Using two normal dice, what is the probability of rolling numbers that add up to 3?

1 answer:

4 0

That would be rolling a 1 and a 2 .

so possibilities are 1 on first die and 2 on the second die

OR 2 on first die and 1 on the second.

Both of these have a probability of 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36

so required probability = 1/36 + 1/36 = 2/36 = 1/18

A common misconception in statistics is confusing correlation with causation. If two events are correlated, it merely means that they share the same behaviour over time, but it doesn't imply in any way that those event are related by a common cause, or even worse, that one implies the other.

You can find several (even humorous) counter examples online. For example, if you plot the number of reported pirates assault against the global temperature in the last years, you'll se that temperature is rising (unfortunately...) while pirates are almost disappearing.

One could observe this strong negative correlation and claim that hotter climate has solved the pirate issue. Of course this is a joke, but it explains why you shouldn't confuse correlation with causation.

R could equal any number, but it has to be higher than 4, because 3+4=7.
