A die is rolled three times. Find the probability that the sum of the outcomes is:

  1. greater than 9
  2. an odd number

In regards to outcome A, we know that there are 216 possible combinations, and out of those combinations 135 will provide a sum greater than 9.

135/216
## [1] 0.625

Therefore the outcome is 0.625

In regards to outcome B, this can be figured out quite easily since the probability of obtaining an odd number is 50% (i.e. 1,3,5) therefore the answer would be obviously be 0.5
