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

5m<6m+6 pls help me ​
torisob [31]

Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.

5m<6m+6

Step 1: Subtract 6m from both sides.

5m−6m<6m+6−6m

−m<6

Step 2: Divide both sides by -1.

−m / −1 < 6 / −1

m>−6

Answer:

m>−6

Problem page isabel runs 7 miles in 50 minutes. at the same rate, how many miles would she run in 75 minutes?
sammy [17]
<span>if isabel runs 7 miles in 50 minutes, then you know she runs 7/50 miles in one minute, right? So multiply that by the number of minutes she did run, and you can find the distance:


</span><span> 7
------ x 75 =
50


525
------
50


</span><span> If you plug that fraction into your calculator, you get 10.5, so 10 and a half miles.</span>
