EXPLANATION
For each of the three events, there are 8 possible outcomes, so the probability of each event is,
• Event A:, there must be only odd numbers in the last two rolls, which are either ,EOO or OOO,. This event has 2 favorable outcomes, ,so its probability is 1/4,.
,• Event B,: this is the complementary event to event A. Here the last two rolls must be even numbers - both or only one of the last two: ,OOE, EEO, EOE, OEE, EEE, OEO,. This event has 6 favorable outcomes, so ,its probability is 3/4,.
,• Event C,: this event is when the first and last rolls are even numbers in the same event. This is either ,EOE or EEE,. Since this event has 2 favorable outcomes, ,its probability is 1/4,.
Let's call that number x, twice the number will be 2x, sum of it and 5 is, 2x+5. So if this expression is at most 15, it means, it can be only less than 15 and equal to 15. Let's show this as an inequality.
Let's solve.
![x\quad \in \quad \left[ -\infty ,5 \right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5Cquad%20%5Cin%20%5Cquad%20%5Cleft%5B%20-%5Cinfty%20%2C5%20%5Cright%5D%20)
If the number is a natural number. The values it can take is,![x\quad \in \quad \left[ 0,1,2,3,4,5 \right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5Cquad%20%5Cin%20%5Cquad%20%5Cleft%5B%200%2C1%2C2%2C3%2C4%2C5%20%5Cright%5D%20)
Let's solve.
