A board game requires players
79 Board games and dice
to roll a pair of balanced dice for each player's turn.
Denote the outcomes by (die 1, die 2), such as
5 on die 1 and a 3 on die 2.
(5, 3) for a
a. List the sample space of the 36 possible outcomes for
the two dice.
b. Let A be the event that you roll doubles (that is, each
die has the same outcome). List the outcomes in A
and find its probability.
c. Let B be the event that the sum on the pair of dice is
7. Find P(B).
d. Find the probability of (i) A and B, (ii) A or B, and
(ii) B given A.
e. Are events A and B independent, disjoint, or neither?
Explain.
