Answer:

5/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the outcome that a event will occur

Probability = Expected outcome/Total outcome

Since two sided dice are rolled, the total outcome will be expressed as;

Total outcome = 36

Since we are to find the probability that the sum is 8, the values that gives a sum of 8a re;

(2,6)(6,2), (5, 3), (3,5), (4, 4)

The expected outcome = 5

Probability = 5/36

Hence the probability that the sum is 8 is 5/36

Please help! I have no idea how to do this.

11. y=-1/3x-4

Plug the slope into m in y=mx+b and then plug in your point and solve for b. You get C

12. Parallel means it has the same slope or the same m, so the -1/2 stays the same and you plug that and your point into the y=mx+b and solve for b again. You get D, y=-1/2x-9

13. Perpendicular means that the slope is the opposite reciprocal so you flip it and multiply it by -1. You then plug that in for your slope and plug in your points and you get A, y=9x+13

A minor league baseball team plays 128 games a seanson. If the tam won 16 more than three times as many games as they lost how m

tiny-mole [99]

Answer: The team won 100 games and losses 28 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of games won denoted by x and the games lost is denoted by y .

Given : A minor league baseball team plays 128 games in a season.

Team won 16 more than three times as many games as they lost.

Then, the system of equations, we have

$x+y=128-------(1)\\\\x=3y+16------------(2)$

We can rewrite equation (2) as $x-3y=16----------------(3)$

Now, Eliminate equation (3) from (1), we get

$y-(-3y)=128-16\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4y=112\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=\dfrac{112}{4}=28$

Substitute the value of y in (2), we get

$x=3(28)+16=84+16=100$

Hence, the team won 100 games and losses 28 games.

In a packet of stickers there are 15 small stars, 7 big stars, 9 small rockets, and 6 big rockets. Kevin is going to choose one

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

31/37

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 15 + 7 + 9 + 6 = 37 total stickers. Of those, 15 + 9 = 24 are small and 15 + 7 = 22 are stars. However, there are 15 small stars so 24 - 15 = 9 of them are only small and 22 - 15 = 7 are only stars. This means that there are 15 + 9 + 7 = 31 stickers that are small or stars, therefore the probability is 31/37.
