Question

two dice are thrown together. what is the probability that the sum of numbers appearing on the two dice is 5​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/1 ,1/2,1/3,1/4,1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

if the dice is thrown the chance of getting 5 is 1/5

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

sample space : two dice are thrown together

S={ (1,1)(1,2)(1,3)(1,4)(1,5)(1,6)

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

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

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

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

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

n(S) = 36

let

event A be the event that sum of two dice is 5

A = {(1,4)(2,3)(3,2)(4,1)}

n(A) = 4

P(A) = n(A)/ n(S)

= 4/36

P(A) = 1/9

probablity that the sum of two dice is 5 is 1/9
