Probability again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the chances of getting a 9 results in rolling: 6,3 3,6 5,4 4,5 the first role is 4 out of 6 the second role is 4 out of 6 add them ? 8 out of 12? or 4 out of 12?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

12 chances all together :) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

36 chances./results all together

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i was getting there lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and theres only 8 chances of them adding to 9

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so 8 out of 36 = 8/36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 chances? i thought

OpenStudy (anonymous):

added to 9

OpenStudy (amistre64):

out of the 36 ways to come out; there are only 4 ways that matter so 4 out of 36 seems more reasonable right?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

6 and 3 3 and 6 5 and 4 4 and 5 4 ways to get a 9 out of 36 ways total

OpenStudy (amistre64):

4/36 = 1/9

OpenStudy (amistre64):

how many ways are divisible by 5 or 6 or both? 5 and 10 are divisible by 5 6 and 12 are divisible by 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are 13 ways i think

OpenStudy (amistre64):

1. 2,3 2. 3,2 3. 5,1 4. 1,5 5. 4,2 6. 2,5 7. 3,3

OpenStudy (amistre64):

7 out of 36 ways to get the answer for B 7/36

OpenStudy (amistre64):

when you roll a dice twice; you only get the options 1 thru 6 as a face value; the lowest sum is 2 and the highest is 12 gotta keep them between 2 and 12 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so 36 total chances; 6*6 = 36 ways the only combos available for a 9 are to roll: 6,3 3,6 5,4 4,5 that is only 4 ways out of 36 to get a sum of 9 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so P(A) = 4/36 = 1/9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you So much.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

P(B) asks for a sum that is divisible by 5 or 6 those values are 5,10 and 6 and 12 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

10= 6,4 4,6 5,5 5= 4,1 1,4 2,3 3,2 6= 5,1 1,5 4,2 2,4 3,3 12= 6,6

OpenStudy (amistre64):

13 out of 36 to get P(B)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YOU SAID 7/36!!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i was wrong lol
