An ordinary (falr) dle is a cube with the numbers 1 through 6 on the sides (represented by painted spots). Imagine that such a d

le is rolled twice in succession
and that the face values of the two rolls are added together. This sum is recorded as the outcome of a single trial of a random experiment.
Compute the probability of each of the following events.
Event A: The sum is greater than 8.
Event B: The sum is divisible by 5.
Write your answers as fractions.

By finding the number of outcomes that meet each criteria, we will see that the probabilities are:

  • A) P = 0.25
  • B) P = 7/36 = 0.194

<h3>How to find the probability?</h3>

We know that the fair die has 6 outcomes, so if we roll it twice, there are a total of:

6*6 = 36 outcomes.

To find the probability of getting a given event, we need to find the number of outcomes that make the event true.

A) The sum is greater than 8.

The outcomes that make this true are:

first roll    second roll     sum

 4                   5                 9

 4                   6                 10

5                     5                10

5                    6                 11

6                     3                 9

6                    4                 10

6                     5                11

6                     6                  12

3                     6                   9

So there are 9 outcomes whose sum is greater than 8, so the probability to getting this event is:

P = 9/36 = 0.25

B) The sum is divisible by 5.

The sum must be 5 or 10, the outcomes that give that are:

first roll    second roll     sum

   1                   4                 5

   2                  3                 5

   3                  2                 5

   1                   4                 5

   4                   6                10

  5                    5                10

   6                   4                 10

There are 7 outcomes, so the probability is:

P = 7/36 = 0.194

The answer is 14. The two lower angles are 50 each 100 total and so the top angle must equal 80. If you set it equal to 80 you get 14.
