Answer: Both in favor and against: 3/6 OR 1/2 OR 50%.

Step-by-step explanation: Both in favor and against: 3/6 OR 1/2 OR 50%.

The probability of rolling one die and getting any digit is \frac{1}{6}. That is because the desired outcome is only 1 digit out of the 6 total digits on each of the six sides.

That means the probability of rolling either a 1, a 2, or a 4 <em>if you are looking for any of those numbers specifically, </em>is \frac{1}{6}. But! You are looking to roll a 1, a 2, or a 4, without any preference among those three. Therefore, you are going to add the desired outcomes.

\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6}  + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 = 50%

Above, are added the probability of rolling a 1 PLUS the probability of rolling a 2 PLUS the probability of rolling a 4, yielding a 50% probability.

Think about it. There are six total digits on a die. You are okay with rolling three of those. Three is half of six. Therefore, the probability of rolling the number you'd like is one-half, fifty-percent.

Likewise, since the probability of all complement events happening is 1 (or 100%), The odds against rolling either 1, 2, or 4 is also fifty-percent. 100% (which is rolling <em>any </em>number on a die) MINUS 50% (which is rolling a 1, a 2, or a 4 with no preference) EQUALS TO 50% (which is rolling a 3, a 5, or a 6).

Someone please help me with this math problem! :(
Assoli18 [71]
Area of a parallelogram=base x heigth
Data:
base=(2x+3)
heigth=(ax+5)
area of this parallelogram=8x²+bx+15

Therefore:
8x²+bx+15=(2x+3)(ax+5)
8x²+bx+15=2ax²+10x+3ax+15
8x²+bx+15=2ax²+(10+3a)x+15

Then:
8x²=2ax²
a=(8x²)/(2x²)=4

bx=(10+3(4))x
bx=(10+12)x
b=22x/x=22

Answer: a=4 and b=22.

Round 3424 to the thousands place
Masja [62]
To solve this...

Look at the number and determine how far it is from 3,000 and 4,000

Since 424 is closer to 0

And not 500... (which rounds up)

Your answer is going to be 3,000

Hope this was helpful.
