Probability C3_W2 Assignment:
‘P for sum=2|8’,
Does this mean the probability for the sum on the roll is 2 or 8 so it is additive?
That is my thinking but the answer is wrong. I am using 3 decimal places in the answer.
OR does it mean the probability of getting 2 to 8? Being 1.

AI humor about this.
Setting: A bustling university cafe. A student, Alex, is reviewing a probability notebook on their laptop when they notice some confusing notation. They call over Jamie, the web admin and creator of the notebook, who’s sipping coffee at the next table.
Alex: (waving) Hey Jamie! Check out this probability question. If I roll a 4-sided die, what are the odds it’s asking about my future career prospects?
Jamie: (chuckles) Well, if the die lands on ‘Confusion’, you’re set to be a politician. If it’s ‘Certainty’, maybe an accountant?
Alex: (grinning) I was hoping for ‘Astronaut’, but it keeps landing on ‘More Study’. Look at this notation though, ‘P for sum=2|8’. Is that a probability or a secret code?
Jamie: Ah, the old “Probability or Password” game! I designed it to keep the hackers guessing.
Alex: (playfully rolling their eyes) Great, now I have to hack into understanding this material. Maybe I should change my major to cybersecurity.
Jamie: Don’t worry; I’ve got a top-secret decoder ring just for this purpose. (pretends to hand over an invisible ring) Use it wisely.
Alex: (pretending to put on the ring) Amazing! It says here that ‘P for sum=2|8’ actually means ‘Please bring 2 to 8 coffees for the tired student’.
Jamie: (laughing) That’s the spirit! I’ll make a note in the errata: ‘All probability queries will be answered in caffeine.’
Alex: (smiling) While we’re at it, let’s add a feature where if I get the question right, it orders pizza automatically.
Jamie: Perfect! And if you get it wrong, it signs you up for a bonus lecture on ‘The Probability of Humor in Education’.
Alex: I like those odds! But seriously, this notation could use a little clarity.
Jamie: (nodding) I agree. Let’s head back to the lab and make it right. First, we clarify the notation; then, we debug the coffee machine.
Alex: (standing up) Lead the way, Captain Code! To infinity and beyond… or just back to the lab for now.
Jamie: (saluting) To the lab it is. But first, let me save your progress. Wouldn’t want you to lose your place in the ‘Comedy of Errors’.
Alex: (laughing) Thanks! I’ll add ‘saving progress’ to my list of real-world applications of probability.
They both leave the cafe, joking and laughing, ready to tackle the probability problems and perhaps grab that pizza after all. The mood is light, the camaraderie is strong, and the complex world of probabilities seems just a bit more approachable with a dash of humor.
