Q10 · Kenwyn plays a board game

10 Kenwyn plays a board game. Two cubes (dice) each have faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. In the game, a throw is rolling the two fair 6-sided dice and then adding the numbers on their top faces. This total is the number of spaces to move on the board. For example, if the numbers are 4 and 3, he moves 7 spaces. (a) Giving each of your answers as a fraction in its simplest form, fi nd the probability that he moves (i) two spaces with his next throw, Answer(a)(i) ................................................ [2] (ii) ten spaces with his next throw. Answer(a)(ii) ................................................ [3] (b) What is the most likely number of spaces that Kenwyn will move with his next throw?
