Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's examine each event and determine which outcomes meet the criteria:
Given Outcomes:
The possible outcomes when a number cube is rolled three times are:
- EOO
- OEE
- EEE
- OOO
- OEO
- EEO
- OOE
- EOE
Event A: More odd numbers than even numbers
For this event, we need outcomes where the count of odd numbers is greater than even numbers.
- EOO, OOO, OEO, OOE
So, check these outcomes for Event A.
Event B: An odd number on each of the first two rolls
For this event, the first two rolls need to be odd numbers.
- OOO, OOE
Check these outcomes for Event B.
Event C: An even number on the first roll or the second roll (or both)
For this event, we need outcomes where either the first roll, the second roll, or both are even.
- EOO, OEE, EEE, EEO, EOE
Check these outcomes for Event C.
Probability Calculation
Each outcome has an equal probability. Since there are 8 possible outcomes, the probability of each event is calculated by counting the successful outcomes and dividing by 8.
- Event A: 4 successful outcomes → Probability =
- Event B: 2 successful outcomes → Probability =
- Event C: 5 successful outcomes → Probability =
