The sample space consists of all ordered pairs (d,c), where d = 1,2,3,4,5,6, while c = 1,2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The values of X = d-c are then 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
\n" ); document.write( "X = 0 appears once,
\n" ); document.write( "X = 1 appears twice,
\n" ); document.write( "X = 2 appears twice,
\n" ); document.write( "X = 3 appears twice,
\n" ); document.write( "X = 4 appears twice,
\n" ); document.write( "X = 5 appears twice,and
\n" ); document.write( "X = 6 appears once.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since all the values on the die are equiprobable, and likewise with the coin, the probability table for X is as follows\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "X 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
\n" ); document.write( "p(X) 1/12 2/12=1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/12\r
