Question

Two dice are thrown simultaneously . find the probability of getting the sum as a odd number

Answer 1

Answer:

6/12=1/2 will be the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6*6=36 combinations of 2 dice

Let's find out how many of them sum up odd number:

The possibilities are: odd+odd, odd+even, even+even, even+odd

• odd+odd = 3*3=9 - sum is even
• odd+even = 3*3=9- sum is odd
• even+even = 3*3=9 - sum is even
• even+odd = 3*3=9- sum is odd

As we see, there are 18 possible ways of getting odd number.

So the probability of getting the sum as odd number = 18/36 = 1/2 or 50%
