Two dice are thrown at the same time and the product of numbers appearing on them is noted. Find the probability that the product is less than 9. |
Answer» We know that when two dice are thrown the same time, then the number of all possible outcomes is 36. Let E be the event that the sum of the numbers appearing on the top of the two dice is more than 9. The favourable outcomes are (4,6),(5,5),(5,6),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6). Number of favourable outcomes = 6. `:. ` P(getting a sum more than 9) = `P(E ) = 6/36 = 1/6`. |
