Question

8. A dice has its six faces marked 0,1,1,1,6,6. Two such dice are thrown together and total score is
recorded.(a) how many different scores are possible? (b) What is the probability of getting a total of seven?​

Answer 1

Answer:

a)4/36=1/9

b)2/36=18

Answer 2

Answer:

A. 6

B. 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Each dice has 3 different scores: 0,1,6

So there will be 6 different total scores: 0 (=0+0) , 1 (=0+1) , 6 (=0+6) , 2 (=1+1), 7 (=1+6) , 12 (=6+6).

B. To get a total of 7, you will need 1 and 6 from 2 dices.

Probability of getting 1 = 3/6 = 1/2

Probability of getting 6 = 2/6 = 1/3

Probability of getting 7  = (probability of getting 1 on dice 1) * (probability of getting 6 on dice 2) + (probability of getting 6 on dice 1) * (probability of getting 1 on dice 2) = 1/2 * 1/3 + 1/3 * 1/2 = 1/3
