I. Consider the random experiment of rolling a pair of dice. Note: Write ALL probabilities as reduced fractions or whole numbers (no decimals).

1) One possible outcome of this experiment is 5-2 (the first die comes up 5 and the second die comes up 2). Write out the rest of the sample space for this experiment below by completing the pattern:

 1-1 2-1 1-2 1-3 1-4 1-5 1-6

2) How many outcomes does the sample space contain? _____________

3) Draw a circle (or shape) around each of the following events (like you would to circle a word in a word search puzzle). Label each event in the sample space with the corresponding letter. Event A has been done for you.

A: Roll a sum of 3.
B: Roll a sum of 7.
C: Roll a sum of at least 10.

D: Roll doubles.
E: Roll snake eyes (two 1’s). F: First die is a 4.

4) Find the following probabilities:
P(A) = _________ P(B) = _________ P(C) = _________

P(D) = _________ P(E) = _________ P(F) = _________

5) The conditional probability of B given A, denoted by P(B|A), is the probability that B will occur when A has already occurred. Use the sample space above (not a special rule) to find the following conditional probabilities:

P(D|C) = _________ P(E|D) = _________ P(D|E) = _________ P(A|B) = _________ P(C|F) = _________

6) Two events are mutually exclusive if they have no outcomes in common, so they cannot both occur at the same time.

Are C and E mutually exclusive? ___________
Find the probability of rolling a sum of at least 10 and snake eyes on the same roll, using the

sample space (not a special rule).
P(C and E) = __________

Find the probability of rolling a sum of at least 10 or snake eyes, using the sample space. P(C or E) = __________

7) Special case of Addition Rule: If A and B are mutually exclusive events, then P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)

P(C or E) = P(C) + P(E) = ________ + ________ = _________

8) Are C and F mutually exclusive? __________ Using sample space, P(C or F) = _________ 9) Find the probability of rolling a “4” on the first die and getting a sum of 10 or more, using the

sample space.
P (C and F) = ________

10) General case of Addition Rule: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B) Use this rule to verify your last answer in #8:

P(C or F) = P(C) + P(F) – P(C and F) = ________ + ________ − ________ = _________

11) Two events are independent if the occurrence of one does not influence the probability of the other occurring. In other words, A and B are independent if P(A|B) = P(A) or if P(B|A) = P(B).

Compare P(D|C) to P(D), using the sample space: P(D|C) = ________ . P(D) = ________ .
Are D and C independent? _________
When a gambler rolls at least 10, is she more or less likely to roll doubles than usual? ___________ Compare P(C|F) to P(C), using the sample space: P(C|F) = ________ . P(C) = ________ .

Are C and F independent? __________
12) Special case of Multiplication Rule: If A and B are independent, then P(A and B) = P(A) · P(B).

P(C and F) = P(C) • P(F) = ________ · ________ = ________ .

13) Find the probability of rolling a sum of at least 10 and getting doubles, using the sample space. P(C and D) = ________ .

14) General case of Multiplication Rule: P(A and B) = P(A) · P(B|A). Use this rule to verify your answer to #13:

P(C and D) = P(C) • P(D|C) = ________ · ________ = ________ .

An experiment was done to determine if a pair of dice is “fair”, that is, the probability that each number on each die is the same. Tom tosses the dice 50 times and determines that the mean sum of the sample is 6.6, with a standard deviation of 1. 133. According to the mechanics of tossing two dice, the mean should be 7. Determine if this is a fair dice at the .05 level of significance. Also determine the p-value....
