Answer 3

P( `tail` and `a six` ) is read as :

Probability for getting a `tail` on coin AND getting `a six` on number cube

Answer 4

Do you know how to find the probability of getting a `tail` on coin ?

Answer 5

No, I do not

Answer 6

it means you get a tail on the coin and a six on the die

Answer 7

I was going to guess that the probability of getting a tails would be 1/2 because there's two sides? But I don't think that's right.

Answer 8

of course it is right!

Answer 9

That was a right guess!

Answer 10

Oh, really? yay:D

Answer 11

see if u can make a guess about getting `a six` on number cube

Answer 12

bet you know for the die too right? how many sides of a cube?

Answer 13

Well if there's six sides then..Wouldn't it be 1/6? Because there's only one side out of six that has a six on it?

Answer 14

Okay..so...Does that make the answer 1/12?

Answer 15

Looks good !

Answer 16

Alright :3 Thank you mucho for helping! I've got a few other questions I may need help with too haha.

Answer 17

yw:)

Answer 18

Alright..This one has way too many words for me to comprehend in mathematical terms xD So if you'd possibly be so polite as to walk me through this one too haha.

Answer 19

So total how many tiles are there in the bag ?

Answer 20

Umm. 36?

Answer 21

Oh would it become 21/36 times 15/36?

Answer 22

Exactly !

Answer 23

Okay..so then the answer would be.. 35/144?

Answer 24

Yep

Answer 25

oh my god I feel so smart xD Thank youuuu.

Answer 26

For this, would it become 5/6 multiplied by 3/6?

Answer 27

Because..there's six numbers on a dice..So that would mean there there are five other numbers that are above 2...And then for the second fraction, there's three odd numbers on a dice..? Is this correct?

Answer 28

are you really sure there are 5 other numbers above 2 ?

Answer 29

list them

Answer 30

Oh my god wait no there's 4..

Answer 31

Yes!

Answer 32

Alright..So..The answer..Would be 1/3??

Answer 33

I like how my brain pauses somehow transfer themselves to my typing without my meaning to haha.

Answer 34

Perfect!

Answer 35

Oh my gosshhhh. Yay :D

Answer 36

For this. would the answer be 28/121? Because there's four vowels in the word...So that'd be 4/11. Then there's 7 other letters that aren't vowels..So that'd be 7/11. So then those multiplied would be 28/121..am I right?

Answer 37

Careful, you're taking a card out and not putting it back in the bowl

Answer 38

Oh shoot I forgot xD

Answer 39

when you pick the card for first time, there are a total of 11 cards in the bowl

but the second time, there are only 10 cards right ?

Answer 40

Yes..So would that make it 4/10 times 7/10?

Answer 41

Wait, wouldn't it become 3/10 and 6/10 actually?

Answer 42

first time you still have 11 cards so.. probability for picking a vowel the first time would still be 4/11

Answer 43

after picking an vowel, you will be left with only 10 cards in the bowl

Answer 44

out of which 7 cards are consonants so the probability for picking consonants would b 7/10

Answer 45

ohhh. So 4/11 and 7/10?

Answer 46

Yep!

Answer 47

So..14/55?

Answer 48

thats right!

Answer 49

Okay. So. My thoughts for this are that it would become 5/11 times 4/10. Because there's five oranges out of the 11 present, so there's five chances for him to get an orange. But then after he takes out his one fruit, it takes down the total to 10, and there are four apples, providing the girl with four chances to get an apple. And then the answer would become 2/11.

Looks good !
