Answer:
P(rolling five distinct values) = 1/3888
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that I the fair sided dice, 6 is replaced with 5.
Thus,the numbers are now;
1,2,3,4,5,5.
This means a total of 6 possible numbers appearing.
Now, in these 6 numbers there are only 5 distinct numbers since 5 occurs twice.
P(1) = 1/6
P(2) = 1/6
P(3) = 1/6
P(4) = 1/6
P(5) = 2/6
Thus,probability of rolling 5 distinct values = 1/6 × 1/6 × 1/6 × 1/6 × 2/6 = 1/3888
Answer: $500
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
A sells to B at a profit of 10%: 1.10A = B
B sells to C for $577.50 at a profit of 5%: 1.05B = 577.50
Substitute B with 1.10A in the second equation:
1.05(1.10A) = 577.50
1.155A = 577.50
A = 500
