50 points and brainless 1. In a board game, you must roll two 6-sided number cubes. You can only start the game if you roll a 3 on at least one of the number cubes.
(a) Make a list of all the different possible outcomes when two number cubes are rolled.

(b) What fraction of the possible outcomes is favorable?

(c) Suppose you rolled the two number cubes 100 times, would you expect at least one 3 more or less than 34 times? Explain.

The answer for (a) is

1, 1     2, 2    3, 3    4, 4    5, 5    6, 6

1, 2    2, 3    3, 4    4, 5    5, 6

1, 3    2, 4    3, 5    4, 6

1, 4    2, 5    3, 6

1, 5    2, 6

1, 6    

The answer for (b) is 6/21 or 0.285714286

The answer for (c) is Less than. {its in the explanation}

Explanation:

(a)- Its not really hard, it just takes a bit of time.

(b)- The total number of possibilities is 21. Favorable outcomes would have a 3 as one of the dice, and only 6 of the 21 outcomes has a 3. (they are in bold)

There are only 21 possible outcomes because the prompt says "Make a list of all the different possible outcomes." For example: I have 3, 4 as an outcome, but not 4, 3 because that would be the same outcome.

(c)- Less than, because the possibility of getting an outcome with at least one 3 is only 0.285714286. If you multiply that by 100, thats only 28.5714286, or 29, still less than 34.

=====================================

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

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

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer
