1) The outcomes for rolling two dice, the sample space, is as follows:
(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)
There are 36 outcomes in the sample space.
2) The ways to roll an odd sum when rolling two dice are:
(1, 2), (1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 2), (3, 4), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 3), (4, 5), (5, 2), (5, 4), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 3), (6, 5). There are 18 outcomes in this event.
3) The probability of rolling an odd sum is 18/36 = 1/2 = 0.5
Ah, the commutative property.
a + b = b + a
xy = yx
When using the commutative property - a good way to remember it is to think of a community, in which each community member helps one another to a mutual outcome.
Using the commutative property we can rearrange this equation into a more sensical format:
-8.9 + 6.7 - 1.1
6.7 - 1.1 - 8.9
6.7 - 1.1 = 5.6
5.6 - 8.9 = -3.3
f(x) is concave down on an interval I if all of the tangents to the curve on I are above the graph of f(x)
