Question

A pair of dice is tossed simultaneously. Find the probability that
(1) the sum numbers on the dice is 12
(2) the product of numbers on the dice is 12.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) total number of outcomes in throwing a pair of dice = 6 × 6 = 36

favourable outcome is only one (6, 6)

the required probability = 1/36

(2) total number of outcomes in throwing a pair of dice = 6 × 6 = 36

there are 4 favourable outcomes

(2, 6), (3, 4), (4, 3) (6, 2)

the required probability = 4/36= 1/9

Answer 2

Answer:

(I) 1/36
