            There are two totally different problems in this post.

            Therefore, I will answer (b), (c) and (d) ONLY   (since these three parts logically comprise one problem)

The probability to get the sum of 7 at each single roll a pair of dice is ( since there are 36 outcomes, in total, and only six are successful, (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), and (6,1) ). So the answers (and the solutions) are (b) P = = 0.03215. (c) P = 1 - = 0.598122. (d) P = + = 0.803755.
