Question 179923: 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.
Compute the probability of each of the following events:
Event A : The sum is greater than 6 .
Event B : The sum is an odd number.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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.
Compute the probability of each of the following events:
----------
When you have a two-dice problem you should draw the sample place
which is a 6x6 rectangle listing all the possible sums you might
get as a result of tossing the two dice or one die twice.
--------------------
Event A : The P(sum is greater than 6) = 21/36
==================================================
Event B : The P(sum is an odd number) = 18/36= 1/2
==================================================
