Calculation:
A probability experiment is an action, or trial that has varying results. The possible result of a probability experiment is known as outcomes. The set of all possible outcomes is called samplespace. The

Answer to Problem 23E
Sum | probabilities | sum | probabilities |
2 | 0.028 | 8 | 0.1389 |
3 | 0.056 | 9 | 0.1111 |
4 | 0.0833 | 10 | 0.0833 |
5 | 0.1111 | 11 | 0.0556 |
6 | 0.1389 | 12 | 0.0278 |
7 | 0.1667 |
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
There are 36 outcomes and outcomes for a specified event are called favorable outcomes. Whenall outcomes are equally likely, the theoretical probability is described as the ratio of number of favorable outcomes to total number of outcomes. Therefore, the required probability is asfollows:
Equivalently, compute the remaining probabilities. The following tale illustrates the probabilities of remaining sums.
Sum | probabilities | sum | probabilities |
2 | 0.028 | 8 | 0.1389 |
3 | 0.056 | 9 | 0.1111 |
4 | 0.0833 | 10 | 0.0833 |
5 | 0.1111 | 11 | 0.0556 |
6 | 0.1389 | 12 | 0.0278 |
7 | 0.1667 |
Table illustrates the probabilities of rolling each sum in the second column.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the table illustrates the probabilities of rolling each sum in the second column.
Sum | probabilities | sum | probabilities |
2 | 0.028 | 8 | 0.1389 |
3 | 0.056 | 9 | 0.1111 |
4 | 0.0833 | 10 | 0.0833 |
5 | 0.1111 | 11 | 0.0556 |
6 | 0.1389 | 12 | 0.0278 |
7 | 0.1667 |
(c)
To compare: the experimental probabilities of rolling each sum with the theoretical probabilities.
(c)

Answer to Problem 23E
The results show that both are close but not exactly equal.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The experimental probability is the ratio of number of successes to number of trials. Userandom number generator to generate 50 numbers each ranging from 1 to 6 for two dices.
Calculate the sum. Then compute the experimental probability of each sum.
The following screen shot illustrates the probabilities of sums for first 24 trials.
Compare both experimental and theoretical probabilities.
The results show that both are closebut not exactly equal.
Conclusion:
The results show that both are close but not exactly equal.

- 5) You are purchasing a game for $30. You have a 5% off coupon and sales tax is 5%. What will your final price be? Does it matter if you take off the coupon first or add in the tax first? 6) You have ten coupons that allow you to take 10% off the sales price of a jacket, and for some strange reason, the store is going to allow you to use all ten coupons! Does this mean you get the jacket for free? Let's really think about what would happen at the checkout. First, the teller would scan the price tag on the jacket, and the computer would show the price is $100. After the teller scans the first coupon, the computer will take 10% off of $100, and show the price is $90. (Right? Think about why this is.) Then after the teller scans the second coupon, the computer will take 10% off of $90. (a) Continue this reasoning to fill in the table below showing the price of the jacket (y) after you apply x coupons.
