I Roll Two Fair Number Cubes Numbered 1-6. Can You Find P(sum 7)?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    When you roll a fair die two times then the number of possible out comes are
    a = { (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6),
             (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6),
             (3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6),
             (4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6),
             (5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6),
             (6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)}

    Total number of outcome = 36

    Set B (Sum is 7) = {(1,6),(2,5),(3,4), (4,3), (5,2),(6,1)}
    Total desired outcome = 6

    Probability (sum 7) = (Total desired outcome)/(Total number of outcome)
    = 6/36
    = 1/6 >>>answer
