Answer: $X=-5\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:X=7$

Step-by-step explanation:

$18=3\left|X-1\right|$

$3\left|X-1\right|=18$

$\frac{3\left|X-1\right|}{3}=\frac{18}{3}$

$\left|X-1\right|=6$

$X-1=-6\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:X-1=6$

$X=-5\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:X=7$

We roll two fair 6-sided dice. Each of the 36 possible outcomes is assumed to be equally likely. (a) Given that the roll results

boyakko [2]

Answer:

a) $\frac{1}{7}$

b) $\frac{2}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : We roll two fair 6-sided dice. Each of the 36 possible outcomes is assumed to be equally likely.

The outcomes are :

(1, 1) (1, 2) (1, 3) (1, 4) (1, 5) (1, 6)

(2, 1) (2, 2) (2, 3) (2, 4) (2, 5) (2, 6)

(3, 1) (3, 2) (3, 3) (3, 4) (3, 5) (3, 6)

(4, 1) (4, 2) (4, 3) (4, 4) (4, 5) (4, 6)

(5, 1) (5, 2) (5, 3) (5, 4) (5, 5) (5, 6)

(6, 1) (6, 2) (6, 3) (6, 4) (6, 5) (6, 6)

(a) Given that the roll results in a sum of 3 or more, find the conditional probability that doubles (the first and the second rolls result in the same number) are rolled.

Let P(A) be the probability of event that the roll results in a sum of 3 or more.

Except (1,1) rest sum is 3 or greater than 3.

So, $P(A)=\frac{35}{36}$

Now, P(A and B) is that the roll results in a sum of 3 or more and that doubles (the first and the second rolls result in the same number) are rolled.

i.e. (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6) - 5

$P(A\cap B)=\frac{5}{36}$

The conditional probability is given by,

$P(B|A)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}$

$P(B|A)=\frac{\frac{5}{36}}{\frac{35}{36}}$

$P(B|A)=\frac{5}{35}$

$P(B|A)=\frac{1}{7}$

(b) Given that the two dice land on different numbers, find the conditional probability that the sum is 5.

Let P(A) be the probability of event that two dice land on different numbers.

Except (1,1),(2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6) rest two dice land on different numbers.

So, $P(A)=\frac{30}{36}$

Now, P(A and B) is that two dice land on different numbers and the sum is 5.

i.e. (1,4), (2,3), (3,2), (4,1) - 4

$P(A\cap B)=\frac{4}{36}$

The conditional probability is given by,

$P(B|A)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}$

$P(B|A)=\frac{\frac{4}{36}}{\frac{30}{36}}$

$P(B|A)=\frac{4}{30}$

$P(B|A)=\frac{2}{15}$

Two cards are drawn, without replacement, from a standard 52-card deck. Find the probability of each of the following events: a)

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that two cards are drawn, without replacement, from a standard 52-card deck.

a) Both cards are red

Here there are 26 red cards and 52 total cards.

Probability = $\frac{26C2}{52C2} \\=\frac{26*25}{52*51} \\=\frac{25}{102}$

b) Both cards are the same color

i.e. either both are red or both are black

Hence probability = twice of part a

= $\frac{2*25}{102} \\=\frac{25}{51}$

c) The second card is a queen, given that the first card is an ace.

If first card is an ace remaining are 51 cards with 4 queens\

So prob = 4/51

Molly has 4x + $10 and Ron has 20 - 5 x dollars how much money do they have altogether and how much money does Molly have been R

pickupchik [31]

Subtract them, just like you added:
4x + 10 - (-5x +20)
The minus turns (-5x + 20) into the opposite, or 5x - 20
4x + 10 + 5x - 20
9x - 10
I really hope this helps.
