An ordinary (fair) die is a cube with the numbers 1 through 6 on the sides (represented by painted spots). Imagine that such a d

ie is rolled twice in succession and that the face values of the two rolls are added together. This sum is recorded as the outcome of a single trial of a random experiment.
Compute the probability of each of the following events.
Event A: The sum is greater than 5.
Event B: The sum is an even number.
Write your answers as exact fractions.

Answer:

The probability of event <em>A</em> is \frac{7}{11}.

The probability of event <em>B</em> is \frac{6}{11}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space of rolling a fair six-sided dice is as follows:

S = {(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)}

Now consider the experiment of the computing the sum of the two rolls as follows:

X = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}

Number of total outcomes, <em>N</em> = 11.

The probability of an event <em>E</em> is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{N}

The event <em>A</em> is defined as the sum is greater than 5.

The sample space of <em>A</em> is:

A = {6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}

n (A) = 7

Compute the probability of event <em>A</em> as follows:

P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{N}=\frac{7}{11}

Thus, the probability of event <em>A</em> is \frac{7}{11}.

The event <em>B</em> is defined as the sum is an even number.

The sample space of <em>B</em> is:

B = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12}

n (B) = 6

Compute the probability of event <em>B</em> as follows:

P(B)=\frac{n(B)}{N}=\frac{6}{11}

Thus, the probability of event <em>B</em> is \frac{6}{11}.
