Probability = (number of ways to succeed) / (total possible outcomes) .
The total possible results of rolling two dice is
(6 on the first cube) x (6 on the second one) = 36 possibilities.
How many are successful ? I need you to clarify something first.
You said that the 'second die' shows an odd number. When a pair
of dice is rolled, the problem usually doesn't distinguish between them.
And in fact, you said that they're "tossed together" (like a spinach and
arugula salad ?) so I would understand that they would lose their identity
unless they were, say, painted different colors, and we wouldn't know
which one is the second one.
Oh well, I'll just work it both ways:
First way:
Two identical dice are tossed.
The total is 5 and ONE cube shows an odd number.
How can that happen ?
1 ... 4
4 ... 1
3 ... 2
2 ... 3
Four possibilities. Probability = 4/36 = 1/9 = 11.1% .
=======================================
Second way:
A black and a white cube are tossed together.
The total is 5 and the white cube shows an odd number.
How can that happen:
B ... W
4 .... 1
2 .... 3
Only two possibilities. Probability = 2/36 = 1/18 = 5.6% .
Answer:
5n-t/7
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of 5 and n puts them in the same category and product means times and your going to minus t divided by 7
Answer:
8/50
Step-by-step explanation:
you would take the number of that colored marble which in this case is green so now we have our numerator which is 8 next we are going to add all of the amount of numbers including the green and we get 50 and 50 is our denominator.
Answers:
x = -8/5 or x = 8/5
Sum of the first ten terms where all terms are positive = 4092
========================================================
Explanation:
r = common ratio
- first term = 4
- second term = (first term)*(common ratio) = 4r
- third term = (second term)*(common ratio) = (4r)*r = 4r^2
The first three terms are: 4, 4r, 4r^2
We're given that the sequence is: 4, 5x, 16
Therefore, we have these two equations
Solve the second equation for r and you should find that r = -2 or r = 2 are the only possible solutions. If r = -2, then 5x = 4r solves to x = -8/5. If r = 2, then 5x = 4r solves to x = 8/5.
-----------------
To find the sum of the first n terms, we use this geometric series formula
Sn = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
We have
- a = 4 = first term
- r = 2, since we want all the terms to be positive
- n = 10 = number of terms to sum up
So,
Sn = a*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
S10 = 4*(1 - 2^10)/(1 - 2)
S10 = 4*(1 - 1024)/(-1)
S10 = 4*(-1023)/(-1)
S10 = 4092
