Answer

Explanation:

When one dice is rolled, the total sample space = 6 When two dice is rolled, total sample space = 6*6=36 A) P(sum less than 9) = 1 - P(sum greater than or equal to 9) Sample outcomes for sum greater than or equal to 9 = {(3,6),(4,5),(5,4),(6,3),(4,6), (5,5),(6,4), (5,6), (6,5),(6,6)} P(sum greater than or equal to 9) = 10/36 = 5/18 or 0.2778 P(sum less than 9) = 1-5/18 = 13/18 or 0.7222 B)Sample outcomes for sum greater than or equal to 10 = {(4,6),(5,5),(6,4), (5,6),(6,5),(6,6)} P(sum greater than or equal to 10) = 6/36 = 1/6 or 0.1667 C) sample outcomes for event 3 on one die or both = {(3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6),(1,3),(2,3), (4,3),(5,3),(6,3)} P(3 on one die or both die) = 11/36 or 0.3056
