    1. A pair of dice is rolled, find the probability that a sum larger than 4 is rolled.

    There are 36 equally likely outcomes.

    A sum larger than 4 will occur except in these 6 cases:

    {1, 1}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 1}

    p(sum > 4) = 30/36

    = 5/6

    2. Two cards are drawn from a deck of cards, find the probability that a 6 is drawn first and a jack is drawn second. (Drawing is done with replacement)

    P(6, then J) = 4/52 * 4/52

    = 1/169
