Question

You are a game manufacturer. You and your team are trying to find the best pair of dice for a new board game you have made. You are examining the possible results of using a 6-sides die and a 8 sides die and rolling them together. If the random variable is defined as the sum of the two dice when rolled, which of the following values are included in the random variable.a.8b.14c.1d.12e.15f.0g. all of the above

Answer 1

Since one dice has 6 sides, then the faces number are

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Since the other dice has 8 sides, then the faces number are

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

When we rolled them together and check the sum

The smallest sum is 1 + 1 = 2

The greatest sum is 6 + 8 = 14

Then we can not find the sum of

1, 15, or 0

The answer should be

a. 8

b. 14

d. 12
