(a) Sample space

(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6)(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)

(b) PA=16

(c) localid="1648907102244" PB=712

(d) P(AB)=17

(e) A and B are not mutually exclusive events.

(f) A and B are not independent.

Step by step solution

01

Given information (part a)

Roll two fair dice separately. Each die has six faces.

02

Explanation (part a)

Sample space:

(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6)(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)

03

Given information (part b)

Roll two fair dice separately. Each die has six faces.

04

Given information (part b)

Total number of possible outcomes=36

LetA be the event that either a three or four is rolled first, followed by an even number.

Possible outcomes of the event=(3,2),(3,4),(3,6)(4,2),(4,4),(4,6)

Thus, probability either a three or four is rolled first followed by an even number

PA=636PA=16

05

Given information (part c)

Roll two fair dice separately. Each die has six faces.

06

Explanation (part c)

Let B be the event that the sum of the two rolls is at most seven.

Possible outcomes of the events

=(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6)(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5)(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4)(4,1),(4,2),(4,3)(5,1),(5,2)(6,1)

Total number of outcomes=21

Thus the probability that the sum of the two rolls is at most seven is calculated as

PB=2136PB=712

07

Given information (part e)

Roll two fair dice separately. Each die has six faces.

08

Explanation (part d)

Let A be the event that either a three or four is rolled first, followed by an even number.

Sample space of the event A

=(3,2),(3,4),(3,6)(4,2),(4,4),(4,6)

Let B be the events that sum of the two rolls is at most seven.

Sample space of the event B

=(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5)(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4)(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(5,1),(5,2)(6,1)

Thus, possible outcomes for (AB)=(3,2),(3,4),(4,2),

Total number of outcomes=3

P(AB)=P(AANDB)P(B)P(AB)=3362136P(AB)=321P(AB)=17

In words, localid="1648370537292" P(AB)means that the face drawn is either a three or four followed by an even number, given that the sum of two rolls is at most seven.

09

Given information (part e)

Roll two fair dice separately. Each die has six faces.

10

Explanation (part e)

Let A be the event that either a three or four is rolled first followed by an even number.

Possible outcomes of the event=(3,2),(3,4),(3,6)(4,2),(4,4),(4,6)

Let B be the event that the sum of the two rolls is at most seven.

Possible outcomes of the events

=(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6)(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5)(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4)(4,1),(4,2),(4,3)(5,1),(5,2)(6,1)

we observe that there are few common outcomes in events A and B

Thus events A and B are not mutually exclusive.

11

Given information (part e)

Roll two fair dice separately. Each die has six faces.

12

Explanation (part e)

Let A be the event that either a three or four is rolled first, followed by an even number.

Possible outcomes of the event=(3,2),(3,4),(3,6),(4,2),(4,4),(4,6)

Total number of outcomes=6

Thus, probability either a three or four is rolled first, followed by an even number is calculated as

PA=636PA=16

Let B be the event that the sum of the two rolls is at seven.

Possible outcomes of the events

=(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(5,1),(5,2),(6,1)

The possible outcomes=3

Thus, P(AB)is calculated as

P(AANDB)=P(AB)P(B)P(AB)=P(AANDB)P(B)P(AB)=3362136P(AB)=321P(AB)=17

we observe P(AB)P(A)

The first condition is not satisfied. Thus, events A and B are not independent.
