Lisa is conducting an expeeriment of tossing two ordinary dice and adding the two numbes. Determine the probability of her obtaining:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Procedure: You should draw the sample space as a 6x6 square
\n" ); document.write( "with the rows and columns headed 1,2,3,....6 and the square
\n" ); document.write( "inside the sum of the row and column numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "a) A sum of 5
\n" ); document.write( "count the ways you can get at a 5: (1,4), (2,3), (3,2), (4,1)
\n" ); document.write( "P(sum of 5) = 4/36 = 1/9
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "b) A sum greater than or equal to 8
\n" ); document.write( "count and divide by 36
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "c) A sum less than 6
\n" ); document.write( "count and divide by 36
\n" ); document.write( "====================
