Question

You roll 2 dice. What is the probability that the sum of the dice is odd and both dice show the number 5?

Answer 1

I'll upload the chart. This time you can count the pairs that sum to an odd number and both show the number 5. Okay?

Answer 2

I'm sure you know this and you're just overthinking things

Answer 3

5+5 = 10, which is even

if both land on 5, then both will be odd, but the sum will NOT be odd

Answer 4

@jim_thompson5910 I'm not overthinking here. @bekkah323 may be.

Answer 5

no I'm sure your logic is fine Directrix

there's just a much easier way to do this problem

Answer 6

18 pairs sum to an odd number, but non of them both show 5 twice

Answer 7

@bekkah323 How may pairs meet the criteria of an odd sum AND are (5,5)?

Answer 8

none

Answer 9

Yes. So, P(sum of the dice is odd and both dice show the number 5) = ? @bekkah323

Answer 10

0

Answer 11

Yes, you can think of it as 0/36 with zero being the number of favorable outcomes and 36 being the number of possible outcomes. @bekkah323

Answer 12

@bekkah323 The point here "if both land on 5, then both will be odd, but the sum will NOT be odd" is that 5 + 5 = 10 which is even. Therefore, a person might see that the probability is 0. Whatever.

Answer 13

@Directrix thanks for helping with these question i just started probability last week.

Answer 14

Glad to help.

Answer 15

@Directrix yes, i just put up another problem. if you want to help?
