A pair of dice is thrown and sum of dice come up multiple of 4 then find probability that at least one dice shows four?
2/7
4/9
1/9
5/8
Answers
Answer:
There are six faces for each of two dice, giving 36 possible outcomes. If the two dice are fair, each of 36 outcomes is equally likely. Three outcomes sum to 4: (1+3), (2+2) and (3+1). Probability of getting a sum of 4 on one toss of two dice is 3/36, or 1/12.

Given :-
◉ A pair of dice is thrown and sum of dice come up multiple of 4.
To Find :-
◉ Probability that atleast one dice shows four.
Solution :-
Before getting into the solution of this question, Let us first write the sample space:
11 12 13 14 15 16
21 22 23 24 25 26
31 32 33 34 35 36
41 42 43 44 45 46
51 52 53 54 55 56
61 62 63 64 65 66
To Be Noted :-
Because there are two dices, Hence possible outcomes is 6ⁿ which is 36 ; n = number of dice.
So, First step is to find all the outcomes whose sum is multiple of 4 from the possible outcomes, which are:
13 22 26 31
35 44 53 62
66
We find that, There is only one outcome among possible outcomes whose sum is a multiple of 4 and It contains the digit 4.
⇒ Probability = Favourable Outcomes / Possible Outcomes
∴ Probability = 1 / 9
Hence, Option (3) is correct.
