1. When a red die and a blue die are rolled, the sample space consists of 36 elements. (a) Construct this sample space. (b) How many elements in the sample space exhibit a 6 on one or both dice? (c) How many elements in the sample space exhibit an even number (2, 4, 6) on the blue die? (d) How many elements in the sample space exhibits a 6 on either die (part b) and an even number on the the blue die (part c)? (e) Why doesn't (b) and (c) add up to (d)? 3. Calculate the probabilities associated with rolling 2 dice. (a) Pr (rolling a 6 on the blue die) (b) Pr (rolling a 6 on the red die) Dr (rolling only one 6)
