You roll two fair dice, one green and one red. (a) Are the outcomes on the dice independent? Yes No (b) Find P(1 on green die and 5 on red die). (Enter your answer as a fraction.) (c) Find P(5 on green die and 1 on red die). (Enter your answer as a fraction.) (d) Find P((1 on green die and 5 on red die) or (5 on green die and 1 on red die)). (Enter your answer as a fraction.)

1) yes ; 2) 1/36 ; 3) 1/36 ; 4) 1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Two fair dice : 1 green ; 1 red

A) Are the outcomes on the dice independent:

Yes, becomes the outcome of the green dice does not have any effect on the outcome of the red dice.

B) Find P(1 on green die and 5 on red die).

Probability = (number of required outcome) / (total possible outcomes)

Total outcomes of a dice = 6

P(1 on green) = 1 / 6

P(5 on red) = 1/6

P(1 on green die and 5 on red die) :

(1/ 6) × (1/6) = 1/36

C) Find P(5 on green die and 1 on red die)

P(5 on green) = 1/6

P(1 on red) = 1/6

Find P(5 on green die and 1 on red die):

1/6 × 1/6 = 1/36

D) Find P((1 on green die and 5 on red die) or (5 on green die and 1 on red die))

P(5 on green die and 1 on red die) = 1/36

P(1 on green die and 5 on red die) = 1/36

P((1 on green die and 5 on red die) or (5 on green die and 1 on red die)) =

P(5 on green die and 1 on red die) + P(1 on green die and 5 on red die)

= (1/36 + 1/36) = 2 /36 = 1/18
