प्रश्न

In a simultaneous throw of a pair of dice, find the probability of getting a sum more than 7

उत्तर

We know that in a single throw of two dices, the total number of possible outcomes is (6 × 6) = 36.
Let S be the sample space.
Then n(S) = 36

 Let E11 = event of getting a sum greater than 7
 Then E11 = {(2, 6), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
      i.e. (E11) = 15

\[\therefore P\left( E_{11} \right) = \frac{n\left( E_{11} \right)}{n\left( S \right)} = \frac{15}{36} = \frac{5}{12}\]
