Question

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

Answer 1

Two dice are thrown at the same time.  ...[Given]

So, total number of possible outcomes = 36

We have, same number on both dice.

So, possible outcomes are (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5) and (6, 6).

∴ Number of possible outcomes = 6

Now, required probability = `6/36 = 1/6`
