You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the sample space for this problem is:
\n" ); document.write( "{(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),
\n" ); document.write( "(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),
\n" ); document.write( "(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),
\n" ); document.write( "(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),
\n" ); document.write( "(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),
\n" ); document.write( "(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)}
\n" ); document.write( "each sample represents (the number shown in 1st dice,the number shown in 2nd dice)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "from the sample space, the samples which have differences between the two numbers = 2 are:
\n" ); document.write( "{(1,3),(2,4),(3,1),(3,5),(4,2),(4,6),(5,3),(6,4)}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so,the probability for this problem is 8/36 = 2/9
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
