Using the concept of probability, it is found that there is a 0.0592 = 5.92% probability that you get a total of 17 given on the first spin you spin a 2.
-------------------------------------
- A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
- Since you spin a 2 on the first trial, the probability desired is equivalent to the probability of finding a sum of 15 in the next two trials.
-------------------------------------
In each trial, there are 13 possible outcomes(pockets numbered from 0 to 12), so the total number of outcomes is:
[tex]T = 13^2 = 169[/tex]
-------------------------------------
The desired outcomes are those who result in a sum of 15. Thus, they are:
- (3,12), (4,11), (5,10), (6,9), (7,8), (8,7), (9,7), (10,5), (11,4), (12,3).
- That is, 10 desired outcomes, so [tex]D = 10[/tex].
-------------------------------------
Thus, the probability is:
[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{10}{169} = 0.0592[/tex]
0.0592 = 5.92% probability that you get a total of 17 given on the first spin you spin a 2.
