Question

Two dice are rolled simultaneously. Find the probability of getting.

(A)a sum of 10
(B)two 5
(C)a sum of 5​

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 1 / 12. B) 1/36. C) 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

A) P(A) = 3

S(A) = 36

= 3/36 = 1/12

B) P(B) = 1

S(A) =36

= 1/36

C) P(C)= 4

S (A) = 36

= 4/36

= 1/9

Answer 2

Answer:

A) 1/12

B) 1/36

C) 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

A) a sum of 10

the possible outcomes are (5,5)(4,6)(6,4)

no.of . possible outcomes= 3

total possible outcomes when two dice are rolled= 36

so the probability for a sum of 10 = 3/36= 1/12

B) two 5

possible outcomes=(5,5)

probability= 1/36

C) a sum of 5

possible outcomes= (1,4)(4,1)(2,3)(3,2)

no.of.outcomes = 4

probability = 3/36 =1/12
