Question

a pair of dice is thrown once find the probability of getting a total of 9

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{1/9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When a die is thrown the outcome can be any of the numbers from 1 to 6.

If two dice are thrown the set of outcomes that ensure the sum is 9 is

{(3, 6), (6,3), (4, 5), (5, 4)}.

The total number of possible outcomes is 6*6 = 36

This gives the required probability as 4/36 = 1/9

Answer 2

Answer:

1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Total outcome= 6×6

= 36

the sum is 9.

{( 3,6), (6,3), (4,5), (5,4)

= 4/36

=1/9 . ans.
