Two different dice are thrown together. Find the probability of getting a total of 6 or 7 of the numbers on two dice.
उत्तर
When two dice are thrown simultaneously, the possible outcomes can be listed as follows:
| Outcome |
1 |

Total number of possible outcomes = 36
Outcomes where the numbers on the two dice total 6 = 5 [(1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 3), (4, 2), (5, 1)]
Outcomes where the numbers on the two dice total 7 = 6 [(1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4), (4, 3), (5, 2), (6, 1)]
Number of favourable outcomes = 5 + 6 = 11
Thus, the probability of getting a total of 6 or 7 of the numbers on the two dice is `11/36`
