Hi,

36 outcomes: 18 odds  and  18 evens

the likely hood of Connie or Curtis getting a point on the roll is the same: P = 18/36 = 1/2 = .5  0r 50% chance

___1_2_3__4__5__6

1|_2_3_4__5__6__7

2|_3_4_5__6__7__8

3|_4_5_6__7__8__9

4|_5_6_7__8__9_10

5|_6_7_8__9_10_11

6|_7_8_9_10_11_12

 Connie and Curtis are playing a game by rolling two number cubes with faces numbered 1 through 6. Connie gets a point when the sum of the two numbers face up on the cubes is an odd number, and Curtis gets a point when the sum of the two numbers is 8 or less. The table below shows all the possible sums for the two numbers face up on the cubes.

Is Connie or Curtis more likely to get a point on the first roll? 

-------

For each roll:

P(Connie gets point) = 18/36 = 1/2

P(Curtis gets point) = 26/36

----

Note :: On some roll results they both get a point.

Cheers,

Stan H.
