There are the combinations that result in a total less than 7 and at least one die showing a 3:
[3, 3] [3,2] [2,1] [1,3] [2,3]
The probability of each of these is 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36
There is a little ambiguity here about whether or not we should count [3,3] as the problem says "and one die shows a 3." Does this mean that only one die shows a 3 or at least one die shows a 3? Assuming the latter, the total probability is the sum of the individual probabilities:
1/36 + 1/36 + 1/36 + 1/36 + 1/36 = 5/36
Therefore, the required probability is: 5/36
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Mrs. Lincoln has 15 girls and 10 boys in her homeroom. She randomly selects two students. The total number of students is 25.
The probability of choosing one girl is:
15 / 25 = 3 / 5
Now, 24 students are left.
The probability of choosing one boy is:
10 / 24 = 5 / 12
Therefore, the probability of choosing one girl and one boy is:
3 / 5 * 5 / 12
= 3 / 12
= 1/4
Answer:
3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 12 window seats and 8 aisle seats giving us a total of 20 seats.
12/20 = 3/5
Therefore, the probably the next person will be assigned a window seat is 3/5.
