You bought some fancy dice at your role-playing store. For a particular throw in the game you will be using a 4-sided die (sides 1-4) and an 8-sided die (sides 1-8). a)State the Laplacian space Ω that contains all the possible outcomes of throwing the two dice simultaneously. b) You throw both dice and sum up the results. What is the probability of getting a sum of 7? State the elements of the event A explicitly. c) If you need a 7 and you had the choice of throwing two standard dice, or a 4-sided and an 8-sided dice, which choice would you make?

Hector is playing a new video game. To get to the next level, he must capture the golden brick and then choose the correct door. The chance that he captures the golden brick is 70%. The chance that he chooses the correct door is 40%. The probability that he does both is 20%.

A system has six components connected as shown in the following diagram: A Assume A, B, C, D, E, and F function independently. If the probabilities that A, B, C, D, E, and F fail are 0.01, 0.05, 0.02, 0.08, 0.10, and 0.05 respectively, what is the probability that the system fails?
Kylie has 12 pieces of candy left in her Halloween bag. There are 8 pieces of chocolate and 4 pieces of non-chocolate. She chooses a piece of candy at random and then chooses another piece of candy, without replacement. Draw a tree diagram to represent this situation and use it to calculate the probabilities that she picks:Two pieces of chocolate No chocolate At least one piece of non-chocolate One piece of each type
