Six friends decide to share a big cake. Since all of them like the cake, they begin quarreling who gets to first cut and have a piece of
the cake. One friend suggests that they have a blindfold friend choose
from well shuffled set of cards numbered one to six. You check and find that this method works as it should simulating a fair throw of a die. You check by performing multiple simultaneous trials of picking the cards blindfold and throwing a die. You note that the number shown by the method of picking up a card and throwing a real world die, sums to a number between 2 and 12. Which total would be likely to appear more often 8,9 or 10?

- what to say about tcs ...they are making stories...they love making stories...
the ques is indeed very simple...in simple words...u throw two dice and check their sum
8 can be achieved by (2,6),(4,4),(5,3)
9 can be achieved by (3,6),(4,5)
10 can be achieved by (5,5)(4,6)
clearly,there are more ways of achieving 8 than 9,10 so it's probability is also greater - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(43) No(0)
