Question
Two dice are thrown simultaneously. What is the probability that 5 wifi come up at both dice?
Solution
Total no. of possible outcomes when 2 dice are thrown = 6 × 6 = 36 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 5 on both dice
No. of favourable outcomes = 1 { (5, 5) }
P(E) = `"No. of favorable outcomes"/"Total no. of possible outcomes"`
P(E) = 1/36
