You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose you roll one six-sided die and one four-sided die.
What is the probability that you will get a sum less than 5?
Six-sided: 1,2,3,4,5,6,
Foursided: 1,2,3,4
--------------------
Sums less than 5:
1/1 ; 1/2 ; 1/3
2/1 ; 2/2
3/1/;
--------------------
Ways to succeed: 6
# of possible outcomes: 6*4 = 24
------------------------------------
P(sum < 5) = 6/24 = 1/4
