sums have an equal chance of occurring

Answer:

I will use the notation:

Cube1 + Cube2 = sum.

Ok, each number cube has 6 options, so the total number of possible combinations is equal to the product of the number of options for each event we have two events (two number cubes).

Then:

C = 6*6 = 36

we have 36 possible combinations.

Now, let's look at the sums that have the same number of combinations (which would mean that have the same number of combinations).

For example, the lower result possible is two ones:

1 + 1 = 2

(only one outcome adds up to 2)

And the maximum result possible is two sixes:

6 + 6 = 12

(only one outcome adds up to 12)

Then 2 and 12 have the same probability, 1/36.

Now we can keep loking at 2 + 1 and 12 - 1.

2 + 1 = 3

The outcomes that add up to 3 are:

1 + 2 = 3

2 + 1 = 3

(two outcomes out of 36)

12 - 1 = 11

The outcomes that add up to 11 are:

6 + 5 = 11

5 + 6 = 11

(Two outcomes out of 36)

Then 3 and 11 have the same probability, 2/36.

And we can notice the pattern here.

4 and 10 will have the same probability 3/36

5 and 9 will have the same probability 4/36

6 and 8 will have the same probability 5/36

7 is the only option that does not have a pair, the probability is 6/36.

Two trains begin in Milford and end in Pinkerton, which is 300 miles away. Train A leaves Milford at 10:00 a.M. And travels at a
cluponka [151]

Answer:

B. Train B  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that Milford and Pinkerton is 300 miles away.

Train A leaves Milford at 10:00 am. There are 3 hours between 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. So let us find distance traveled by train A in 3 hours.

\text{Distance}=\text{Speed*Time}  

\text{Distance traveled by train A}=90\frac{\text{ miles}}{\text{ hour}}\times 3\text{ hours}

\text{Distance traveled by train A}=90\times 3{\text{ miles}

\text{Distance traveled by train A}=270{\text{ miles}

Since train A will cover 270 miles in 3 hours and distance between Milford and Pinkerton is 300 miles, therefore, train A will not arrive Pinkerton before 1:00 pm.

Since there are 5 hours between 8:00 am to 1:00 pm, so let us find distance traveled by train B in 5 hours.

\text{Distance traveled by train B}=70\frac{\text{ miles}}{\text{ hour}}\times 5\text{ hours}

\text{Distance traveled by train B}=70\times 5 \text{ miles}

\text{Distance traveled by train B}=350\text{ miles}  

Since train B will cover 350 miles in 5 hours, therefore, train B will arrive Pinkerton before 1:00 pm and option B is the correct choice.
