Question

Two dice are thrown simultaneously. What is the probability that:
(i) 5 will not come up on either of them?
(ii) 5 will come up on at least one?
(iii) 5 will come up at both dice?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

i)34/36

ii)2/36

iii)1/36

Answer 2

Probability 5 will not come up on either of them = 25/36

Probability 5 will come up on at least one = 10/36

Probability 5 will come up at both dice  = 1/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Two dice are thrown simultaneously.

Total outcomes = 36. Please refer to the attached picture.

(i) 5 will not come up on either of them?

Number of favorable outcomes = 36-11 = 25

Probability = 25/36

(ii) 5 will come up on at least one?

Number of favorable outcomes = 10

Probability = 10/36

(iii) 5 will come up at both dice

Number of favorable outcomes = 1

Probability = 1/36
