Question

three dice are thrown together. find the probability of getting a sum of at least 6.

Answer 1

HERE IS UR ANSWER DUDE.....PLS MARK MY ANSWER AS BRAINLIEST ANSWER..

Number of events of getting a total of less than 6 (event of getting a total of 3, 4 or 5) = 10

i.e. (1, 1, 1), (1, 1, 2), (1, 2, 1), (2, 1, 1) (1, 1, 3), (1, 3, 1), (3, 1, 1), (1, 2, 2), (2, 1, 2), (2, 2, 1).

Therefore, probability of getting a total of less than 6

               Number of favorable outcomes
P(E6) =     Total number of possible outcome 

      = 10/216
      = 5/108

Therefore, probability of getting a total of at least 6 = 1 - P(getting a total of less than 6)

= 1 - 5/108

= (108 - 5)/108

= 103/108
