umber of possible outcomes = 6^4 = 1296

Number of such outcomes, in which each number is no less than the preceding number, will be equal to number of ways of selecting 4 numbers from 6, with replacement; without considering order!


Why?


Lets choose any such set of size 4, say {2, 1, 1, 3}. we can sort it to get a sequence {1,1,2,3} which is one of our desired outcomes. So each such sorted sequence corresponds to one selection of size 4, with replacement and without considering order.


Number of such selections will be equal to number of solutions of following equation:


x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 + x6 = 4


where:


x1: number of 1 in the selections


x2: number of 2s in the selection


.


.


x6: number of 6s in the selection


Number unique solutions of such equation = 9 choose 5 = 126


(For more details on this see : Unordered sampling with replacement )


Number of possible outcomes = 6^4 = 1296


Probability of favorable outcomes = 126/1296=7/72

Starting from the same place, Ryu walks due west and Samantha walks due east.
juin [17]

For Samantha, 2 tick marks east is 120 units east because 1 tick is 60 units.

For Ryu, 8 tick marks west is 480 units west because 1 tick is 60 units.

They are walking to form a line. Just add their distances from 0.

120 + 480 = 600.

--------------------------0----------------------------

Ryu: 480                         Samantha: 120

         480              +             120           =    600.

600 units, or feet.

Find the area of a circle with a diameter of 6. Either enter an exact answer in terms of pi or use 3.14 for pi
ankoles [38]
So it gives you the diameter but you need the radius of the circle to find the area so to find the radius you just divide the diameter by two. the formula for the area of a circle is A=pi*r^2 so you just multiply 3.14 by 3 squared so you just put it in the calculator as A=3.14*3^2 and you get 28.26 hope this helped

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (1,9) and (3,5).
kozerog [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is    y = -2x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

A (1, 9)

B (3, 5)

- Find the slope

 m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

 m = \frac{5 - 9}{3 - 1}

 m = \frac{-4}{2}

        m = - 2

- Find the line equation

        y - y1 = m (x - x1)

        y - 5 = -2(x - 3)

        y - 5 = -2x + 6

        y = -2x + 6 + 5

        y = -2x + 11
