\times 2}{3\times 2\times 2}=10

So, the final anwer is

10\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^3\cdot\left(\dfrac{5}{6}\right)^2

How do you know the opposite of a nonzero integer?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The opposite of a nonzero integer is the inverse of it. So to get the opposite, change the sign.

For example:

What's the opposite of 3?

-3.

I hope that I explained well :)

Easyy I need help guys...(easy fractions)
Ivanshal [37]

1a. 5/10 can be simplified to 1/2. (5 divided by 5 is one, 10 divided by 5 is 2.)

1b. 9/12 can be simplified to 3/4. (9 divided by 3 is 3, 12 divided by 3 is 4.)

1c. 12/18 can be simplified to 2/3. (12 divided by 6 is 2, 18 divided by 6 is 3.)

1d. 9/24 can be simplified to 3/8. (9 divided by 3 is 3, 24 divided by 3 is 8.)

1e. 27/90 can be simplified to 3/10. (27 divided by 9 is 3, 90 divided by 9 is 10.)

1f. 40/48 can be simplified to 5/6. (40 divided by 8 is 5, 48 divided by 8 is 6.)

Solve the system by substitution
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

(-5, -30)

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with the equation:

y = 6x

y = -4x - 50

Since both of them are equal to y, we can substitute the 6x into y. So:

6x = -4x - 50

Now we can solve for x. Add 4x to both sides...

6x = -4x - 50

+4x   +4x

10x = -50

Now, divide both sides by 10.

<u>10x</u> = <u>-50</u>

10      10

x = -5

So, we now know that x is -5. Now we know this, we can substitute -5 where we see x. It works in both equations, so I will do both.

y = 6(-5)

y = -30

And...

y = -4(-5) - 50

y = 20 - 50

y = -30

As you can see, both equations show that y = -30. To check our work, let's plug in the values.

-30 = 6(-5)

-30 = -30

Also:

-30 = -4(-5) - 50

-30 = -20 - 50

-30 = -30

So, we can see that both of the equations gave us the same answer. So, our answer is x = -5 and y = -30, so the ordered pair is: (-5, -30). Hope this helps you!
