Title:
The event can be represented by X + Y < 4.
Explanation:
Two balanced dice are to be rolled here.
On each dice the outcome varies from 1 to 6.
If we denote, one of the die's outcome by X and for the other one we use Y, then the situation of getting the sum less than 4 can be represented by X + Y <4.
Hence, the sum will be either 2 or 3.
- X = 1 and Y = 1.
- X= 1 and Y = 2.
- X = 2 and Y = 3.
The total of 36 combinations can be found.
The probability of the sum of the outcomes less than 4 is
