Question

2 dice are roll one white and one red ,
what is the probability the value on the red die will be strictly larger than the the value on the white die

anonymous · Answer

so all probabilities is 36 out comes ,

paxpolaris · Answer

right

anonymous · Answer

can we go about which outcomes  are not higher than the white and subtract

paxpolaris · Answer

it's the same amount of work either way...

anonymous · Answer

i can make a chart but how would i go about the top part bc i know it will be over 36 outcomes

anonymous · Answer

in the bottom , red should be started at 2 and white at one

paxpolaris · Answer

WHITE .... RED > Whit
one    ...... 5 possible ways  red can be greater than one (if red is 2,3,4,5 or 6)

anonymous · Answer

so for white one -> there is 5 values of red are larger ,
                   tw0 -> there is 4

anonymous · Answer

etc so this is by using a chart  5+4+3+2+1 = 15/36

anonymous · Answer

is there a math approach ?

paxpolaris · Answer

that's it.
