    An ordinary fair die is rolled twice. The face value of the rolls is added together. Compute the probability of the following events: Event A: The sum is greater than 6. Event B: The sum is divisible by 5 or 6 or both. Sum greater than 6 = 7/12 Sum is divisible by 5 or 6 or both This means a...

    A blue die and a green die are rolled. Find the probability that the blue and green are both less than 6 P(Blue not 6) = 5/6 P(Green not 6) = 5/6 Each one is independent of the other, so the probability that both are less than 6 is: P(Both not 6) = P(Blue not 6) x P(Green not 6) P(Both not 6)...

    You throw two dice. The red dice is fair but on the blue dice the probability of a 1=15%, probability of a 2 is 25%, and the probability of any other number is 15%. What is the probability of getting 4? Possible Rolls with a sum of 4: R = 1, B = 3 R = 2, B = 2 R = 3, B = 1 Probabilities: R =...

    2 dice are rolled what is the probability that doubles are rolled less than 11

    2 dice are rolled what is the probability that doubles are rolled less than 11 List out the doubles with a sum less than 11: (1, 1) (2, 2) (3, 3) (4, 4) (5, 5) The probability of each double is 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36. We have 5 of them, so we have 5*1/36 = 5/36

    You roll a die. Find the probability of rolling a number less than 4 AND rolling an odd number.

    P(X = 4) AND P(X is odd) Which means P(X = 1) + P(X = 3) P(X = 1) = 1/6 P(X = 3) = 1/6 P(X = 1) + P(X = 3) = 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3

    two unbiased dice are thrown. find the probability that the total number on the dice is greater than 10 From our 2 dice calculator: We have (5,6),(6,5),(6,6) P(Sum) > 10 is 1/12

    Probability of getting either a sum of 8 or at least one 4 in the roll of a pair dice

    Sum of 8 equal to 5/36 shown here. At least one 4 means one of three scenarios: (4, not 4) = 1/6 * 5/6 = 5/36 (not 4, 4) = 5/6 * 1/6 = 5/36 (4, 4) = 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36 The phrase "or", means we add both probabilities (sum of 8) and (at least one 4): 5/36 + (5/36 + 5/36 + 1/36) 16/36 Simplify...

    Suppose two number cubes are rolled. What is the probability of rolling a sum greater than 8?

    List out the sums greater than 8: (4, 5) (4, 6) (5, 5) (5, 6) (6, 6) (5, 4) (6, 4) (6, 5) Since there are 6 * 6 = 36 total outcomes, we have the probability of the sum greater than 8 as: 8/36 = 2/9
