OpenStudy (camper4834):

1/8 why? because 1/2 for the first head. times 1/2 for the second head. times 1/2 for the third head

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 1/8?

OpenStudy (camper4834):

yes for the first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you can u help me answer the other ones please?

OpenStudy (camper4834):

also it doesn't matter if you threw three coins at the same time or if you used the same one over and over again

OpenStudy (camper4834):

for the next one we want the dice to look like 1 and 5 2 and 4 3 and 3 4 and 2 5 and 1

OpenStudy (camper4834):

thats 5 different ways you can throw the dice to add to six right?

OpenStudy (camper4834):

but how many TOTAL ways can you throw the dice?

OpenStudy (camper4834):

6 times 6 because if you know how to do "combinations" you multiply 6 sides of the first dice by six sides of the second die

OpenStudy (camper4834):

5 out of 36 is the answer to the second question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg thank you so much an i have help on the last one too?

OpenStudy (camper4834):

lets walk through this one

OpenStudy (camper4834):

i just said that there are 36 ways your dice can be in, you know like 1 1 1 2 1 3

OpenStudy (camper4834):

why don't you count how many of those will have threes in them?

OpenStudy (camper4834):

take a look at this picture

OpenStudy (camper4834):

it shows the many different ways you can throw two dice

OpenStudy (camper4834):
