Question

Determine the probability p, for the following events. 
The sum of 6 appears in a single toss of a pair of fair dice.

Answer 1

When a pair of dice is rolled

Then total number of sample space = 36 out of which (1, 5), (5, 1), (2, 4), (4, 2) and (3, 3) are the favourable events

∴ Required probability = `5/36`.
