Answer 1

there's 9 that are less than 6 (not including the 2)

Answer 2

@Psymon help?

Answer 3

The chart is more confusing than it needs to be. I'm drawing my own on some scratch is all :P

Answer 4

but DO U know how to do it...

Answer 5

sorry my limit is 4 minutes for this question

Answer 6

Yeah, I dont think I know itwhen it comes to the term and being thrown in. Too rusty with it all.

Answer 7

Without the and, its just 4/36, but I know thats not the answer.

Answer 8

so u don't know?? ugh! :(

Answer 9

Im not confident if I know and Id rather not give an answer and say its correct.

Answer 10

Otherwise Id say 4/36 reduces to 1/9

Answer 11

Amount of occurence divided by possibilities. 4 occurences of a 2 showing once and being less than 6 divided by 36 overall outcomes means 4/36. Thats what I got, but Im not confident in it.

Answer 12

its not 4/36 in the 1st place..

Answer 13

Well, itd reduce to 1/9. But like I said, Im not confident in my answer *shrugs*

Answer 14

not including the 2 there are 9 numbers less than 6

Answer 15

Right. Which is why I said the and throws me off. Im no good with probability. Sorry no-one else came.

Answer 16

@vinnv226

Answer 17

even without the "and" its 9/36... :(

Answer 18

There are 5 outcomes, out of 36, so 5/36

Answer 19

what???

Answer 20

It only wants one 2, though.

Answer 21

It doesn't say that

Answer 22

there is only one 2!

Answer 23

It just says one die shows a 2. I take that to mean just whatit says.

Answer 24

If one die shows a 2, the other die could be anything. It does not say "exactly one" die shows a 2. Based on the current wording of the problem, it would be 5/36

Answer 25

wouldn't it be 9/36 * 1/6 ???

Answer 26

No, because those are simply only the sums that are less than 6. It needs to satisfy the condition of having a 2 as well.

Answer 27

oh cuz it says AND?

Answer 28

Yeah.

Answer 29

so then... I don't get this

Answer 30

You need to find the outcomes where one die has a 2, and the sum is less than 6. So eliminate all the sums that are 6 or over. Then, which of the remaining outcomes has a 2 in it? See my screenshot i uploaded, I marked the 5 outcomes.

Answer 31

they don't have a 2 in it... :( ?

Answer 32

oh wait I see it cuz to the left/right it can go above 6 but theyre all in the "2" section...

Answer 33

oh ok.. keep going actually

Answer 34

but it says "and ONE die shows a 2" ??

Answer 35

Right, so at least one die needs to show a 2, so you eliminate all outcomes that don't have a 2 in them

Answer 36

so why is it in both of the dice there is a 2? it says "one" right?

Answer 37

ohh. ok.. so its 5/36?

Answer 38

Right, so they're talking about one of the 2 dice. The other die is irrelevant

Answer 39

but the answer is still 5/26..

Answer 40

5/36 I mean?

Answer 41

So what if there was a problem like this:
You toss 3 coins. What is the probability that you get exactly 3 heads given that you get at least one head???

Answer 42

@vinnv226

Answer 43

I'm pretty sure I answered that exact problem earlier today
