Answer:
The probabilities of each outcome are the following:
for X = 1 is 0.6
for X = 2 is 0.35
for X = 3 is 0.049
and for X = 4 is 0.001
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's consider X as the random variable for the sum of outcomes "S" exceeds 3, this is:
Let's now analyze and consider the ways that X equals the different values:
X = 1: I throw the dice and the result is: 4, 5 and 6.
Then: P(X=1) = P(4) + P(5) + P(6) = 0.2+0.1+0.3 = 0.6
Thus P(X=1) = 0.6
X = 2: The result after following the dice two times can be:
1 and 3, 1 an 4.... and so on until 1 and 6
2 and 2, 2 and 3... and so on until 2 and 6
3 and 1... and so on until 3 a 6
Then P(X=2) = P(1)xP(3,4,5,6) + P(2)xP(2....6) + P(3)x(1.....6)
Theory of Probability: Sum of all possible outcomes P(1)+P(2).......P(6) = 1
Then P(1......6) = 1
Then P(X=2) = P(1)x[1-P(1)-P(2)]+P(2)x[1-P(1)]+P(3) = 0.1x(1-0.1-0.2) + 0.2x(1-0.1) + 0.1 = 0.1 x 0.7 + 0.2 x 0.9 + 0.1 = 0.35
Thus P(X=2) = 0.35
X = 3: The result can be
1 and 1 and 2, 1 and 1 and 3.... until 1 and 1 and 6
1 and 2 and 1, 1 and 2 and 2..... until 1 and 2 and 6
2 and 1 and 1, 2 and 1 and 2.... until 2 and 1 and 6
Then P(X=3) = P(1)xP(1)xP(2....6) + P(1)xP(2)xP(1.....6) + P(1)xP(2)xP(1.....6)
P(X=3) = 0.1 x 0.1 x (1-0.1) + 0.1 x 0.2 x 1 + 0.2 x 0.1 x 1 = 0.01 x 0.9 + 0.2 + 0.2 = 0.049
Thus P(X=3) = 0.049
Finally, for X to be 4, I only have the following possibilities
1 and 1 and 1 and 1.... until 1 and 1 and 1 and 6
Then P(X=4) = P(1)xP(1)xP(1)xP(1.....6) = 0.1x0.1x0.1x1 = 0.001
Thus P(X=3) = 0.001
As long as your indexes are the same (which they are; they are all square roots) and you radicands are the same (which they are; they are all 11), then you can add or subtract. The rules for adding and subtracting radicals are more picky than multiplying or dividing. Just like adding fractions or combining like terms. Since all the square roots are the same we only have to worry about the numbers outside. In fact, it may help to factor out the sqrt 11: 
. The numbers subtract to give you -9. Therefore, the simplification is
