A group of friends try out a new game that uses a pair of ordinary, fair dice. Points are given to players based on the sum of the two numbers from the rolled pair of dice. If the sum is between 2 and 5, inclusive, the amount of points awarded is the sum minus 1. If the sum is between 6 and 9, inclusive, the amount of points awarded is the sum minus 3. If the sum is between 10 and 12, inclusive, the amount of points awarded is the sum minus 5. Calculate the probability of earning exactly 5 points.

0.2222 = 22.22% probability of earning exactly 5 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Possible outcomes:

For the pair of dice:

(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6)

(2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6)

(3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6)

(4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6)

(5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6)

(6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)

So 36 total outcomes.

If the sum is between 6 and 9, inclusive, the amount of points awarded is the sum minus 3.

Sum of 8 -> 5 points awarded. So

(2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3), (6,2): 5 outcomes.

If the sum is between 10 and 12, inclusive, the amount of points awarded is the sum minus 5.

Sum of 10 -> 5 points awarded. So

(4,6), (5,5), (6,4): 3 outcomes.

Desired outcomes:

5 + 3 = 8

Calculate the probability of earning exactly 5 points.

0.2222 = 22.22% probability of earning exactly 5 points.

y=−9/2x+10

step-by-step explanation:

let's solve for y.

0−9x−2y=−20

step 1: add 9x to both sides.

−9x−2y+9x=−20+9x

−2y=9x−20

step 2: divide both sides by -2.

−2y

7.9m and 4.3°

step-by-step explanation:

let east be +x and north be +y, x = distance * cos θ, y = distance * sin θ  

for 3.5 south, y = -3.5  

for 8.2, x = 8.2 * cos 30 and y = 8.2 * sin 30  

for 15 west, x = -15  

total x = 8.2 * cos 30 – 15 ≈ -7.9  

total y = -3.5 + 8.2 * sin 30 = 0.6  

magnitude = [(8.2 * cos 30 – 15)^2 + 0.6^2)]^0.5  

the magnitude is approximately 7.9 m  

tan θ = y/x = 0.6/-7.9  

the angle is approximately 4.3˚ north of west
