each face of 2 cubes with faces numbered from 1 through 6 has a 1/6 chance of landing up when the 2 cubes are tossed. what is the probability that the sum of the two numbers on the faces landing up will be less than 6?

Respuesta :

Using the probability concept, it is found that there is a [tex]\frac{5}{18}[/tex] probability that the sum of the two numbers on the faces landing up will be less than 6.

What is a probability?

  • A probability is given by the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this problem:

  • Two cubes, each with 6 outcomes, hence there is a total of 6² = 36 outcomes.
  • These following outcomes result in a sum that will be less than 6: (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (3,1), (3,2), (4,1), hence 10 outcomes.

Then:

[tex]p = \frac{10}{36} = \frac{5}{18}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5}{18}[/tex] probability that the sum of the two numbers on the faces landing up will be less than 6.
