Question

Mark rolls 2 fair dice and adds the results from each.

Answer 1

Answer:

P ( X > 5 ) = 72,2 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of success ( outcomes bigger than 5 )

If dice  1  outcome is 6 no matter wich outcome we get from dice 2 all events are successful, the we have 6 outcomes

If dice 1 outcome is 5  we also have  6 outcomes

If dice 1  outcomes is 4 we have 5 positive outcomes

If dice 1  outcome is 3  we have 4 positive outcomes

If dice 1  outcome is 2  we have 3 positive outcomes

if dice 1  outcome is 1  we have 2 positive outcomes

Total evaluating dice 1: positive outcomes 26

We will get the sames results analysing  dice 2 then we have a total of

52 successful events

And total numbers of outcomes is 36 + 36 = 72

Then

P ( X > 5 ) = 52/72  

P ( X > 5 ) = 0,722    

P ( X > 5 ) = 72,2 %
