An experiment consists of rolling two fair dice and adding the dots on the two sides facing up therefore what is the probability that the sum of the dots is divisible by 2 and 3?

There are two possible sums that add up to a number evenly divisible by 2 and 3, namely 6 and 12.
There are 5 different ways to roll a sum of 6, so the probability of that happening is 5/36.
There is 1 way to roll a sum of 12, so the probability of that happening is 1/36.
The probability of either happening is the sum of the two separate probabilities.
p=5/36+1/36=6/36=1/6 ~= .1667 = 16.67%

The probability of obtaining a sum greater 8 or less than 6?
The answer depends on what the experiment consists of. Since that is not specified, there can be no sensible answer.
An experiment consists of flipping a coin and then rolling a die What is the probability of observing a head on the coin or a 3 on the die?
The probability of flipping a Head is the same as that for a Tail and is 1/2 or 50%. The probability of rolling a particular number on a die is 1/6 since there are 6 numbers. Combining these two probabilities (by multiplication) we have, as the combined probability 1/2 x 1/6 = 1/12 = 0.0833333333333333(the 3 recurs) which as a percentage is 8.33333333333%

What is an example of a binomial experiment?
A binomial experiment is a experiment that consists of repeated trails, with two possible outcomes. An example of this would be a coin toss.Ê
Is it true or false that a number is divisible by 6 if and only if it is divisible by 3?
False. The question consists of two parts: - a number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by 3? False. It must also be divisible by 2. - a number is divisible by 6 only if it is divisible by 3? This is true but the false part makes the whole statement false.
