Instead of using the values {1,2,3,4,5,6}

on dice, suppose a pair of dice have the
following: {1,2,2,3,3,4} on one die and
{1,3,4,5,6,8} on the other. Find the
probability of rolling a sum of 7 with
these dice. Be sure to reduce.

Answer:


Probability(sum7)=(4)/(24)=(1)/(6)

Explanation:

  • The dice form pairs of outcomes, so if the dice has repeating sides then the set of outcomes will be pairs of elements from the set {1,2,3,4} and {1,3,4,5,6,8}. T
  • he number of possible two pair combinations is 4 times 6 which equals 24 possible pairs.
  • Now we find which of these pairs would have values summing up to 7:
    (1,6),(2,5),(3,4),(4,3)
  • So 4 outcomes out of a possible 24 outcomes have this quality
  • That's
    Probability(sum7)=(4)/(24)=(1)/(6)
