a) P(sum is less than 3 or greater than 9) = P(2) + P(10) + P(11) + P(12)

                                                                  = 10/1000 + 120/1000 + 80/1000 + 70/1000

                                                                  = 280/1000

                                                                  = 7/25

                                                                  = 0.28

Odds for = (7/25) / (1 - 7/25) = 7/18

b) P(sum is even of divisible by 5) = P(2) + P(4) + P(5) + P(6) + P(8) + P(10) + P(12)

                                                       = 10/1000 + 50/1000 + 70/1000 + 110/1000 + 170/1000 + 120/1000 + 70/1000

                                                       = 3/5

                                                       = 0.6

Odds for = (3/5) / (1 - 3/5) = 3/2
