Question

A standard pair of six sided dice is rolled. What is the probability of rolling a sum greater than 7?

Answer 1

what is you sample space?

Answer 2

or what is the total outcomes?

Answer 3

start writing the pairs that you can get from this experiment
(1,1)(1,2)(1,3)(1,4)(1,5)(1,6)
(2,1)(2,2)(2,3)(2,4)(2,5)(2,6)
(3.1)(3,2)(3,3)(3,4)(3,5)(3,6)
(4,1)(4,2)(4,3)(4,4)(4,5)(4,6)
(5,1)(5,2)(5,3)(5,4)(5,5)(5,6)
(6,1)(6,2)(6,3)(6,4)(6,5)(6,6)
====
so we have 36 possible outcomes
look for the ones that sum up to greater than 7

Answer 4

i found 15 possibilities for an outcomes that sum up to a number greater than 7

Answer 5

carry the rest! i give half the answer here
