Consider the game where two dice, die A and die B, are rolled. We say that die A wins, and write A > B, if the outcome of rol

ling A is larger than that of rolling B. If both rolls result in the same number it is a tie.

Answer:

a) The probability of a tie is the probability of getting the same outcome in both dice.

First, we roll die A and we get a given outcome. (here the probability is 1 because there is no restriction)

Now we need to roll die B and get the same outcome, so here we have only one possible outcome out of 6, then in this case the probability is 1/6

The joint probability (the product of the individual probabilities) is: P =  1*(1/6) = 1/6

b) We want to find the probability that die A wins.

Here we need to analyze each possible outcome for die A.

Let's define:

pₙ = probability of winning given that the outcome is n.

If the outcome is a 1, die A can only lose or tie, then here:

p₁ = 0

If the outcome is a 2, then die A only wins if die B rolls a 1, (1 outcome out of 6)

Then the probability of winning is:

p₂ = 1/6

If the outcome is a 3, then die A wins if die B rolls a 1 or a 2, here we have two possible outcomes out of 6.

p₃ = 2/6

We already can see the pattern, if the outcome is a 4, we get:

p₄ = 3/6

if the outcome is a 5:

p₅ = 4/6

if the outcome is a 6:

p₆ = 5/6

The total probability is the sum of all the joint probabilities:

For each roll in dice A, the probability is 1/6 (the probability of getting a given outcome)

Then the probability that die A wins is:

P = (1/6)*p₁ + (1/6)*p₂ + ... = (1/6)*(p₁ + p₂ + p₃ + p₄ + p₅ + p₆)

P = (1/6)*(0 + 1/6 + 2/6 + 3/6 + 4/6 + 5/6)

P = (1/6)*(15/6) = 0.4167

Given the arithmetic sequence an = 4 + 8(n − 1), what is the domain for n?
Svetach [21]
N represents which term
so we can have the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc, to the nth term
so n has to be all integers starting with 1 and up
so that would be the option: "All integers where n≥1"

answer is 2nd option

Put in order from least to greater3/8,3/4,5/6,1/2
Korvikt [17]
Expressing the numbers in decimal, we have:
3/8 = 0.375
3/4 = 0.75
5/6 = 0.833
1/2 = 0.5

From least to greatest, we have: 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, 5/6

Graph the given inequality.<br> -3 &gt; n<br> How do I do this?
Lelu [443]

-3 > n is the same as n < -3 after you flip both sides and flip the inequality.

To graph this, we place an open hole at -3 on the number line. Then we shade to the left to indicate all values smaller than -3. The open hole says "the endpoint is not included". This is because -3 is not smaller than itself.

We would have a filled in circle if we had "or equal to" as part of the inequality, but we don't.

The graph is shown below.
