An ordinary (fair) die is a cube with the numbers 1 through 6 on the sides (represented by painted spots). Imagine that such a die is rolled twice in succession and that the face values of the two rolls are added together. This sum is recorded as the outcome of a single trial of a random experiment.
\n" ); document.write( "Compute the probability of each of the following events:
\n" ); document.write( "Event A: The sum is greater than 5.
\n" ); document.write( "There are 36 sums.
\n" ); document.write( "Those <= 5 are
\n" ); document.write( "1/1 ;1/2; 1/3; 1/4
\n" ); document.write( "2/1 ; 2/2; 2/3
\n" ); document.write( "3/1 ;3/2
\n" ); document.write( "4/1
\n" ); document.write( "pairs with sum <= 5:: 10
\n" ); document.write( "pairs with sum > 5:: 36-10 = 26
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: P(sum > 5) = 26/36 = 12/13
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Event B: The sum is an odd number.
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: P(sum is odd) = 0.5
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
