Question

A pair of dice is thrown and the number appearing have sum greater than or equal to 10 the probability of getting a sum 10 is :

Answer 1

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The Possible outcomes of a dice={1,2,3,4,5,6} and {1,2,3,4,5,6}

If the probability of getting a sum 10

possible outcomes={4,6}{5,5}{5,6}{6,4}{6,5},{6,6}

                              =6

No of outcomes when dice are rolled=36

  Probability=6/36

                    =1/6

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that ,

when a pair of dice are thrown than , there may come 36

outcomes .

So, n(S) = 36

Let E be the event of getting a sum 10

Here given that the no. Will be 10 or more .

So the outcomes will be

(4,6);(5,5);(5,6);(6,4);(6,5);6,6)

n(E) = 6

▪p(E) = 6/36

= 1/6
