Question

What is the probability of getting the sum 5 in two throws of the dice?

Answer 1

Probably is = 4/36=1/9

Answer 2

Given,

Two dice are thrown.

Total number of outcomes = 36

To find,

We have to find the probability of getting the sum of 5 in two throws of the die.

Solution,

The probability of getting the sum of 5 in two throws of the die is 1/9.

We can simply find the required probability by using the formula of probability.

Probability = Favorable cases/ Total number of cases

Number of cases of getting the sum 5 in two throws of die = (1,4), (2,3), (3,2), (4,1)

favorable cases = 4

Probability( of getting the sum of 5 in two throws of the die) = 4/36

P = 1/9

Hence, the probability of getting the sum of 5 in two throws of the die is 1/9.
