Question 250676: Which pair has equally likely outcomes? List the letters of the two choices below which have equal probabilities of success, seperated by a coma.
A. drawing a black seven out of a standard 52 card deck given it's not a face card or an ace.
B. rolling a total of 4 on two fair six sided dice.
C. drawing a three out of a standard 52 card deck given it's not a face card or an ace.
D. rolling a total of 9 on two fair six sided dice.
E. rolling a total of 7 on two fair six sided dice. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
There are 3 ways to make a 4, 4 ways to make a 9, and 6 ways to make a 7 rolling a pair of 6-sided dice. There are 36 total possibilities for the sum of two 6-sided dice.
There are 3 face cards in each of 4 suits for a total of 12 face cards, plus there are 4 aces for a total of 16 excluded cards from the deck of 52. That leaves 52 - 16 equals 36 possible cards.
