Question

You toss two number cubes. If a sum of 7 or 11 comes up, you get 7 points, if not you lose 2 points.

The probabilities for each of the sums is:

P(2) = 1/36 P(3) = 1/18 P(4) = 1/12 P(5) = 1/9

P(6) = 5/36 P(7) = 1/6 P(8) = 5/36 P(9) = 1/9

P(10) = 1/12 P(11) = 1/18 P(12) = 1/36

The probability of a sum of 7 or 11 is:

1/36

Answer 1

the first part is 2 / 9

the second part is 0

i just did the assignment on edge and got those right

Answer 2

• 2/9

Explanation:

The probability of a sum of 7 or 11 is the sum of each probability:

• P(sum of 7 or 11) = P(7) + P(11) =
• 1/6 + 1/18 =
• 3/18 + 1/18 =
• 4/18 =
• 2/9
