Question

. Two fair dice are thrown. What is the probability that
(ii) getting two numbers that are exactly the same?​

Answer 1

Answer:1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

the no of possible outcomes = 36

If the numbers are same on two dices, they will only be doublets

Let a be the getting the same number

a={(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(5,5),(6,6)}

n(a)=6

P(a)=6/36=1/6

Answer 2

Answer: 1/6

Explanation:

There are 6 identical numbers out of 36 possibilties and we know

$probability = \frac{no \: of \:outcomes }{total \: no \: of \: outcomes}$

thus,

probabilty = 36/6 = 1/6
