Question

Two dice are thrown at the same time. Find the probability of getting different numbers on both dice.

Answer 1

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`
