Answer:

1.The random variable X can take any value from( 2,- ----,12) in the event of the sample space.

2.The sample space S = [(1, 1), (1, 2),(2, 1), (1, 3),  (2, 2),(3, 1),  (1, 4),(2, 3),(3, 2),(4, 1), (1, 5),(2, 4), (3, 3),(4, 2),(5, 1),(1, 6),  (2, 5),(3, 4),(4, 3),(5, 2), (6, 1),   (2, 6),(3, 5),   (4, 4), (5, 3), (6, 2),(3, 6), (4, 5),  (5, 4), (6, 3),(4, 6) (5, 5), (6, 4),(5,6),  (6,5),(6,6)]

3. The probability of getting a 4 =   1/12

4. The probability of getting a 12 = 1/36

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 36 outcomes in all and the event shows the possible numbers obtained after the sum .

The event will be E= [ 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]

The random variable X can take any value from( 2,- ----,12) in the event of the sample space.

The sample space S = [(1, 1), (1, 2),(2, 1), (1, 3),  (2, 2),(3, 1),  (1, 4),(2, 3),(3, 2),(4, 1), (1, 5),(2, 4), (3, 3),(4, 2),(5, 1),(1, 6),  (2, 5),(3, 4),(4, 3),(5, 2), (6, 1),   (2, 6),(3, 5),   (4, 4), (5, 3), (6, 2),(3, 6), (4, 5),  (5, 4), (6, 3),(4, 6) (5, 5), (6, 4),(5,6),  (6,5),(6,6)]

that is it has all the possible outcomes of both the dice.

The probability of getting a 4= Number of fav outcome/ no of possible outcomes=  3/ 36= 1/12

The probability of getting a 12= Number of fav outcome/ no of possible outcomes=1/36

qaws [65]
The roof will be in the shape of an isosceles triangle with a base length of 30 m and two sides that are 17 m. The two 17 m beams will have the same angle of elevation since they have to might in the middle.

So to find the angle of elevation, we can split the roof in half vertically to create a right triangle. The base will now be 15 m, and the hypotenuse will be 17. Now we can use a trigonometry function to solve for the angle. We know the hypotenuse and the side adjacent to the angle, so we can use cosine.

cos(\theta) =  \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

cos(\theta)= \frac{15}{17}

cos^{-1}( \frac{15}{17})=\theta

\theta = 28.1^{\circ}

The answer  is 28.1 degrees
