Suppose we roll 2 six sided dice as in Video #4 with event A being even, event B being divisible by 3 and event C being less than 5.
What is the probability of a number being divisible by 3 and less than 5?
Question 5 options:
1/2
1/3
4/36
2/36
Given that the 2 six sided dice are rolled
The possible outcomes and sum of numbers on both dice for each outcome are given below
Outcome | Sum | Outcome | Sum | Outcome | Sum |
(1,1) | 2 | (3,1) | 4 | (5,1) | 6 |
(1,2) | 3 | (3,2) | 5 | (5,2) | 7 |
(1,3) | 4 | (3,3) | 6 | (5,3) | 8 |
(1,4) | 5 | (3,4) | 7 | (5,4) | 9 |
(1,5) | 6 | (3,5) | 8 | (5,5) | 10 |
(1,6) | 7 | (3,6) | 9 | (5,6) | 11 |
(2,1) | 3 | (4,1) | 5 | (6,1) | 7 |
(2,2) | 4 | (4,2) | 6 | (6,2) | 8 |
(2,3) | 5 | (4,3) | 7 | (6,3) | 9 |
(2,4) | 6 | (4,4) | 8 | (6,4) | 10 |
(2,5) | 7 | (4,5) | 9 | (6,5) | 11 |
(2,6) | 8 | (4,6) | 10 | (6,6) | 12 |
Number of outcomes in which sum is divisible 3 and less than 5 = 2
Total Number of outcomes = 36
So probability of a number (sum here) being divisible by 3 and less than 5 = 2/36
So Answer is Option D
