An ordinary (falr) dle is a cube with the numbers 1 through 6 on the sides (represented by painted spots). Imagine that such a d

le is rolled twice in succession
and that the face values of the two rolls are added together. This sum is recorded as the outcome of a single trial of a random experiment.
Compute the probability of each of the following events.
Event A: The sum is greater than 8.
Event B: The sum is divisible by 5.

By finding the number of outcomes that meet each criteria, we will see that the probabilities are:

  • A) P = 0.25
  • B) P = 7/36 = 0.194

<h3>How to find the probability?</h3>

We know that the fair die has 6 outcomes, so if we roll it twice, there are a total of:

6*6 = 36 outcomes.

To find the probability of getting a given event, we need to find the number of outcomes that make the event true.

A) The sum is greater than 8.

The outcomes that make this true are:

first roll    second roll     sum

 4                   5                 9

 4                   6                 10

5                     5                10

5                    6                 11

6                     3                 9

6                    4                 10

6                     5                11

6                     6                  12

3                     6                   9

So there are 9 outcomes whose sum is greater than 8, so the probability to getting this event is:

P = 9/36 = 0.25

B) The sum is divisible by 5.

The sum must be 5 or 10, the outcomes that give that are:

first roll    second roll     sum

   1                   4                 5

   2                  3                 5

   3                  2                 5

   1                   4                 5

   4                   6                10

  5                    5                10

   6                   4                 10

There are 7 outcomes, so the probability is:

P = 7/36 = 0.194

A line passes through (4, 5) and (8, 9). Which equation best represents the line?
Alborosie

Answer:

A) y=x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(9-5)/(8-4)=4/4=1

y-5=1(x-4)

y-5=x-4

y=x-4+5

y=x+1

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

The smallest number that is divisible by two given numbers is called the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of those numbers.

What's the smallest number that is a multiple of 8 and also a multiple of 18?

One way to find out is to start making lists of multiples:

Multiples of 8:  8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, and so on,

Multiples of 18:  18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, and so on.

This method can be a bit tedious, but in this case, it's clear that 72 is the LCM of 8 and 18.

Another method is to use the <u>prime factorization</u> of the two numbers.

Write 8 and 18 as the product of prime numbers; each number has a unique prime factorization.

8 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 2^3

18 = 2 x 3 x 3 = 2^1 x 3^2

To form the LCM, build a product of primes using the <u>highest exponent</u> in either of the two numbers.

LCM = 2^3 x 3^2 = 8 x 9 = 72.
