Two different dice are tossed together. Find the probability
Probability (10)Two different dice are tossed together. Find the probability :
- of getting a doublet
- of getting a sum 10, of the numbers on the two dice.
Answer
Total number of possible outcomes = 36
i. Doublets are (1, 1) (2, 2) (3, 3) (4, 4) (5, 5) (6, 6)
Total number of doublets = 6
Prob (getting a doublet) = 6/36 or 1/6
ii. Favourable outcomes are (4, 6) (5, 5) (6, 4) i.e., 3
Prob (getting a sum 10) = 3/36 or 1/12
