Gas guzzling (ExH). Consider the Two-Dice Random Gas Station described in the text. The price you pay for a gallon of gas is equal to the average of the numbers showing after rolling two dice. What are the chances that you will pay only $1 per gallon of gas? What are the chances that you will pay $6 per gallon? Use your answers to the two previous questions to determine the chances that you will pay something more than $1 but less than $6 per gallon.
