Question
In a simultaneous throw of a pair of dice, find the probability of getting a number greater than 4 on each die
Advertisements
Solution
We know that in a single throw of two dices, the total number of possible outcomes is (6 × 6) = 36.
Let S be the sample space.
Then n(S) = 36
Let E14 = event of getting a number greater than 4 on each dice
Then E14 = {(5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
i.e. n (E14) = 4
