An experiment consists of tossing a pair of balanced, six-sided dice. (a) Use the combinatorial theorems to determine the number of sample points in the sample space S. 36 Correct: Your answer is correct. sample points (b) Find the probability that the sum of the numbers appearing on the dice is equal to 6. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Sample space = 36

P(sum of 6) = 5/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of faces on a dice = 6

The sample space, for a toss of 2 dice ; (Number of faces)^number of dice

Sample space = 6^2 = 6*6 = 36

Sum of numbers appearing on the dice = 6

The sum of 6 from the roll of two dice has 5 different outcomes ; Hence, required outcome = 5

Total possible outcomes = sample space = 36

Probability, P = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P = 5 / 36

step-by-step explanation:

here's what happens:

1) the graph of f   = x^2 is shifted 2 units to the right.

2) the resulting graph is reflected in the x-axis, so that the parabola now opens down.

3) this final result is transformed up by 5 units.
