Answer:
If the sum is 6, the vacation destination will be London.
If the sum is 7, the vacation destination will be Alaska.
If the sum is 9, the vacation destination will be New Mexico.
If the sum is 8, 10 or 12, the vacation destination will be Puerto Rico.
Step-by-step explanation:
Create a sample space for the 2 spins (see attached).
From the sample space, the probabilities are:
- P(sum is 6) = 4/16
- P(sum is 7) = 4/16
- P(sum is 8) = 1/16
- P(sum is 9) = 4/16
- P(sum is 10) = 2/16
- P(sum is 12) = 1/16
Therefore, to make a fair decision:
As the sum of 6, 7 and 9 each have equal probabilities (4/16), they should each be attritbuted to one destination.
As the sum of 8, 10 and 12 combined equal the same probability as the sum of 6, 7, and 9 individually, the sum of 8, 10 and 12 should be assigned to one destination combined.
Solution
If the sum is 6, the vacation destination will be London.
If the sum is 7, the vacation destination will be Alaska.
If the sum is 9, the vacation destination will be New Mexico.
If the sum is 8, 10 or 12, the vacation destination will be Puerto Rico.
