Consider the experiment of rolling two standard (six-sided) dice and taking their sum. Assume that each die lands on each of its faces equally often. We consider the outcomes of this experiment to be the ordered pairs of numbers on the dice, and the events of interest to be the different sums. (a) How many outcomes does this experiment have

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

2 standard six sided dice are rolled :

Die 1 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Die 2 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Outcome = ordered pair of Number on the two dice

Event = different sum of the ordered pair of numbers.

The number of outcomes in the experiment = the sample space =) number of Faces)^number of dies

= 6^2

= 36 different outcomes

guess at question:

a vertical line intersects the graph of g(x,y) = 0 at two points. what conclusion follows about the function f(x) implicitly defined by g(x,f(x)) = 0?

the domain of f(x) cannot include the x coordinate of any such vertical line.

informally, f(x) is not a function, and

g(x,y)=0 cannot be solved for y uniquely.

the relation r = {(x,y) such that g(x,y) = 0} is a function if

for all (a,b) ∊ r and (c,d) ∊ r, a=c implies b=d.
