Question

Two dice are thrown at the same time
what is the probability that the product
of the numbers appearing on the top of
the dice is 6.​

Answer 1

Answer

Here,

maximum outcomes:36

possible outcomes as product of prime

numbers: (1,2), (2,1), (1,3), (3,1), (1,5), (5,1).

therefore P(getting product a prime number)

=>6/36

=>1/6

Answer 2

Answer:

Two dice are thrown at the same time.

Total number of possible outcomes=36

Let the event that getting the product of 6 on top of two dice be 'S'

Favourable outcomes to S are (1,6), (2,3), (3,2), (6,1).

→P(S)=Number of favourable outcomes toS

Number of all possible outcomes

=4/36

=1/9
