Math Problem Statement
Solution
The text in the image is in Indonesian and translates to the following:
"3. Two dice are thrown simultaneously. Determine the probability of: (4) The sum of the dice equals 7 (5) The difference of the dice equals 3"
Let's solve these:
(4) Probability that the sum equals 7:
When two six-sided dice (with faces numbered 1 to 6) are rolled, the possible sums range from 2 to 12. The total number of outcomes when rolling two dice is .
The pairs that give a sum of 7 are:
- (1, 6)
- (2, 5)
- (3, 4)
- (4, 3)
- (5, 2)
- (6, 1)
There are 6 outcomes that give a sum of 7. Hence, the probability is:
(5) Probability that the difference equals 3:
The difference between two dice results can be 3 in the following cases:
- (1, 4)
- (2, 5)
- (3, 6)
- (4, 1)
- (5, 2)
- (6, 3)
There are also 6 outcomes that result in a difference of 3. Thus, the probability is:
