4) If two normal dice are thrown together, what is the probability of getting a s4? |
|
Answer» If the dice are 6 SIDED, the sample SPACE S contains 36 ordered pairs. So n(S) = 36 (i) The desired event E is getting a TOTAL of 7. Such ordered pairs are (1,6),(2,5),(3,4), (4,3),(5,2) and (6,1). So n(E) = 6. Therefore the probability of getting a SCORE of 7 = n(E)/n(S) = 6/36 = 1/6 |
