7.5 Exercise 1

Avg difficulty 2.5

Consider an experiment that consists of rolling a single standard 6-sided die (with faces numbered 1-6). Decide if these probabilities are equal to zero, equal to one, or somewhere in between.

  1. P(roll a 4)P \left(\text{roll a 4}\right)
  2. P(roll a 7)P \left(\text{roll a 7}\right)
  3. P(roll a positive number)P \left(\text{roll a positive number}\right)
  4. P(roll a13)P \left(\text{roll a} \frac{1}{3}\right)
  5. P(roll an even number)P \left(\text{roll an even number}\right)
  6. P(roll a single-digit number)P \left(\text{roll a single}-\text{digit number}\right)
