Vocaloid:

let's start by circling each outcome where at least one of the dice is 4

Vocaloid:

so you would just circle every number in column 4 and row 4

Vocaloid:

|dw:1507255274002:dw|

Vocaloid:

then cross out all outcomes that are > 5

Vocaloid:

|dw:1507255316763:dw|

Vocaloid:

that's it for part I

zarkam21:

so when crossing it out I basically corss out all of the number I circles except for the 5's

Vocaloid:

right (but also include all sums greater than 5, not just the ones circled)

zarkam21:

okay =)

zarkam21:

the total numbers of 4 is 12 right for the next question

Vocaloid:

make sure to count each circled number only once

Vocaloid:

|dw:1507255683946:dw|

zarkam21:

ohh I only count 8 once?

zarkam21:

ohh I only count 8 once?

Vocaloid:

yes

zarkam21:

oh okay that's where I screwed up

Vocaloid:

so it's just 11/36 for the first one

Vocaloid:

for Part B: number of crossed out numbers/36

zarkam21:

26/36

zarkam21:

13/18

Vocaloid:

good

Vocaloid:

for Part C, multiply your answers from part A and B ("and" in probability means multiply)

Vocaloid:

(11/36)(13/18) = leave it as a fraction

zarkam21:

143/648

Vocaloid:

good

Vocaloid:

part D you would just add the answers from part B and A (11/36 + 13/18) = ?

Vocaloid:

in probability, "or" means add

zarkam21:

1 1/36

zarkam21:

or 37

zarkam21:

37/36

Vocaloid:

oh hold on, i missed something

Vocaloid:

you would then take 37, then subtract the numbers that are BOTH crossed out and circled

Vocaloid:

I count 9, so it would be (37-9)/36

zarkam21:

28/36

Vocaloid:

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)

Vocaloid:

so yes, 28/36 or 7/9
