4/10 chance of rolling 10 3/10 chance of rolling 5 2/10 chance of rolling 25 1/10 chance of rolling 27 Expected value is the sum of the outcomes multiplied by probabilities = (4/10)(10) + (3/10)(5) + (2/10)(25) + (1/10)(27)

duplicate question

math
sum of first 5 natural numbers = (5)(6)/2 sum of first 21 natural numbers = (21)(22)/2 sum of first 30 natural numbers = 465 = (30)(31)/2 sum of first n natural numbers = (n)(n+1)/2 -- provable by induction

math
C(7,2)*C(8,3) ways of choosing 2 out of 7 men and 3 out of 8 women. C(n,k) = n!/[(k!)(n-k)!] C(15,5) ways of picking 5 committee members out of 15 probability of selecting 2 men and 3 women is good over total -- C(7,2)*C(8,3)/C(15,5)

math
Probability of getting 0 heads is 1/2^6 Probability of getting at least 1 head is the complement -- 1 - 1/2^6
