Question 454125: Imagine you have two dice, one red and one white. You roll the dice at the same time.
a) How many possible outcomes are there? Explain how you get your answer.
b) What is the probability that the dice show a total of 8?
c) What is the probability that the dice show a total less than 5?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Imagine you have two dice, one red and one white. You roll the dice at the same time.
a) How many possible outcomes are there? Explain how you get your answer.
# of sum results: 6 x 6 = 36
------------------------------------
b) What is the probability that the dice show a total of 8?
2/6;3/5;4/4;5/3;6/2
P(sum is 8) = 5/36
------------------------------------
c) What is the probability that the dice show a total less than 5?
1/1;1/2;1/3
2/1;2/2
3/1
---
P(sum < 5) = 6/36 = 1/6
