Algebra.Com's Answer #690242 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two ways to interpret this problem. \n" ); document.write( "One die rolled twice: (1/2) probability even* (1/3) larger than 4 (5 and 6)=1/6 total probability. \n" ); document.write( "---------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Two dice (because plural form of noun die). \n" ); document.write( "First roll is even \n" ); document.write( "That occurs when 2,4,6,8,10,12, and that is (1/2) as well but second part, greater than 4 is 30/36 or 5/6. That joint probability is (1/2)*(5/6)=(5/12) \n" ); document.write( "I suspect the first solution is what is asked for. \n" ); document.write( " |
