In a game called taxation and evasion, a player rolls a pair of dice. if on any turn the sum is 7, 11, or 12, the player gets audited. otherwise, she avoids taxes. suppose a player takes 5 turns at rolling the dice. the probability that she gets audited no more than 2 times is

The probability that she gets audited no more than 2 times is 0.896482...

As, a pair of dice are rolling here, so the number of total possible outcome = (6×6) = 36

For Sum = 7 , the favorable outcomes are: (1,6) (2,5) (3,4) (4,3) (5,2) and (6,1)

For Sum = 11 , the favorable outcomes are: (5,6) and (6,5)

For Sum = 12 , the favorable outcome is: (6,6)

Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes)÷(Number of total outcomes)

So,

P( 7 or 11 or 12) =

Here the total number of trials = 5 and the probability of getting audited =

According the binomial distribution formula:

P(X) = (ⁿCₓ )(P)ˣ (1-P)ⁿ⁻ˣ

where P(X) is the probability of x successes out of n trials

Here, n= 5 and P = 1/4 and we need to find the probability of getting audited no more than 2 times. This means she can gets audited 0, 1 or 2 times.

So,

So, the probability that she gets audited no more than 2 times is 0.896482...

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
