You have to consider the sample space. In this example the sample space 
is {1,2,3,4,5,6}
A simple event can be defined as a SINGLE outcome : Example getting a 3 OR 5 OR any other number from the sample space.
Now if you roll 1 dice & you want to get an even number (2,4,6) then you have chosen from the sample space 3 outcome & this is a compound event
Equally if you roll 2 dice and want to get "one" and/or "three" this is a compound event since you have chosen 2 outcome from the sample space.
Mind you, if you want 5 And 5 when rolling two dice it's a simple event because you have chosen ONE outcome from the sample space.
Hope this will help you to understand this kind of problem

Un curso esta formado por 12 mujeres y 15 hombres ¿cual es la probabilidad de que las personas en el cargo de presidente y visep
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

P = (12/27)*(11/26) = 0.188

Step-by-step explanation:

Si todos tienen la misma probabilidad de estar en cargo de presidente y vicepresidente, entonces:

La probabilidad de que una mujer sea presidente, es igual al cociente entre el número de mujeres y el número total de personas:

p = 12/27

Ahora queremos calcular lo mismo para vicepresidente, y el cálculo es exactamente igual, con la diferencia de que en esta situación, ya hay una mujer en el cargo de presidente, entonces hay 11 mujeres que pueden ser vicepresidente, y un total de: (11 + 15 = 26 personas)

Entonces ahora la probabilidad es:

q = 11/26

La probabilidad conjunta (es decir, la probabilidad de que ambos eventos pasen) es igual al producto de las probabilidades individuales.

P = (12/27)*(11/26) = 0.188

Five times the sum of 3 and twice some numbers is 70. What is the number?
Anna11 [10]
Let x represent some number
Sum of 3 and twice some number = 3 +2x
Five times the sum of 3 and twice some number: 5(3+2x)

5(3+2x)=70
15+10x=70
Subtract 15 from both sides to have 10x by itself
10x=55
Divide 10 on both sides to get x by itself
x=55/10
x=5.5

Hope this helped

Find the slope, Y-intercept, and equation (make sure there is no decimals if there is a decimal make it into a fraction)!
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Slope is 5/3

y-intercept = -3

y = 5/3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, take to coordinates and use the equation below

m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

7-2 = 5

6-3= 3

Now you have your slope which is 5/3

Then take the slope and input it into point slope form to get your y-intercept.

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

y-2 = 5/3(x-3)

y-2=5/3x-5

add two to both sides to get Y by itself

y = 5/3x - 3

now you have your y-intercept, which is -3

Then check your answer by inputing two different coordinates for X and Y

7 = 5/3(6)-3

7=7

12= 5/3(9)-3

12=12
