(a) If you roll a single die and count the number of dots on top, what is the sample space of all possible outcomes? Are the outcomes equally likely?
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; not equally likely
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; equally likely
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; not equally likely
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; equally likely
(b) Assign probabilities to the outcomes of the sample space of
part (a). (Enter your answers as fractions.)
Outcome | Probability | |
1 | 2 | |
2 | 3 | |
3 | 4 | |
4 | 5 | |
5 | 6 | |
6 | 7 |
Do the probabilities add up to 1? Should they add up to 1?
Explain.
Yes, but they should not because these values do not cover the entire sample space.
Yes, because these values cover the entire sample space.
No, because these values do not cover the entire sample space.No, but they should because these values cover the entire sample space.
