Question

Two different dice are thrown at the same time. Find the probability of getting :

(i) a doublet

Answer 1

Total number of outcomes when two dice are rolled = 36 

A doublet 

favorable outcomes are: (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6) 

Number of favorable outcomes = 6

P(A doublet) = `"Number of favourable outcomes "/"Total number of outcomes"` = `6/36 = 1/6`
