Question

Two different dice are rolled simultaneously. Find the probability that the sum of the numbers on the two dice is 10. Select the correct answer from above options

Answer 1

When two different dice are rolled simultaneously, then Total number of outcomes = 36 Favorable outcomes = Sum of the numbers on the two dice is 10 = {(2, 5),(5,2), (5,5)} Total number of favorable outcomes = 3 P(getting numbers on the dice whose sum is 10) = 3/36 = 1/12
