Question
Two unbiased dice are rolled once. Find the probability of getting the sum as a prime number
Solution
Sample space = {(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)}
n(S) = 36
Let C be the event of getting a sum is a prime number
C = {(1, 1) (1, 2) (1, 4) (1, 6) (2, 1) (2, 3) (2, 5) (3, 2), (3, 4) (4, 1) (4, 3) (5, 2) (5, 6) (6, 1) (6, 5)}
n(C) = 15
P(C) = `("n"("C"))/("n"("S")) = 15/36 = 5/12`
