OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, but im only allowed 3 more minutes for this problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at the most 4 but that's it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are your choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no choices for this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the probability of a it adding to less than 6 = (10/36) the probability of it being even is = ( 13/36) the sums (3+3)(2+4)(5+1) don't count cuss they overlap

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isn't the probability of it being even: 14/ 36 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can't count over laps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand what u mean by overlaps :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actally yea its 14/36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no wait no its not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cuss there are a total of 18/36 and subtract 6 because of the over laps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 15 actually

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea there's a total of 18 and why do u subtract 6 again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on tell me what u were saying 1st

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because remember that (5,1) (3,3) (2,4) = 3 x 2 for reverse order = 6 18 - 6 = 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and all those add to an even number 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you mean you counted 18 even numbers right because the other half is odd?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

than you can't have it both being even and less than 6 so you have to take those out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are 4 that are even and less than 6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you do 18-4 = 14/36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

= 7/18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no cuz the sums that are even (not including less than 6) are: 5,1 4,2 3,3 2,4 1,5 6,2 5,3 4,4 3,5 2,6 6,4 5,5 4,6 6,6 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh oops!! yeah there is only 14 nvm!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea that's it just simplify it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im running out of time :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14/36 = 7/18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7/18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really? wow at first I thought it would end up to be like 2/3 or someting

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha no you wouldn't

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@vinnv226 is that the right answer? 7/18? I just need a second opinion, thts all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, I can't open whatever file type you uploaded

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its Microsoft word 2007-2010... not everybody has that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@FutureMathProfessor is 7/18 the right answer? I just need a second opinion, thts all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ybarrap

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@vinnv226 try now. can u see it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good job @music101 now ask whomever before and tell them you changed the format.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he didn't respond

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@primeralph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is 7/18 right?

OpenStudy (primeralph):

Hold on.

OpenStudy (primeralph):

@music101 A little busy now. Can't do it. I'm sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 24 successes out of 36 outcomes=12/18=6/9=2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There are 18 even numbers, plus 6 values that are odd but less than 6. So 24/36.
