SOLUTION :
Events of even sum of two dice after rolling : 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 : Total 6 events
Probability of each event = 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36
P(even sum) = 6 * 1/36 = 1/6 .
Events of sum greater than 8 are : 9. 10, 11, 12 : total 4 events
Probability of each event = 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36
P(sum > 8) = 4 * 1/36 = 1/9 .
Two events , sum of 10 and 12 are common to both cases,
=> P(sum even AND sum > 8) = 2 * 1/36 = 1/18
So,
P( sum even OR sum > 8)
= P(sum even) + P(sum > 8) - P(sum even AND sum > 8)
= 1/6 + 1/9 - 1/18
= 2/9 (ANSWER).
SOLUTION :
Events of even sum of two dice after rolling :
(1, 1) , (1,3), (3,1), (2, 2) , (1, 5), (5,1), (2, 4), (4, 2), (3, 3) (2, 6), (6, 2), (3, 5), (5,3), (4,4) , (4, 6), (6, 4), (5, 5),
(6, 6)
Total 18 events
Probability of each event = 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36
P(even sum) = 18 * 1/36 = 1/2.
Events of sum greater than 8 : (3, 6), (6, 3), (4, 5), (5, 4), (4, 6), (6, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 5), (6, 6) :
Total 10 events
Probability of each event = 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36
P(sum > 8) = 10 * 1/36 = 5/18 .
Events : (4, 6), (6, 4), (5, 5) and (6, 6) are common to both cases,
=> P(sum even AND sum > 8) : 4 * 1/36 = 1/9
So,
P( sum even OR sum > 8)
= P(sum even) + P(sum > 8) - P(sum even AND sum > 8)
= 1/2 + 5/18 - 1/9
= 2/3 (ANSWER).
If you roll two dice and find their sum, what is the probability of the sum...
Find the conditional probability, in a single roll of two fair 6-sided dice, that the sum is less than 6, given that the sum is even The probability is 2 (Type an integer or a simplified fraction) 1
Roll 10 dice. Find probability sum of dice is 42. (dice are 6-sided. Min roll = 10. Max roll = 120.) (number of possible rolls = 6^10 = 60466176) = s^n number of favorable rolls = number of ways dice add to 42 [(number of favorable rolls)/(number of possible rolls)] = [Probability sum is 42] You must find number of favorable rolls. Given number of dice(n), sides(s), and sum of roll (r) as n = 10, s = 6, and...

Exercise 4.8. Dice. You roll two dice. Let A belthe event that the sum of the dice is an even number. Let B be the event that the two results are different. If B has occurred, what is the probability A has also occurred?
If you roll two fair six-sided dice, what is the probability that the sum is 4 or higher?
If you roll two fair six-sided dice, what is the probability that the sum is 4 or higher?
If two fair dice are rolled, find the probability that the sum of the dice is 10, given that the sum is greater than 4. The probability is (Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
