Answer: If you roll two fair six-sided dice, the probability that the sum is 5 or lower is 5/18.

Explanation: Probability can be defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes of an event.

For an experiment having n number of outcomes, the number of favorable outcomes can be denoted by x

Let ‘x’ be the number on the first dice.

‘Y’ be the number on second dice.

We have to find the probability that the sum is 5 or lower i.e. (x + y) <= 5.

Total number of possible results from two six-sided dice is 6 × 6 = 36.

The possible results that the sum is lower than 4 is (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (3,1), (3,2) and (4,1).

Number of possible results for the sum is 5 or lower is 10.

The probability that the sum is 5 or lower = 10/36

=5/18

Therefore, the probability that the sum is 5 or lower is 5/18.

If anybody now this pls help my homework due TOMORROW

Answer:

Part A: D. $y = (x + 1)(x+3)\\$

Part B: C. $3x(x-3) = 0\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

For part A) we just have to plug in 0 for x and solve for y until we find the equation that says 3 is the value for y when x is 0. For purposes of speeding up the process the correct answer is D. I will show how to check for it now.

The equation: $y = (x + 1)(x+3)$

Now plug in 0 for x.

$y = (0 + 1)(0+3)\\$

Now solve.

y = (1)(3)

y = 3

This proves that this is the correct answer.

For part B) we just have to plug in the give values for x separately and check for each value of x that it equals 0. For the purpose of speeding up the process the correct answer is C. I will show how to check for it now.

The equation: $3x(x-3) = 0$

Now plug in x for 0 and solve:

$3* 0 (0-3) = 0\\$

$0(-3) = 0\\$

$0 =0\\$

This equation is true, now we check for the other value of x, 3.

$3*3(3-3) = 0\\$

$9(0) = 0\\$

$0 =0\\$

This is also true so that means this is the correct answer.

Using Pythagoras in the first question
c= $\sqrt{16 ^{2} + 4^{2} } =16.4924$
which is approximately 16.5
for the second question
we also use Pythagoras
$b^2=c^2-a^2$
$\sqrt{13^{2}-12^2}=5$
