Question

If 2 dice are tossed, what is the probability that their sum will be odd?

Answer 1

Well there are 6 sides to a dice so 12 but there are only 3 odd numbers on a dice so 3/12 or 1/4

Answer 2

no wait 3/6 or 1/2

Answer 3

7/17?

Answer 4

that doesn't even make sense @anusha.p ..the answer is 1/2

Answer 5

9/21?

Answer 6

Possible 11 sums
\[
\{2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12\}
\]
The 5 odds are\[\{3,5,7,9,11\}
\]
The answer is
\[
\frac 5 {11}
\]

Answer 7

Oh! sorry guys that whole "Sum of the odd numbers thing" my bad D: forgive me D;

Answer 8

Odd+odd=even
Odd+even =odd
even+even=even

so Odd 1st Even 2nd
P(Odd+Even)=
(0.5)(0.5)=0.25
Even 1st Odd 2nd
P(Even+Odd)=(0.5)(0.5)=0.25

Total probability= 0.25+0.25=0.5
