Question

Two fair dice are thrown. Find the probabilities of the following events: A) Two sixes' are rolled B) At least one six is rolled

Answer 1

Explanation:

Considering two fair dice are thrown, as a single die gives 6 outcomes and there are 2 dice so the total outcomes are 6*6 = 36

considering the event A). Two sixes are rolled

since the occurrence of two sixes rolled happens only once, hence the probability of Two sixes rolled is 1/36

considering event B). At least one six is rolled

the occurrence of at least one six is 2, hence the probability of rolling at least one six is 2/36 = 1/18
