Answer:
5/36 ; 1/12 ; 2/9 ; yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Roll of two fair dice : green and red
Probability = (number of required outcomes / number of total possible outcomes)
(a) What is the probability of getting a sum of 6?
Number of required outcomes = 5
P(sum of 6) = 5/36
b.) What is the probability of getting a sum of 10?
Number of required outcomes = 3
P(sum of 10) = 3 / 36 = 1/12
c.) What is the probability of getting a sum of 6 or 10?
P(getting a sum of 6) + P(getting a sum of 10)
(5/36) + (1/12) = (5 + 3) / 36
= 8/36 = 2/9
The events are mutually exclusive because each event cannot occur at the same time.
