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

Lily saved 16 coins. She saved ten-can and one-dollar coins only. If she had $5.20, how many ten-cent coins did she have?
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

  12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the number of dimes Lily saved. Then the value of her coins in cents is ...

  10d +100(16-d) = 520

  -90d +1600 = 520 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms

  -90d = -1080 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1600

  d = -1080/-90 = 12 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of d

Lily has 12 ten-cent coins.

A triangle has sides which are consecutive odd integers and an
wolverine [178]

Answer:

Perimeter = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the length of each of the 3 sides of the triangle are consecutive odd integers.

Thus means that we can write the 3 terms as;

(x - 2), x, (x + 2)

Thus, perimeter is;

P = (x - 2) + x + (x + 2)

P = 3x

If an angle is 120°, it means that the corresponding side that is directly opposite the angle is the largest side of the triangle.

Thus, this side is (x + 2)

Using cosine rule, we have;

(x + 2)² = x² + (x - 2)² - 2(x(x - 2))cos 120

Expanding, we have;

x² + 4x + 4 = x² + x² - 4x + 4 - (2x² + 4x)(-½)

This reduces to;

4x = x² - 4x + x² - 2x

2x² = 10x

2x = 10

x = 10/2

x = 5

Thus, other sides are;

(x - 2) = 5 - 2 = 3

And (x + 2) = 5 + 2 = 7

So,perimeter is;

P = 3x = 3 × 5 = 15

A card is drawn from a standard 52-card deck. What is the probability that the card is a red 8, given that the card is an 8?
schepotkina [342]
In a deck of cards there are total of 52 cards. But in our case we have to check the probability of red 8, which is either the 8 of diamond or of heart. So the number of events of which we have to find probability is 2. And total number of events is 52. So the probability will be 2/52 = 1/26 = 0.0384615
