Question

Please i need help over here

Two dice are tossed simultaneously, what is the probability that?
1. sum oc the out come is more than 7?
2. the sum of the square of individual outcome is less than 20?​

Answer 1

5 / 12

11 / 36

Explanation:

The sample space for 2 dice = 6² = 36

Number of outcomes where sum is less than 7 = 15

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(obtaining a sum less Than 7) = 15 / 36 = 5/12

Number of outcomes where Sum of individual outcome is less than 20 = 11

P(sum of individual outcome less than 20) = 11/ 36
