for 1 die, find:
(a) P (roll a "7")
(b) P (roll a "multiple of 3")
Expert Solution
Step 1
a.finding the probability that the die comes up value 7:
It is given that die is rolled one time.
When a six sided die is rolled one time, the probability of each outcome is 1/6.
The sample space when a die is rolled is {1,2,3,4,5,6} and all outcomes are equally likely.
The sample space does not contain the value 7. Thus, the probability of rolling a 7 is 0.
In other words, the probability that the die comes up value 7 is obtained as follows:
