Jason and Maria are playing a board game in which three dice are tossed to determine a player's move. Find each probability for:
fredd [130]
Tossing a die will have 6 possible outcomes. Those are having sides that are number 1 to 6. The sample space of tossing 3 dice is equal to 6³ which is equal to 216. Now for the calculation of probabilities,

P(two 5s) = (1 x 1 x 5)/216
As we have to have the 5 in the die for two times, then for the 1 time, we can have all other numbers except 5. The answer is 5/216. 

P(three 5s) = (1 x 1 x 1)/216   = 1/216

P(one 5 or two 5s)  = (1 x 5 x 5)/216 + (1 x 1 x 5)/216 = 5/36

A rectangle has a length of x + 5 and width of x - 3. What is the area of the rectangle? Write the answer as a polynomial in sta
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = length * width

length: x + 3

width: x - 5

A = (x + 3)(x - 5)

Simplify (x + 3)(x - 5) using the FOIL method:

 

1. First numbers: multiply the first number of each binomial together--x*x = x%5E2

2. Outer numbers: multiply the outer number of each binomial (out of the entire expression, the number farthest to the left (x) and the number farthest to the right (-5))--x*-5 = -5x

3. Inner numbers: multiply the inner number of each binomial--3*x = 3x

4. Last numbers: multiply the last number of each binomial--3*-5 = -15

==> Now, add all of the results together and combine like terms: x%5E2+-+5x+%2B+3x+-+15 = x%5E2+-+2x+-+15

Therefore, A = x%5E2+-+2x+-+15
