When we roll a pair of dice then following 36 outcomes are possible.
A pair of die is rolled. Find the probability of the following.
(i) Getting sum greater than 10.
Solution Total Outcomes = 36
Favourable outcomes = 3 { 6,5 ; 5,6 ; 6,6 }
Required Probability = No. of Favourable Outcomes /Total number of Outcomes
= 3/36
= 1/12
(ii) Getting sum greater or equal to 10.
Solution Total Outcomes = 36
Favourable outcomes = 6 { 6,4 ;5,5 ;4,6 ;6,5 ; 5,6 ; 6,6 }
Required Probability = No. of Favourable Outcomes /Total number of Outcomes
= 6/36
= 1/6
(iii) Getting an even number on the first die
Solution Total Outcomes = 36
Favourable outcomes = 18

Required Probability = No. of Favourable Outcomes /Total number of Outcomes
= 18/36
= 1/2
= 18/36
= 1/2
