Question

Two dice are rolled together. The probability of getting a double is ______.

Options

• `2/36`

• `1/36`

• `1/6`

• `5/6`

Answer 1

Two dice are rolled together. The probability of getting a double is `bbunderline(1/6)`.

Explanation:

We know that,

On rolling two dice,

Total number of possible outcomes = 36

Favourable outcomes are {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6)} = 6

So, P(doublet) = `6/36 = 1/6`
