Question

two dice are thrown simultaneously find the probability of getting a sum less than 9​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1 2 3 4 5 6

1 (1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

2 (2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

3 (3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

4 (4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

5 (5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

6 (6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

n(S)=6squre=36

no. of getting sum less than 9,n(letA)=26

probality getting A ,p(A)=n(A)/n(S)

= 26/36

=13/18ans
