Stacy rolls a pair of six-sided fair dice.



The probability that the sum of the numbers rolled is either a multiple of 3 or an even number is


, and the two events are exclusive.

Answer:

Pr(the sum of the numbers rolled is either a multiple of 3 or an even number)=[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event "sum of numbers is multiple of 3"

and B be the event "sum is an even number".

As our dice has six sides, so the sample space of two dices will be of 36 ordered pairs.

|sample space | = 36

Out of which 11 pairs have the sum multiple of 3 and 18 pairs having sum even.

So Pr(A)= [tex]\frac{11}{36}[/tex]

and Pr(B)= [tex]\frac{18}{36}[/tex]

and Pr(A∩B) = [tex]\frac{5}{36}[/tex], as 5 pairs are common between A and B.

So now Pr(A or B)= Pr(A∪B)

                            = Pr(A)+Pr(B) - Pr(A∩B)

                            = [tex]\frac{11}{36}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{18}{36}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{5}{36}[/tex]

                            = [tex]\frac{24}{36}[/tex]

                            = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
