Question 455418: Suppose you had a pair of dice. You know that if you roll the dice that occurs most often is 7. The sum that occurs the least is 2 and 12. Suppose you had a pair of dice where 4 is replaced by 7. So the numbers on both are 1,2,3,7, and 6. What sums can possibly occur? What sum occurs most often?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose you had a pair of dice. You know that if you roll the dice that occurs most often is 7. The sum that occurs the least is 2 and 12. Suppose you had a pair of dice where 4 is replaced by 7. So the numbers on both are 1,2,3,7, and 6. What sums can possibly occur? What sum occurs most often?

Sketch the sample space, which is a 5 by 5 square
with 1,2,3,7 on the left border and on the top.
Calculate the 25 sums. Then answer the questions
posed above.
