i said that "1 is the hights proboblity, you cant have more than 1." not sure if i am correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add these probabilities, they will sum to 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and when every element is covered in sample space, their probability sum will be 1

thanks. for the same question above i have another one. """If the simulated dice is ‘rolled’ twice, what is the probability of obtaining a total value of 7? (Show your working.)""?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

because for any event there is 100% chance something will happen you can roll a die and have it land on any value other than 1 thru 6 right? so all those possible cases have a certain probability, the sum reflects the total amount of outcomes which has to have probability of 100% since anything else is impossible :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@dumbcow you giving me more understanding thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7 can be obtained in these ways: 1,6 2,5 3,4 4,3 5,2 6,1 as they r independent events, u have to multiply teir probabilities and add the products

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so will it be 1 + 6 = 7, 2+5 = 7 ect?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no.. add multiply their probabilities probability for occuring 1: 1/6 probability for occuring 6: 1/12 so, probability to occur both: 1/6 *1/12= 1/72 similarly, have to find out probability of occuring 2,5 together, 3,4 together and so on.. finally add these products

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it now!, thanks a lot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

another question i have for the same ""Does the result above (for a total value of 7) differ from the result that would be obtained with an unbiased dice? (Show your working.)"""
