Question

Two dice are rolled together. The probability that the sum of the numbers obtained is divisible by 6, is ______.

Options

• `1/6`

• `11/36`

• `1/12`

• `1/4`

Answer 1

Two dice are rolled together. The probability that the sum of the numbers obtained is divisible by 6, is `bbunderline(1/6)`.

Explanation:

When two dice are rolled, the total number of possible outcomes = 36 

Favorable outcomes: 

{(1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (4,2), (5,1), (6, 6)}

Number of favorable outcomes = 6

Probability = `6/36`

= `1/6`
