Question

The probabiltiy that throw of two dice yields a total of 5 or 6 is:

A) 2/14 B) 5/18 C) 3/4 D) 1/4

Answer 1

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of outcomes possible = 36

Number of favourable outcomes = 9

The favourable outcomes are - (1,4),(4,1),(2,3),(3,2),(1,5),(5,1),(2,4),(4,2),(3,3)

So probability =

total outcomes/favourable outcomes

=> 9/36

=> 1/4

Answer 2

Answer:

The probability that throws of two dice yields a total of 5 or 6 is

option D i.e  $\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

• Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the
• It is given by formulae

        $P=\frac{ favourable \ outcomes}{total \ number \ of \ outcomes}$

Step 1of 1:

• Total number of outcomes possible = 36
• Favourable outcomes that yield a total of 5 or 6  is given by

         $(1,4),(4,1),(2,3),(3,2),(1,5),(5,1),(2,4),(4,2),(3,3)$

• Number of favourable outcomes=9
• Probability is given by

         $P=\frac{ favourable \ outcomes}{total \ number \ of \ outcomes}$

         $P=\frac{ 9}{36}\\P=\frac{1}{4}$

Conclusion:

The probability that throws of two dice yields a total of 5 or 6 is $\frac{1}{4}$
