Three dice are rolled. Let the random variable x represent the sum of the 3 dice. By assuming that each of the 63 possible outcomes is equally likely, find the probability that x equals 11.

In decimal form, 1/8 = 0.125 which converts to 12.5%

Work Shown:

The 63 should be 6^3. There are 6 choices per slot, and 3 slots, so 6^3 = 216 different outcomes.

Here are all of the ways to add to 11 if we had 3 dice

There are 27 ways to add to 11  using 3 dice. This is out of 216 total outcomes of 3 dice being rolled.

So, 27/216 = (1*27)/(8*27) = 1/8 is the probability of getting 3 dice to add to 11.

step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
