Question

Two unbiased dice are rolled once. Find the probability of getting the sum as 1

Answer 1

Sample space = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}

n(S) = 36

Let D be the event of getting a sum is 1

n(D) = 0

P(D) = `("n"("D"))/("n"("S")) = 0/36` = 0

Probability of getting a sum is 1 is 0
