Two dice are thrown at the same time.
The possible outcomes are:
(1, 2) (2, 1) (3, 1) (4, 1) (5, 1) (6 ,1)
(1, 3) (2, 3) (3, 2) (4, 2) (5, 2) (6, 2)
(1, 4) (2, 4) (3, 4) (4, 3) (5, 3) (6, 3)
(1, 5) (2, 5) (3, 5) (4, 5) (5, 4) (6, 4)
(1, 6) (2, 6) (3, 6) (4, 6) (5, 6) (6, 5)
Now,
Probability = (Number of favourable outcomes)/(Total number of outcomes)
a) Same number on the both dices.
Here,
Total number of outcomes = 36
Number of favourable outcomes = 6 [(1,1) (2,2) (3,3) (4,4) (5,5) (6,6)]
So,
P(same number on both dices) = 6/36 = 1/6
b) Different number on both sides.
Here,
Total number of outcomes = 36
Number of favourable outcomes = 36 - 6 = 30 (As 6 are same)
P(different numbers on both dices) = 30/36 = 5/6
