If two dice are thrown simultaneously, then find the probability that the sum of numbers appeared on the dice is 6 or 7?
Answers
Answer:
11/36
Step-by-step explanation:
let a be the event of getting the sum as 6
a={(1,5),(2,4),(3,3),(4,2),(5,1)}
let b be the event of getting the sum as 7
b={(1,6),(2,5),(3,4),(4,3),(5,2),(6,1)}
n(s) =36
n(a) =5 p(a) =5/36
n(b) =6 p(b) =6/36
p(a) +p(b) =11/36
Step-by-step explanation:
When two dices are rolled , there are
6
×
6
=
36
outcomes of the type
(x,y),where x is outcome of first dice and y is outcome of second dice. As both x and y can take values from 1 to 6,there are total 36 outcomes.Of these the outcomes (1,5), (2,4) ,
(3,3),(4,2) and (5,1) denote we have a got a sum of 6 and the outcomes (1,6) , (2,5) , (3,4) , (4,3) , (5,2) and (6,1)
denote we have a got a sum of
7.
Hence there are
11
outcomes (of the total of
36
outcomes) which give us the desired output.
Hence probability of getting a sum of 6 or 7 is
11
36
