a die is biased so that the probability of rolling a 1,2,3,4,5,6 is 0.25,0.2,0.2,0.1,0.15 and 0.2 respectively. If the die is rolled twice, the probability that the sum of the two numbers rolled is greater than 9 is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry the probabilities are 0.25, 0.2, 0.1, 0.1,0.15 and 0.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(4,6)+2(5,5)+(6,5)+(5,6)+(6,4) 0.02+0.045+0.03+0.03+0.02 =0.145

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is 0.1625

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get 0.225 lol I'm so lost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill do it agaon since you posted new probabilities and i forgot 1 thinmg in my answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6,6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.225

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i got that and its wrong lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2(4,6)+2(5,5)+2(6,5)+2(6,6) 0.04+0.045+0.006+0.04

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops its 0.04+0.045+0.06+0.04

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still wrong :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.1625

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah dam lol what i did was this 2(0.1 x0.2) + 2(0.15 x 0.2) +2(0.15 x0.15)+ 2(0.2 x0.2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it seems right but i guess not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

soory i include 9 as well (4,6),(5,5),(5,6),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6) 2(.1*.2)+2(.15*.2)+.15^2+.2^2=.1625

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh thats weird cause it says greater than nine. thanks a lot for the:)
