Consider the dice A, B, and C below. The opposite sides have the same values as those shown.
A(2,9,4) B(1,8,6) C(3,7,5)
a) If A is rolled against B with the higher number the winner, which should you bet on? Why?
Explain in terms of probability.
b) What if B is rolled against C?
c) Now what about C against A?

a) A

b) B

c) C

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9 different outcomes when 2 die are rolled.

a) A & B : A has a higher chance of winning, i.e probability of 5/9

(A,B) : (2,1) (9,1) (9,8) (9,6) (4,1)

In other 4 possible outcomes, B will win which is a probability of 4/9 (less than 5/9)

b) B & C: B has a higher chance of winning, i.e probability of 5/9

(B,C) : (8,3) (8,7) (8,5) (6,3) (6,5)

In other 4 possible outcomes, C will win which is a probability of 4/9 (less than 5/9)

c) A & C: C has a higher chance of winning, i.e probability of 5/9

(A,C) : (2,3) (2,7) (2,5) (4,7) (4,5)

In other possible outcomes, A will win which is a probability of 4/9 (less than 5/9)

well there are two answers for that.

1: you need 120 ones then that will equal up to 120.

2: you could also do one 100 and 2 tens.

those are the answers that i have thought of.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
