Answer:

4/6 or 66.666...%

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find the probability of obtaining neither a 5 nor a 2 you find how many times they occur and add them together in this case 5 occurs once and 2 also occurs once out of 6 numbers so 1/6 + 1/6 equals 2/6, you now know that 4/6 of them won't be a 5 nor a 2 and because it is a fair die the likelihood of it falling on a number is the same for all sides so the answer is 4/6 or 66.67%.

Answer:

$20\pi $ inches or \approx 62.83$ inches$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Central Angle of Arc SV}=\dfrac{5\pi}{6}$ rad$\\\text{Radius of Circle T}=24 in.\\\\\text{Length of an arc} = \dfrac{\theta}{2\pi} \times 2\pi r$

Therefore:

$\text{Length of minor arc SV} = \dfrac{\frac{5\pi}{6}}{2\pi} \times 2\pi \times 24\\=20\pi $ inches\\\approx 62.83$ inches$

The length of minor arc SV is 62.83 inches.

A three character computer code consist of two letters. what is the probability that the code will be ABA? What is the probabili

Zanzabum

Well if you write out all the possibilities, it would look like this:
AAB
ABB
ABA
BBA
BAB
BAA
^ That is just assuming that you can't do BBB & AAA.

With that, the probability of getting ABA is 1/6 because there are 6 possibilities that the code could be but you are only looking for 1 of those.

Now if you can use BBB & AAA, it would be 1/8.
