A random variable is an uncertain variable where there is a number associated with each outcome of the variable. A good example of this is the 6-sided die that is used in games of chance: each throw of the die produces a number from 1 to 6. Consider now a fair die with 7 faces, i.e. it produces 1 to 7 dots on each throw. If such a die is rolled, what is the chance of obtaining a) 6 dots b) 3 dots or 4 dots or 5 dots c) less than 5 dots d) more than 4 dots If two such dice are rolled, what is the chance of obtaining a total of e) 14 dots f) 8 dots g) 3 dots h) 3 dots or 5 dots i) less than 12 dots
