Hey! Do you want the answer or would you like help step by step?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if u might step by step it will be help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or u can give the answer too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. Lets look at the cards and dice separately. What's the probability of winning on the dice part?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(Or you can start on the cards part if that's easier for you)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's definitely 1/2 if you have only one dice. But we've got two dice, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you roll two dice, you'll get a score between two and twelve. Which scores are winning scores?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It should be 3, 6, 9, or 12.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^and, not or.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok is this the final answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, the final answer will take a while to get to, I think. For the cards part, there's 3 winning cards in every suit, so the chance of winning that part is 3/13. For the dice part, you add up the chance of getting a score of 3,6,9 and 12, which comes to 12/36 so 1/3. You then combine the two to get 1/3 times 3/13 which is 1/13.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which is the final answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/13 the final

thnx so much
