    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.
