Two different dice are thrown at the same time. Find the probability of getting :
(ii)sum divisible by 5
Solution
Total number of outcomes when two dice are rolled = 36
Sum divisible by 5
favorable outcomes are: (1,4), (2.3), (3,2), (4,1), (4,6), (5,5), (6,4)
Number of favorable outcomes= 7
P(Sum divisible by 5) = `"Number of favourable outcomes "/"Total number of outcomes "` = `7/36`
