Question

Suppose you roll two six-sided dice at once, one yellow and the other green.

Find the probability that: (1) The yellow die shows 3 and the green shows

5. (2) The yellow die is even and the green shows 1. (3) The sum of the

two numbers shown is 6.

Answer 1

A) total number of events of two six sided dice = 6* 6 = 36

Event of yellow die shows 3 and the green shows 5

So, possible events = 1

So, probablity = 1/36

B)

Total number of events of two six sided dice = 6 * 6 =36

Yellow die is even and the green shows 1.

Number of possible events = 3 { (2,1)(4,1)(6,1) }

So, probablity = 3/36

= 1/12

C) total number of events = 6*6 =36

Number of Possible events of the sum of the two die number is 6

5= {(1,5) (2,4)(3,3)(4,2)(5,1)}

So, probablity = 5/36
