how many faces does a die (cube ) have?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Sample Space = 6
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
right
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
so what is the probability of a rolling a 2?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1/3

how many 2's are there on a die?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i wrote the probability of getting 2 or 5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1/6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what to do in 2nd part
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
and the probability of a 5 is also 1/6 so
adding these you got 1/3, right

a)1/6,1/6
b)5/6
not confirm.
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
well for the second part, se the fact that the sum of probabilities is one, and simply take away the probability of 6, (also 1/6),,, so P(¬6)=1-1/6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what ? i did'nt understand
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
which bit?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what will be event in which 6 does not occur ?

u there ?
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
well the probability 6 does occur is 1/6, right?
and the total probability is 1,
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how is it 1?
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
1/6+1/6+1/6+1/6+1/6+1/6=6/6=1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so is 1/6 in which 6 does not occur?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
