Question

An ordinary (falr) die is a cube with the numbers 1 through 6 on the sides (represented by painted spots), Imagine that such a die is rolled twice in successionand that the face values of the two rolls are added together. This sum is recorded as the outcome of a single trial of a random experimentCompute the probability of each of the following events.Event A: The sum is greater than 7Event B: The sum is not divisible by 2.Write your answers as exact fractions.(a) P(A)0?18(b) P(B)36

Answer 1

Event A: The sum is greater than 7

outcomes greater than 7: 15

total outcomes: 36

P(A) = 15/36
