Question

Tasha is playing a game with 2 different types of fair geometric objects.

Answer 1

5/48

Explanation:

One object has faces numbered from 1 to 8.

• The sample space of numbers greater than 3 = {4,5,6,7,8}.

Thus:

`P(\text{ rolling a number greater than 3\rparen}=(5)/(8)`

The other object has 6 faces labeled M, N, O, P, Q, and R.

`P(\text{ rolling the letter R\rparen}=(1)/(6)`

Thus, the probability of rolling a number greater than 3 and the number R:

`\begin{gathered} P(number\text{ greater than }4\text{ and R\rparen}=(5)/(8)*(1)/(6) \\ =(5)/(48) \end{gathered}`

The answer is 5/48.
