प्रश्न
In a simultaneous throw of a pair of dice, find the probability of getting an even number on first
उत्तर
In a throw of pair of dice, total no of possible outcomes = 36 (6 × 6) which are
(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)
E ⟶ event of getting an even no. on first
No. of favorable outcomes = 18 {(2, 1) (2, 2) (2, 3) (2, 4) (2, 5) (2, 6), (4, 1) , (4, 2)
, (4, 3) , (4, 4) , (4, 5) , (4, 6) , (6, 1) , (6, 2) , (6, 3) , (6, 4) , (6, 5) , (6, 6)}
Total no. of possible outcomes = 36
We know that, Probability P(E) =`"No.of favorable outcomes"/"Total no.of possible outcomes"`
P(E) =18/36 =1/2
