In math if two things have the same chance of happening they are?
equally likely
What is the probability that if three dice are rolled simultaneously then two dice will come up with same number?
This depends on if you want at least two of the dice to be the same number, or exactly two of the dice to be the same number.For the first scenario: Roll the first die, and get a number. Roll the second die, and there is 1/6 chance that it'll be the same as the first one. Now if it's not the same (5/6 chance) then the third die has 1/6 chance of being the same as the first, and 1/6 chance of being the same as the second. So we have:1/6 + 5/6*(1/6 + 1/6) = [simplified] 4/9 or about 44.44%chance that at least two are the same.For the second scenario: With three dice, there are 216 possible outcomes (6 x 6 x 6). So we know that there is a 4/9 chance that 2 or more will be the same: (4/9)*216 = 96 outcomes. Now 6 of these outcomes will have all three dice the same, so subtract 6 from 96 = 90. There is a 90/216 = 5/12 or 41.67% chance that exactly two dice are the same.
Can line segments be congruent?
Congruency means that two things are the same length. Therefore two line segments if the same length are congruent.
Two dice are thrown. What is the probability of getting the same number?
The first dice can show any number. However the second dice has a 1 in 6 chance of being the same as the first. Hence the probability of getting two numbers the same is 1/6.
What is a unequal fraction?
One fraction or number can never be equal or unequal. Those words mean that at least two separate things are compared, and either they're the same or else they're not the same. If two fractions or two numbers are 'unequal', it means they're not the same size.
