For the experiment of rolling an ordinary pair of dice, find the probability that the sum will be oddodd or a multiple of 33. (You may want to use a table showing the sum for each of the 36 equally likely outcomes.)
Dash and Lily Corporation wanted to raise funds for the poor. The first prize for a raffle is S500,000 (with a probability of 0.001) and the second prize is S250,000 (with a probability of0.003). What is a fair price to pay for a single ticket in this raffle?
In gambling, the chances of winning are often written in terms of odds rather than probabilities. The odds of winning is the ratio of the number of successful outcomes to the number of unsuccessful outcomes. The odds of losing is the ratio of the number of unsuccessful outcomes to the number of successful outcomes. For example, if the number of successful outcomes is 2 and the number of unsuccessful outcomes is 3, the odds of winning are 2:3 (read "2 to 3") or 2 2 (Note: If the odds of winning are the probability of success is 3' 5.) 2 3 The odds of an event occurring are 3:1. Find (a) the probability that the event will occur and (b) the probability that the event will not occur.
