Question

A pair of dice is thrown once. What is the probability of getting the sum of both the die as 11??

Answer 1

AnsweR :

Sum is 11.

Lets count the favourable outcomes.

{( (5,6), (6,5)}

As we know there are a total of 36 possible outcomes i.e {(1,1),(1,2),…..,(6,5),(6,6)}

P(E) = Number of favourable outcomes / Total number of outcomes

= 2/36 = 1/18

Answer 2

the probability of getting the sum of both the dies as 11is

(5,6)and(6,5)

total outcome =36

probability= 2/36=1/18
