A fair die is rolled twice. Find the probability of the following.
a. rolling a sum of 10 on the two rolls
10: 4/6 ; 5/5 ; 6/4
P(sum = 10) = 3/36
---------------------------
b. rolling a sum not equal to 5 on the two rolls
5: 1/4 ; 2/3 ; 3/2 ; 4/1
P(sum not 5) = 32/36
---------------------------
c. rolling a 2 first, then a 6
P(2 then 6) = (1/6)(1/6) = 1/36
---------------------------
d. rolling 2 even numbers
2/2; 2/4; 2/6
4/2; 4/4; 4/6
6/2; 6/4; 6/6
P(2 even) = 9/36
