Multiply the numerators together and the denominators to get the ending fraction.
Ex: 3/4 x 3/4 = 9/16, and simplify if needed.
You can roll a total of 6 by rolling (1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 3), (4, 2), or (5, 1). There are 36 total possible rolls that can be obtained, so you roll a total of 6 with probability 5/36.
You can roll a total of 11 by rolling (5, 6) or (6, 5), hence with probability 2/36 = 1/18.
Any of the other remaining 29 outcomes occurs with probability 29/36.
The expected value of your winnings is
$18*5/36 + $72*1/18 - $9*29/36 = -$0.75
so the answer is E.
To write the polynomial in descending order, arrange the terms from the highest to the lowest degree. Simply base on the exponents of the variable x. You have 3, 12, 1 and 7. In descending order, that would be: 12, 7, 3 and then 1. The answer is D.
Each result is equally likely to occur!!
