Fan and medal! Thank you so much♥ The sample space for a roll of two number cubes is shown in the table. (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)|(6,5)|(6,5)|(6,6) The two numbers rolled can be added to get a sum. Find P(sum is less than 4) A. 1/12 B. 5/36 C. 2/9 D. 11/12

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

How many different outcomes are there in the sample space?

OpenStudy (daniiii2020):

Is the correct answer B?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

No. Once again, how many different outcomes are there?

OpenStudy (amypurplediaz28):

can someone help me with my question pls i dont mean to interupt

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

12? There are 6 outcomes per line, and there are 6 lines. What is 6 * 6?

OpenStudy (daniiii2020):

36

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct. Now count how many outcomes have a sum of less than 4.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Remember, we need "less than 4", so you want sums of only 2 and 3.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Here are some of the smaller sums in red. How many are less than 4? (1,1) Sum \(\color{red}{2}\)|(1,2) Sum \(\color{red}{3}\)|(1,3) Sum \(\color{red}{4}\)|(1,4)|(1,5),(1,6) (2,1) Sum \(\color{red}{3}\)|(2,2)Sum \(\color{red}{4}\)|(2,3) Sum \(\color{red}{5}\)|(2,4)|(2,5)|(2,6) (3,1) Sum \(\color{red}{4}\)|(3,2) Sum \(\color{red}{5}\)|(3,3)|(3,4)|(3,5)|(3,6) (4,1) Sum 5|(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)|(6,5)|(6,5)|(6,6)

OpenStudy (daniiii2020):

Is the correct answer A?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Right. There are 3 sums under 4: (1,1), (1, 2), (2, 1) 3/36 = 1/12 A is correct.

OpenStudy (daniiii2020):

OMG thank you so much and thank you for your patience with me!
