Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can easily be understood by making sample space first.
Outcomes in sample space=S={(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)}
Total outcomes=36
The probability in the following scenario is calculated as
Probability=number of outcomes/Total outcomes
1.
The sum is 4
The sum is 4 ={(1,3),(2,2),(3,1)}
number of outcomes=3
P(The sum is 4)=3/36=1/12 or 0.083
2.
The sum is 6
The sum is 6 ={(1,5),(2,4),(3,3),(4,2),(5,1)}
number of outcomes=5
P(The sum is 6)=5/36 or 0.1389
3.
The sum is at least 7
The sum is at least 7=The sum is greater than or equal to 7
The sum is at least 7={(1,6),(2,5),(2,6),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)}
number of outcomes=21
P(The sum is at least 7)=21/36
P(The sum is at least 7)=7/12 or 0.5833
4.
The sum is at least 8
The sum is at least 8=The sum is greater than or equal to 8
The sum is at least 8={(2,6),(3,5),(3,6),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)}
number of outcomes=15
P(The sum is at least 8)=15/36
P(The sum is at least 8)=5/12 or 0.4167
5.
The sum is less than 11
The sum is less than 11={(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),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4)}
number of outcomes=33
P(The sum is less than 11)=33/36
P(The sum is less than 11)=11/12 or 0.9167
6.
The sum is 2, 3, or 12
The sum is 2, 3, or 12={(1,1),(1,2),(2,1),(6,6)}
number of outcomes=4
P(The sum is 2, 3, or 12)=4/36
P(The sum is 2, 3, or 12)=1/9 or 0.1111
7.
The sum is odd and no more than 7
The sum is odd and no more than 7={(1,2),(1,4),(1,6),(2,1),(2,3),(2,5),(3,2),(3,4),(4,1),(4,3),(5,2),(6,1)}
number of outcomes=12
P(The sum is odd and no more than 7)=12/36
P(The sum is odd and no more than 7)=1/3 or 0.3333
8.
The sum is odd or prime
The sum is odd or prime={(1,1),(1,2),(1,4),(1,6),(2,1),(2,3),(2,5),(3,2),(3,4),(4,1),(4,3),(5,2),(5,6),(6,1),(6,5)}
number of outcomes=15
P(The sum is odd or prime)=15/36
P(The sum is odd or prime)=5/12 or 0.4167
