help please

let's start by circling each outcome where at least one of the dice is 4
so you would just circle every number in column 4 and row 4
|dw:1507255274002:dw|
then cross out all outcomes that are > 5
|dw:1507255316763:dw|
that's it for part I
so when crossing it out I basically corss out all of the number I circles except for the 5's
right (but also include all sums greater than 5, not just the ones circled)
okay =)
the total numbers of 4 is 12 right for the next question
make sure to count each circled number only once
|dw:1507255683946:dw|
ohh I only count 8 once?
ohh I only count 8 once?
yes
oh okay that's where I screwed up
so it's just 11/36 for the first one
for Part B: number of crossed out numbers/36
26/36
13/18
good
for Part C, multiply your answers from part A and B ("and" in probability means multiply)
(11/36)(13/18) = leave it as a fraction
143/648
good
part D you would just add the answers from part B and A (11/36 + 13/18) = ?
in probability, "or" means add
1 1/36
or 37
37/36
oh hold on, i missed something
you would then take 37, then subtract the numbers that are BOTH crossed out and circled
I count 9, so it would be (37-9)/36
28/36
basically, the formula is (number of outcomes involving 4 on a die) + (number of outcomes greater than 5) - (number of outcomes that satistfy both these criteria)
so yes, 28/36 or 7/9
