Allen · Answer 1

Probability = Desired outcomes (m) / Possible outcomes (n)

Desired outcomes:

1 + 1, 1 + 2, 1 + 3, 1 + 4, 1 + 6,

2 + 1, 2 + 2, 2 + 3, 2 + 5,

3 + 1, 3 + 2, 3 + 4,

4 + 1, 4 + 3

5 + 2,

6 + 1.

m = 16

Possible outcomes : 6² = 36, n = 36

P (A) = 16 / 36 = 0.4444 ... ≈ 0.444

Answer: A) 0.444
