Question 1047928: 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 7
Event B: The sum is divisible by 3 or 4 (or both).
