Step-by-step explanation:

a) Lets start by giving the

The probability distribution of X is:

$P(X=x)=\frac{1}{6}$

For every x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Same for Y:

$P(Y=y)=\frac{1}{6}$

For every y = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

This is because each variable has 6 possibilities which are equiprobable. In other words, every number (1 to 6) has the same probability of falling uppermost on each dice.

Now if the question refers to a joint probability distribution, then we have a joint random viariable (X,Y). This probability is given by:

$P[(X,Y)=(x,y)] = \frac{1}{36}$

For every x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and y = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

The reason for this is that the combination of the result of both dices produces 36 equiprobable possibilities.

b) For the probability distribution of the sum of the variables we may define:

Z=X+Y

The for the random variable Z the next results are possible:

Z P(Z)

2 1/36

3 2/36

4 3/36

5 4/36

6 5/36

7 6/36

8 5/36

9 4/36

10 3/36

11 2/36

12 1/36

This is our probability distribution for the sum of X+Y. Now to understand the results lets see some examples:

For z = 2 (x=1 and y=1) we obtain the probability $P(Z=2)=\frac{1}{36}$ , this is because we have 1 possibility to obtain (1,1) among 36 possibilities.

For z = 4 that is for (x=1, y=3) and (x=2, y=2) and (x=3, y=1) we obtain $P(Z=4)=\frac{3}{36}$ this is because we have 3 possibilities to obtain any of the combinations mentioned among 36 possibilities.

For z = 10 that is for (x=4, y=6) and (x=5, y=5) and (x=6, y=6) we obtain $P(Z=4)=\frac{3}{36}$ because we have 3 possibilities to obtain any of the combinations mentioned among 36 possibilities.

Answer from: Quest

54 km / hours

step-by-step explanation:

we need to convert seconds to hours

60 seconds = 1 minutes

60 minutes = 1hour

15 m 60 second 60 minutes

* * = 54000 meters/ hour

second 1 minute 1 hour

now we need to convert meters to km

1000 m = 1 km

54000 m 1 km

* = 54 km / hours

hour 1000m

Jonathan pays $1.90 per pound for potatoes. he buys 8.3 pounds of potatoes. he determines that he will pay $15.77, before tax, for the potatoes. which best describes the reasonableness of jonathan’s solution? jonathan’s answer is reasonable because there are two decimal places in the factors and two in the product. jonathan’s answer is unreasonable because there are three decimal places in the factors and two in the product. jonathan’s answer is reasonable because is 16, and 16 is close to 15.77. jonathan’s answer is unreasonable because is 8, and 8 is not very close to 15.77.
