Question

Suppose two players are playing a game and a fair die is rolled once to see who wins.

**Leave all answers as unsimplified fractions

Round 1:

Player 1 needs an even number to win, what is the probability that they win?        

 

Player 2 needs a 3 to win, what is the probability that they win?        

Are these two events disjoint (mutually exclusive)?  yes/no   

  • yes
  • no

 

                         **Hint: Can they win at the same time?  If they can, they are not disjoint

 

If not, what is the overlap, (what is the probability they BOTH win)?     

  • no
  • yes
  • na

 

What is the probability that Player 1 OR Player 2 win?       

                       **Leave as an unsimplified fraction
