Short Answer D
P(1) = 1(1+1)(2*1 + 1)/6
P(1) = 1(2)(2 +1) / 6
P(1) = 1(2)(3)/6
P(1) = 1
P(2) = 2(2+1)(2*2 + 1) / 6
P(2) = 2(3)(5) / 6
P(2) = 5 So this formula is adding as it goes along. To Find the Total all we need do is use the formula to calculate P(1) to P(7)
P(7) = 7*(7 + 1)(2*7 + 1)/6
P(7) = 7 * 8 * 15 / 6
P(7) = 7 * 4 * 5
P(7) = 140 <<<< Answer
(1,4)
(4,1)
(2,3)
(3,2)
so there are 4 different combinations that equal 5
6 x 6 = 36 total possible outcomes of the dice
so they have a 4/36 reduces to 1/9 probability of equaling 5
First find the factors of 20
1 & 20
2 & 10
4 & 5
-1 & -20
-2 & -10
-4 & -5
Now find the pairs that have a difference of 1
-4 & -5
4 & 5
The answer for that would be 2 raise to 5. solution:
2 ³ x 2 raise to 6 = 2 raise to 9
thus, you have now,
2 raise to 9 over 2 raise to 4
subtracting 4 from 9
the Answer is 2 raise to 5
