Question 1178941: Two six-sided dice are rolled. You are interested in getting the sum of the number of dots
in the two dice.
a. List all the possible outcomes.
b. What is the probability that the sum of the two dice is at least 6?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
throwing sum at least 6 means 6 or greater than 6
Refering to the sample space
there are 26 outcomes possible
P (S) = 26/52
=1/2
The correct answer is = = 0.7222 = 72.22% (rounded).
He mistakenly used the denominator of 52, because he remembers this number associated with the standard card deck,
and nobody was near him (or her) to explain that it is WRONG.
Here we have TOTALLY different case and different numbers.
