Question -

Two unbiased dice are thrown. Find the probability that the total of the numbers on the dice is greater than 10



Answer -

Given: Two unbiaseddice are thrown.

By using the formula,

P (E) = favourableoutcomes / total possible outcomes

So, we now have todetermine the probability of getting the sum of digits on dice greater than 10

Total number ofpossible outcomes is 62=36

n (S) = 36

Let E be the event ofgetting same number on all the three dice

E = {(5,6) (6,5)(6,6)}

n (E) = 3

P (E) = n (E) / n (S)

= 3 / 36

= 1/12
