Question

can you check this for me?!?!



Leander rolls a standard die twice. Which of the following compound events has the greatest chance of occurring?

the probability of 2 and 2

the probability of 2 and 5

the probability of 5 and even

the probability of even and even

Answer 1

it would be (even and even) correct?

Answer 2

the probability of 2 and 2 is 1/6*1/6=1/36
this is the same for 2 and 5 as the probability of getting a 2 is equal as the probability of getting a 5
the probability of 5 and even is 1/6*1/2=1/12 since there is one 5 and there are 3 evens in a sample space of 6
the probability of even and even is therefore 1/2*1/2=1/4 which has the greatest probability of occurring

Answer 3

YAY! i was right!
