Answer:
Sum of 6
Sum of 2 or 9
Sum (> 2 but < 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that :
Elena's probability of winning is 6 /36 = 1/6
And also that Martha's probability if winning is lower Than that of Elena ; Hence, Martha's outcome should be outcjnes whose probability is less than 1/6 (Elena's probability of winning)
Using a sample space that gives the sum of 2 dices.
Recall :
Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
Total possible outcomes for a two dice throw = 6² = 36
Using the sample space attached, we can count the sums from the sample space :
To obtain a sum of 7 :
P(sum 7) = 6 /36 = 1/6
To obtain a sum of 6 :
P(sum 6) = 5 /36
Sum of 2 or 9:
P(sum of 2 or 9). = 5 / 36
Sum > 9 :
P(sum > 9). = 6/36
P Sum (> 2 but < 5) = 5 /36
Correct choices are probability values less than 6/36 which are :
Sum of 6
Sum of 2 or 9
Sum (> 2 but < 5)
