problem of the week

[yoteamo79]

NIKI AND TOM ARE HAVING A DISAGREEMENT ON PROBABILITY OF ROLLING TWO DICE AND GETTING A SUM THAT IS EITHER PRIME OR COMPOSITE. NIKI THINKS THERE IS A GREATER CHANCE OF GETTING A PRIME NUMBER SUM TOM THINKS THERE IS A GREATER CHANCE OF GETTING A COMPOSITE NUMBER SUM. DETERMINE WHO IS CORRECT AND THE PROBABILITY OF ROLLING EACH TYPE OF SUM HINT:USE A SAMPLE SPCE TO SHOW ALL POSSIBLE OUTCOMES.


I REALLY NEED HELP WITH QUESTION

THANKS

why are you yelling? and wouldn't you have better chances at the think tank where all the smart people are?

[biff]

unless the original topic is in the think tank and if so just ignore that last part.
