4 out of something

Answer 2

working on it :)

Answer 3

Write out a results grid then count the number of favorable results, call it A. Let B = the total number of results. A / B is your probability

Answer 4

2/(36)

Answer 5

1/18

Answer 6

since only possible numbers are 2,6 and 6,2

Answer 7

greater than 8

Answer 8

3 and 5? :P

Answer 14

die 1 die 2
1 1
1 2
1 3
1 4
1 5
1 6
2 1
2 2
2 3
... ....
6 1
6 2
6 3
6 4
6 5
6 6


total different rolls is 6(6)=36

now lets look to see where one die is 6 and the sum of both die is greater than 8
1+2+3+4
so 10/36

Answer 15

10/36=5/18

Answer 16

woops, 15/36 if you're including 8! 10/36 chance of rolling a sum of greater than 8 :)

Answer 17

ah crap true

Answer 18

wait, what about 6,3 and 3,6? Don't u cross out repeats?

Answer 19

its not really a repeat since
die 1 die 2
3 6
6 3
since the numbers happen on different die
