Question

Two dice are thrown simultaneously. What is the probability that (I) 5 will not come up on either of them (2) 5 will come up on at least one (3) 5 will come up at both the dice

Answer 1

Answer:

1 -1/12

2- 1/6

3- 2/12 =6

Answer 2

Two dice thrown,

So, the total outcomes = 6² = 36

1. 5 will not come either of them

Favourable Outcomes = 36-12 = 24

P( not e) = Favorable outcomes/total Outcomes

= 24/36 = 2/3

2. 5 will come at least once

Favorable outcomes = 12

P(e) = Favorable outcomes/total Outcomes

=12/36 = 1/3

3. 5 will come both twice

Favourable Outcomes =2

P(e) = Favorable outcomes/total Outcomes

= 2/36

= 1/18
