Question

Dice: suppose you roll two 6-sided dice — a red one and a white one. there are 36 different outcomes in this sample space (for each of the 6 options on the red die, there are 6 options for the white one). find the requested probabilities. round your answers to 4 decimal places. (a) what is the probability that the total on the dice is 3? (b) what is the probability tat the total on the dice is not 3?

Answer 1

for being 3 there are :
1,2 or 2,1
P=2/36=1/12=0,0833
for being not 3 are the others 34 possibilities
P=34/36=0,9444
