Question
Two dice are thrown at the same time. Find the probability of getting different numbers on both dice.
Solution
Two dice are thrown at the same time. ...[Given]
So, total number of possible outcomes = 36
We have, different number on both dice.
So, number of possible outcomes
= 36 – Number of possible outcomes for same number on both dice
= 36 – 6
= 30
∴ Required probability = `30/36 = 5/6`
