You are playing a board game with your little sister. Moves are determined by rolling 2 six-sided dice. The red die tells you th

e direction of your move, and has 4 faces
that say "forward and 2 faces that say backward." The green die tells you how far to move, and has 1. 1. 2.2.3, and 4 on the faces. On your turn, what is the
probability that you move backward 2 spaces

Answer: The probability is 1/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's define the possible outcomes of each dice:

Red: Forward (4 times), Backward (2 times)

Green : {1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4}

We want to find the probability of moving backward 2 spaces.

Then we need to find the probability of rolling a "backward" in the red dice, and a 2 in the green dice.

First, the probability of rolling a backward in the red dice is equal to the quotient between the number of outcomes that are "backward", and the total number of outcomes in the dice (there are 2 backwards and 6 outcomes in total), this is:

p1 = 2/6 = 1/3.

And the probability of rolling a 2 in the green dice is equal to the quotient between the number of outcomes with a 2, and the total number of outcomes. (The 2 appears two times, and there are 6 possible outcomes):

p2 = 2/6 = 1/3.

Now, the probability of both events happening at the same time is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, then the probability of moving backwards 2 spaces is:

P = p1*p2 = (1/3)*(1/3) = 1/9.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a basketball coach will select the members of a five-player team from among 9 players, including John and Peter.

Out of nine players five are chosen at random.

The team consists of John and Peter.

Hence we can sort 9 players as I group, John and Peter and II group 7 players.

Now the selection is 2 from I group and remaining 3 from II group.

Hence no of ways of selecting a team that includes both John and Peter=2C2*7C3=35

Total no of ways = 9C5=126

= \frac{2C2*7C3}{9C5}=\frac{35}{126} =\frac{5}{18}

Victor plants 56 seeds in some flower pots if he puts 7 seeds in each pot how many flower pots does he have
Papessa [141]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The total seeds Victor plants in the flower pots=56

He puts 7 seeds in each pot.

So to find the number of pots;

You need to divide the total seeds(56) by the seeds put in each(7)

So it's going to be;

56÷7

=8

Therefore the total number of flower pots is 8.
