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

Which of the following is(are) the solution(s) to |5x+2|=8 ?
slega [8]

Answer:

x = 6/5 or x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve:

|5x+2|=8

We know that |u|=a the u = a and u = -a

Now solving:

|5x+2|=8

5x +2 = 8 or 5x +2 = -8

5x = 8-2 or 5x = -8-2

5x = 6 or 5x = -10

x = 6/5 or x = -10/5

x = 6/5 or x = -2

So, x = 6/5 or x = -2

Find f (2b^2) for (x)=x^2-4x
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

f(x) = x^2 - 4x

And we want to find:

\displaystyle f(2b^2)

Substitute:

\displaystyle f(2b^2) =(2b^2)^2 -4(2b^2)

And evaluate:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned}  f(2b^2) &=(2b^2)^2 -4(2b^2) \\ &=(4b^4) +(-8b^2) \\ &= 4b^4 - 8b^2 \end{aligned}

In conclusion, our answer is A.
