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

The mean temperature for the first 4 days in january was 1°C. The mean temperature of the first 5 days in January was 2°C. What
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

mean is average, so if we label the first through fifth days of january a-e we can solve it.

So average of the first four is (a+b+c+d)/4 = 1 and the first five is (a+b+c+d+e)/5 = 2.  Since it's easy, let's get rid of the fraction in both.

(a+b+c+d)/4 = 1 and (a+b+c+d+e)/5 = 2

a+b+c+d = 4 and a+b+c+d+e = 10

Now, we know a+b+c+d is 4, so we can replace that in the second equation

a+b+c+d+e = 10

4 + e = 10

e = 6

ad since e is the fifth day, we know the temperature of it.  Let me know if something here didn't make sense.

If sally study’s math 1.5 hours a day predict her math grade based on the scatter plot above
allsm [11]

Answer:

Approximate marks sally get = 95%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sally's study time = 1.5 hour = 1.5 × 60 = 90 minute

Find:

Approximate marks sally get.

Computation:

Number of minute sally study = 1.5 × 60

Number of minute sally study = 90 minutes

Using graph,

Vertical line on 90 minutes shows 95% , we can say that the person who study 90 minutes per day get 95% marks

So,

Approximate marks sally get = 95%
