Lightning Question!

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

Two dice are rolled. The probability of one die shows a 4 is?

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

Is 5/18 correct? If so, explanation?

OpenStudy (redohawk):

wouldn't it be 2/12

OpenStudy (redohawk):

because there are twelve different possibilities and two of them are 4

OpenStudy (redohawk):

so 2/12 or 1/6

OpenStudy (mandywestside):

I agree with @RedoHawk. Each die will have 6 on it, add them together to get 12. Each die only has four appearing once. So, 2 instances, 12 total outcomes. 2/12 = 1/6.

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

uhmm. I'm pretty sure that there are 10 outcomes where there is one 4 for each pair

OpenStudy (mathmate):

|dw:1464907413713:dw| Total outcomes: 36 Exactly one 4, count the X =10/36 At least one 4 count the X and the O = 11/36 Both are 4, count the O = 1/36 It depends on the interpretation of the question.
