Description

This example demonstrates a key principle in probability where we consider the probability of rolling a pair of dice whose numbers add up to 2, followed by another roll that adds up to 12. The image displays a grid of all possible outcomes of rolling two fair dice, with a solution for finding the probability of rolling a pair that adds up to 2, followed by another roll that adds up to 12. These are two independent events, and the solution involves calculating the probability of each independent event and then multiplying the probabilities. By seeing multiple worked-out examples, students can deepen their comprehension and master essential concepts in probability. Visual representations help connect abstract ideas to practical applications, enabling students to approach problems from different angles. Furthermore, consistent practice with a variety of examples is crucial for understanding and internalizing mathematical principles.
