Lizzie rolls two dice. What is the probability that the sum of the dice is: a(Divisible by 3) = ?
b(Less than 7) = ?
c(Divisible by 3 and less than 7) = ?

Step-by-step explanation:

Total outcomes possible: 36

A. Divisible by 3

Possible options are:

3, 6, 9 and 12.

Possible outcomes for 3 are: {(1,2), (2,1)} Count 2

Possible outcomes for 6 are: {(1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (5,1),(4,2)} Count 5

Possible outcomes for 9 are: {(3,6), (4,5), (5,4),(6,3)} Count 4

Possible outcomes for 12 are: {(6,6)} Count 1

Total count = 2 + 5 + 4 + 1 = 12

Probability of an event E can be formulated as:

B. Less than 7:

Possible sum can be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Possible cases for sum 2: {(1,1)}  Count 1

Possible cases for sum 3: {(1,2), (2,1)}  Count 2

Possible cases for sum 4: {(1,3), (3,1), (2,2)}  Count 3

Possible cases for sum 5: {(1,4), (2,3), (3,2),(4,1)}  Count 4

Possible cases for sum 6: {(1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (5,1),(4,2)} Count 5

Total count = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15

C. Divisible by 3 and less than 7:

Here, common cases are:

Possible outcomes for 3 are: {(1,2), (2,1)} Count 2

Possible outcomes for 6 are: {(1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (5,1),(4,2)} Count 5

the answer is y = 11.54
