Question

You roll 2 dice. What is the probability that the sum of the dice is odd and both dice show the number 5?

Answer 1

there's this definition for probability of an event \(A\): \(\frac{\text{number of situations making \(A\) true}}{\text{total number of situations}}\).
How many situations are there for your event?

Answer 2

two

Answer 3

Think about it...
If both dice show number 5
this means the sum of the two dice is 10 which is even (not odd)

So there is no way the sum can be odd, whilst both dice have a number 5
ie. P=0

Does that make sense?

Answer 4

yes thank you @sarahusher

Answer 5

Or is this two separate events, and you want the probability of each event as opposed to both?

Answer 6

no, that was enough. thank you tho

Answer 7

You're welcome :)
