Question

two dice are thrown at the same time. write down all the possible results. Also find the probability of the events. i) 8 as the sum ii) 13 as the sum​

Answer 1

36 outcomes

i 5/36 ii. 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets see when two dice are thrown total outcomes are 6²= 36

the possibilities are as following...

11,12,13,14,15,16

21,22,23,24,25,26

31,32,33,34,35,36

41,42,43,44,45,46,

51,52,53,54,55,56

61,62,63,64,65,66

i. probability of an event with 8 as a sum is

events where 8 is sum

26,62,35,53,44,

there are 5 such outcomes

hence probability is 5/36.

ii. probability of an event with 13 as a sum is

events where 13 is the sum

0.

there are no events where 13 can be the sum because highest sum can be 12.

Hence probability is 0/36 = 0
