Answer to Problem 137E

Solution: The probabilities are as follows:

P(A)=136P(B)=1536

Explanation of Solution

Given: A={2 on the first roll}, B={8 or more on the first roll}.

Explanation:

Calculation: The sample space can be shown as follows:

S={(1,1)(1,2)(1,3)(1,4)(1,5)(1,6)(2,1)(2,2)(2,3)(2,4)(2,5)(2,6)(3,1)(3,2)(3,3)(3,4)(3,5)(3,6)(4,1)(4,2)(4,3)(4,4)(4,5)(4,6)(5,1)(5,2)(5,3)(5,4)(5,5)(5,6)(6,1)(6,2)(6,3)(6,4)(6,5)(6,6)}

So, using the sample space, a table can be formed as follows:

Using the table, for event A, there is only one way of getting a sum of two on the first roll and there are total 36 outcomes possible. Therefore:

P(A)=Favorable outcomesTotal outcomes=136

For event B, there are 15 ways of getting a sum of 8 or more on the first roll and there are total 36 outcomes possible. Therefore:

P(B)=Favorable outcomesTotal outcomes=5+4+3+2+136=1536

Hence, the probability P(A) is 136 and the probability P(B) is 1536.

Answer to Problem 137E

Solution: The probabilities are as follows:

P(A)=136P(B)=1536

Explanation of Solution

Given: A={2 on the first roll}, B={8 or more on the second roll}.

Explanation:

Calculation: By using the table in part (a), for event A, there is only one way of getting a sum of two on the first roll and there are total 36 outcomes possible. Therefore:

P(A)=Favorable outcomesTotal outcomes=136

By using the table in part (a), for event B, there are 15 ways of getting a sum of 8 or more on the second roll and there are total 36 outcomes possible. Therefore:

P(B)=Favorable outcomesTotal outcomes=5+4+3+2+136=1536

Hence, the probability P(A) is 136 and the probability P(B) is 1536.

Answer to Problem 137E

Solution: The probabilities are as follows:

P(A)=1036P(B)=636

Explanation of Solution

Given: A={5 or less on second roll}, B={4 or less on the first roll}.

Explanation:

Calculation: By using the table in part (a), for event A, there are 10 ways of getting a sum of 5 or less on the second roll and there are total 36 outcomes. Therefore:

P(A)=Favorable outcomesTotal outcomes=4+3+2+136=1036

By using the table in part (a), for event B, there are 6 ways of getting a sum of 4 or less on the first roll and there are total 36 outcomes possible. Therefore:

P(B)=Favorable outcomesTotal outcomes=3+2+136=636

Hence, the probability P(A) is 1036 and the probability P(B) is 636.
