Since \n" ); document.write( "the probability of a 3, a 4, or a 6 is 1/18 for each number; \n" ); document.write( "the probability of a 5 is 3/18=1/6, \n" ); document.write( "and the probability of a 1, or a 2, is 6/18=1/3 for each number. \n" ); document.write( "a) The probability of an even number \n" ); document.write( "is the probability of a 2, or a 4, or a 6: \n" ); document.write( "6/18+1/18+1/18=8/18=4/9 . \n" ); document.write( "b) The probability of a perfect square \n" ); document.write( "is the probability of 4, which is 1/18 . \n" ); document.write( "c) The probability of a nl number greater than 4 \n" ); document.write( "is the probability of 5 or 6, which is \n" ); document.write( "3/18+1/18=4/18=2/9 . \n" ); document.write( " |
