Answer:

$\huge\boxed{8s}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression can be broken down into a couple of parts.

A term (like 10s, or -2s)
The variable (what the unknown value is being represented by, in this case, s)
The coefficient (the number next to the variable, showing what to multiply the variable by - in this case, 10 and -2)

When we have multiple terms with the same variable, we can perform operations on them assuming they have the same variable - for example, 5x + 6x = 11x, as 5+6=11.

We can apply the same logic here, however, note that adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive. For example, 5 + -2 is the same as 5-2.

$10 - 2 = 8$

Therefore, our final expression is $8s$ .

Hope this helped!

Lua has a red ribbon that is 2 1/12 inches long she has a blue ribbon that is 4 times as many inches long. how many inches long

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The length of the blue ribbon is approximately 8.333 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are as follows;

The given length of the red ribbon = 2 1/12 inches

The length of the blue ribbon is given as 4 × The length of the red ribbon

Therefore;

The length of the blue ribbon = 4 × 2 1/12 inches = 25/3 inches = 8 1/3 inches

The length of the blue ribbon = 8 1/3 inches ≈ 8.333 inches.

We have two fair three-sided dice, indexed by i = 1, 2. Each die has sides labeled 1, 2, and 3. We roll the two dice independent

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

(a) P(X = 0) = 1/3

(b) P(X = 1) = 2/9

(d) P(X = 3) = 0

(a) P(Y = 0) = 0

(b) P(Y = 1) = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Two 3-sided fair die.

- Random Variable X_1 denotes the number you get for rolling 1st die.

- Random Variable X_2 denotes the number you get for rolling 2nd die.

- Random Variable X = X_2 - X_1.

Solution:

- First we will develop a probability distribution of X such that it is defined by the difference of second and first roll of die.

- Possible outcomes of X : { - 2 , -1 , 0 ,1 , 2 }

- The corresponding probabilities for each outcome are:

( X = -2 ): { X_2 = 1 , X_1 = 3 }

P ( X = -2 ): P ( X_2 = 1 ) * P ( X_1 = 3 )

: ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 )

: ( 1 / 9 )

( X = -1 ): { X_2 = 1 , X_1 = 2 } + { X_2 = 2 , X_1 = 3 }

P ( X = -1 ): P ( X_2 = 1 ) * P ( X_1 = 3 ) + P ( X_2 = 2 ) * P ( X_1 = 3)

: ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) + ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 )

: ( 2 / 9 )

( X = 0 ): { X_2 = 1 , X_1 = 1 } + { X_2 = 2 , X_1 = 2 } + { X_2 = 3 , X_1 = 3 }

P ( X = -1 ):P ( X_2 = 1 )*P ( X_1 = 1 )+P( X_2 = 2 )*P ( X_1 = 2)+P( X_2 = 3 )*P ( X_1 = 3)

: ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) + ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) + ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 )

: ( 3 / 9 ) = ( 1 / 3 )

( X = 1 ): { X_2 = 2 , X_1 = 1 } + { X_2 = 3 , X_1 = 2 }

P ( X = 1 ): P ( X_2 = 2 ) * P ( X_1 = 1 ) + P ( X_2 = 3 ) * P ( X_1 = 2)

: ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) + ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 )

: ( 2 / 9 )

( X = 2 ): { X_2 = 1 , X_1 = 3 }

P ( X = 2 ): P ( X_2 = 3 ) * P ( X_1 = 1 )

: ( 1 / 3 ) * ( 1 / 3 )

: ( 1 / 9 )

- The distribution Y = X_2,

P(Y=0) = 0

P(Y=1) = 1/3

P(Y=2) = 1/ 3

- The probability for each number of 3 sided die is same = 1 / 3.
