Answer:

Answer:

The probability of obtaining the sum of 10 is 1/12 or 0.0833

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2 fair dice

Required

Probability of obtaining the sum of 10

To solve this, we have to list out the sample space.

Sample space is the total possible sum that can be obtained when she rolls the dice.

Let the first die be represented with S1 and the second be represented with S2.

S1 = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

S2 = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

To get the sample space, we have to add individual elements of S1 and S2.

This is done as follows.

When S1 = 1 and S2 = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Sum = 1+1, 1+2, 1+3, 1+4, 1+5, 1+6

Sum = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

When S1 = 2 and S2 = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Sum = 2+1, 2+2, 2+3, 2+4, 2+5, 2+6

Sum = 3,4,5,6,7,8

Using the same pattern as used above

When S1 = 3 and S2 = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Sum = 4,5,6,7,8,9

When S1 = 4 and S2 = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Sum = 5,6,7,8,9,10

When S1 = 5 and S2 = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Sum = 6,7,8,9,10,11

When S1 = 6 and S2 = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Sum = 7,8,9,10,11,12

Writing out the Sum, will give us the sample space.

Sample Space = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}

The sample space has a total of 36 elements

To calculate the probability of obtaining the sum of 10,

We have to count the number of 10's in the sample space

Number of 10 = 3

Probability = Number of 10 / Number of Sample Space

Probability = 3 / 36

Probability = 1/12

Probability = 0.0833

Hence, the probability of obtaining the sum of 10 is 1/12 or 0.0833

Solve the multi step literal equation: solve equation for A b^2A^2-3g=q
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

A = ± \sqrt{\frac{q+3g}{b^2} }

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

b²A² - 3g = q ( add 3g to both sides )

b²A² = q + 3g ( divide both sides by b² )

A² = \frac{q+3g}{b^2} ( take the square root of both sides )

A = ± \sqrt{\frac{q+3g}{b^2} }

Nth term of this sequence:<br><br> -1,3,7,11
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

What is the sequence? The sequence is +4

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know if you are asking for the ninth or tenth term of the sequence, but I'll just list them all.

-1,    3,     7,     11,     15,     19,     23,     27,     31,    35, ...

|___||___||___||____||___||____||____||____||____|

 +4     +4    +4    +4     +4      +4     +4       +4      +4

So 31 and 35 are your answer!

I hope this helps!
