Question

two dice are thrown simultaneously .what is the probability that the sum of the number appering on the dice is 7

Answer 1

Answer:

Total possible outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36

When sum is 7

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

= 6 cases

So probability

$= \frac{6}{36} = \frac{1}{6}$
