For three fair six-sided dice, the possible sum of the faces rolled can be any digit from 3 to 18.
For instance the minimum sum occurs when all three dices shows 1 (i.e. 1 + 1 + 1 = 3) and the maximum sum occurs when all three dces shows 6 (i.e. 6 + 6 + 6 = 18).
Thus, there are 16 possible sums when three six-sided dice are rolled.
Therefore, from the pigeonhole principle, <span>the minimum number of times you must throw three fair six-sided dice to ensure that the same sum is rolled twice is 16 + 1 = 17 times.
The pigeonhole principle states that </span><span>if n items are put into m containers, with n > m > 0, then at least one container must contain more than one item.
That is for our case, given that there are 16 possible sums when three six-sided dice is rolled, for there to be two same sums, the number of sums will be greater than 16 and the minimum number greater than 16 is 17.

Answer:
The population is expected to double in 36 years
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the the rule of 72,
A value is doubled if the product of the annual rate and number of years is 72,
Given,
The annual rate of interest = 2%
Let x be the time in years after 1965,
By the above statement,
The population will double if,
x × 2 = 72 ⇒ x = 36
Hence, the after 36 years since 1965 the population will be doubled,
i.e in 2001. ( ∵ 36 years after 1965 )
2 , -5 , 1
those are the coefficients (C)
Answer:
Slope of a horizontal line. When two points have the same y-value, it means they lie on a horizontal line. The slope of such a line is 0, and you will also find this by using the slope formula.
