Question

Two fair dice are thrown and the scores are added together. What is the probability of scoring a total of 5?

Answer 1

Answer: P(E) = 4/36=1/9

Step-by-step explanation: As we can get a sum of 5 by 4 combination

1) (1,4)

2) (4,1)

3) (2,3)

4) (3.2)

& their are 36 possible combinations when we throw 2 dice

& We know that :-

P(E)= No. of favaourable outcomes/ Total no. of outcomes

Therefore, P(E) = 4/ 36

=>P(E) = 1/ 9
