Using it's concept, the probabilities are given as follows:
a. 0.1667 = 16.67%.
b. 0.5 = 50%.
<h3>What is a probability?</h3>
A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.
The 36 total outcomes of the roll of the two dices are given as follows:
- (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)
The sum is less than 5 in 6 outcomes, hence probability is given by:
p = 6/36 = 1/6 = 0.1667 = 16.67%.
The sum result in an odd number in 18 outcomes, hence the probability is given by:
p = 18/36 = 1/2 = 0.5 = 50%.
