Question

Probability Assignment Rolling two dice has become a staple experiment in probability studies. Normally, we roll two six-sided dice and total the numbers that appear on the top of the two dice. The results range from totals of 2 through 12. Consider the following ent 8 The experiment is now rolling a 12 sided die and an 8 sided die. Based on this new experiment, find the following All the possible totals achieved by rolling these two dice (2 pts) The probability that the total on the two dice is 10 (8 pts) The probability of the total of the two dice being less than 6 (10 pts) 1. 2.

Explanation / Answer

a.

Possible totals acheved = 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16

Total possible outcomes = 12*8 = 96

b.

P(total is 10) = 8/96 = 0.083
