Question

After two six-sided dice are rolled, what is the probability that the dice faces add up to either a 4 or 6?

Answer 1

1&3,2&2,1&5,2&4,3&3

Answer 2

so 5 chances

Answer 3

now u need to find probability

Answer 4

5/12 = probability

Answer 5

@Salmon

Answer 6

Is that right?

Answer 7

If we were to get statistical then no, but I do believe you are correct Aqual

Answer 8

kk

Answer 9

thx

Answer 10

so there are two dice with six-six sides

yes ?

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

and the question is what is the probability to add up to 4 or 6
so how many sides are two dice total ?

Answer 13

12

Answer 14

yes 12 and on these two dice how much is the 4th and 6th sides total ?

Answer 15

10?

Answer 16

There are 5 combinations of the two that could make up 3 and 6...

Answer 17

4 qnd 6

Answer 18

so divide 5 by 12

Answer 19

yeah lol

Answer 20

on one dice there is one 4th side and one 6th side so on two dice

Answer 21

there are 2 4th sides and 2 6th sides

Answer 22

right?

Answer 23

yes

Answer 24

ok. So I am understanding little pieces of this problem but I am still a little confused. lol

Answer 25

why ? there are 12 sides with probability to add 4 or 6 two time so this is 2+2 =4
4 from 12

so how much ?

Answer 26

1/3?

Answer 27

perfectly

Answer 28

do you understand the way now ?

Answer 29

Yes, I think so! May I send a couple more problems to see if I can get the hang of it a little more?

Answer 30

- so i think just you need try use this way what above used and try solve them in this way

Answer 31

Okay. There are different problems tho. Does this type of equation work to help solve them all?

Answer 32

not really at all - depend what style of cases are there

Answer 33

oh okay

Answer 34

5/36?! 🤔

Answer 35

36 combination with 5 chances?! Idk

wait... it says how many different combinations can you use to add up to 4 and 6 tho so it wouldn't just be four would it?

Answer 37

I need helpppppppppp! lol I am so confusedddddddddddd!

Whats confusing u

Answer 39

f the first number is a 1, then there is a 1 in 6 chance that it would total 4 (1 plus 3)

If the first number is 2, then there is a 1 in 6 chance that it would total 4 (2 plus 2)

If the first number is 3, then there is a 1 in 6 chance that it would total 4 (3 plus 1)

If the first number is 4–6, then it cannot total 4.

Out of a total 36 possibilities, the following possibilities would equal 4

1, then 3

2, then 2

3, then 1

So, there is a 3 out of 36 chance that the sum of the two dice rolled would equal 4

When we simplify, it is a 1 in 12 chance.

But, why is it 1 in 12?

For the first die, it could equal one of 3 numbers, out of a 6 sided die, so it is a 1 in 2 chance. For the second die, however, it could only equal one possible number, given that the first die rolled 1–3

The second die has a 1 in 6 chance of totaling 4.

When we multiply the chances [Math Processing Error]

Then it would give [Math Processing Error]or 1 in 12.
