Question

Two different dice are thrown together. Find the probability that (i) the number on each die is odd. (ii) the sum of numbers appearing on the two dice is 6​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of outcomes =6×6=36

(i) Favorable outcomes =(1,1) (1,3) (1,5) (3,1) (3,3) (3,5) (5,1) (,3) (5,5) =9

P(E) =Favorable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes

=9/36

=1/4

(ii) Favorable outcomes =(1,5) (2,4) (3,3) (4,2) (5,1) =5

P(E)=5/36
