Give two examples of Bernoulli trials other than those presented in the text.
Explain what is wrong with the following argument: When two balanced dice are rolled, the sum of the dice can be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12, giving 11 possibilities. Therefore the probability is that the sum is 12.
