add up all the outcomes
the probability of getting a 1 is 7 divided by this sum ( times 100 for percentage.
calculate the probabilty of a 6 in a similar way.
now, do you add or multiply these probabilities to get the final answer?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lets write prob of rolling 1 as P(1) and prob of rolling 6 as p(6)
then P(1) = 7/30 [ as there 30 outcomes on total and 7 are favourable]
and P(6) = 4/30
now P(1) or P(6) is adding both probabilities we get 11/30

thx
OpenStudy (anonymous):
to get percentage , u have to multiply it with 100
