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.

How to show numbers are related to each other
ira [324]
Human and non-human species possess a mental system of number representations that appear early in the lifespan and that supports approximate number skills, such as numerical estimation or number comparison. With the later acquisition of language and of symbolic numbers, human beings also develop exact number skills that allow using numbers precisely, such as in counting and arithmetic. The current review points out the behavioral data which either support or challenge these contrasting proposals. In an attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of these mixed data, we carefully took into account the heterogeneity of the available studies regarding the kind of tasks, stimuli or ages of assessment. Also, you can show how the numbers are related simply by identifying the tenth place value of each digit.

Complete the set of ordered pairs for the relation.
neonofarm [45]

The set of ordered pairs is:

{(-2, 2), (-1, 0), (0, 2), (1, 4), (2, 6)}

<h3>How to complete the set of ordered pairs?</h3>

Here we have the relation:

y = 2*|x + 1|

And the domain is x ∈ { -2, -1, 0, 1, 2}

Evaluating in the values of the domain, we get:

if x = -2.

y = 2*|-2 + 1| = 2

Then we have the ordered pair (-2, 2)

if x = -1

y = 2*|-1 + 1| = 0

Then we have the ordered pair (-1, 0)

if x = 0

y = 2*|0 + 1| = 2

Then we have the ordered pair (0, 2)

if x = 1

y = 2*|1 + 1| = 4

Then we have the ordered pair (1, 4)

if x = 2

y = 2*|2 + 1| = 6

Then we have the ordered pair (2, 6)

The set of ordered pairs is:

{(-2, 2), (-1, 0), (0, 2), (1, 4), (2, 6)}
