We can use FOIL to solve.
(x + 7)(x + 10)
(x * x) + (x * 7) + (7 * x) + (7 * 10)
x² + 7x + 7x + 70
x² + 14x + 70
Best of Luck!
Answer:
Observe that the first and the second player have equal probability to get any of number. Using the principle of that symmetry, we have that

<u>Event X = 1 </u>means that the first player has got greater number than the second player, but not than the third player. So, choose any three numbers out of five of them and say that the minimal number out of these three goes to the second player, mean number to the first one and the largest to the third one. Permute remaining two numbers on remaining two people. Hence

<u>Event X = 2</u> means that the first player has got greater number than the second and the third player, but not than the fourth player. So, choose any four numbers out of five of them and say that the minimal number and the next minimal out of these four go to the second and the third player (and permute them), third number to the first one and the largest to the fourth player. Give remaining number to the last person. Hence

<u>Event X = 3</u> means that the first player has got greater number than the second, the third, and the forth player, but not than the fifth player. So, permute these five numbers as follows: give the highest to the last person, the second highest to the first, and permute remaining numbers on the remaining people. Hence

<u>Event X = 4</u> means basically the first player has won all the battles i.e, he has got the greatest number. Hence

Rewrite 7/8 as a decimal by dividing 7 by 8:
7/8 = 0.875
Now to find how much further she has to run subtract where is now from the total distance:
0.875 - 0.3 = 0.575
She needs to run 0.575 miles more
Answer:
m = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
We can suppose that the number we are looking for is for example 5.
(we can do so because the probability is the same for each number - it'sna fair dice)
For the first toss the probability we have 5 is 1/6 (we have 6 numbers on the dice and number 5 is just one of the possible 6 outcomes).
For the second toss the probability we have 5 is again 1/6.
For the rest of 3 tosses we don'tcare what number we will get( we have our two consecutive 5s), so all of the outcomes for the rest of 3 tosses are good for us (probability is 6/6 = 1)
Threfore, the probability to get two consecutive 5s is 1/6 * 1/6 * 1 * 1 * 1 = 1/36.
We can see that m = 1.
