Question

Find the probability of getting 9,7 and 6 when two dice are thrown

Answer 1

Answer:

Probability of getting 9=(3,6),(6,3),(4,5),(5,4)=4outcomes

Probability of getting 7=(1,6),(6,1),(2,5),(5,2),(3,4),(4,3)=6 outcomes

Probability of getting 6=(1,5),(5,1),(2,4),(4,2),(3,3)=5outcomes

total favourable outcomes=15

total possible outcomes=6×6=36

probability of getting favourable outcomes=15/36

which is equal to 5/12
