Question

What is the probability that one die has number ""5"" as the outcome and the other die has number ""1"" as the outcome?

Answer 1

`(1)/(36)`

Explanation:

Probability refers to the chance of occurrence of some event.

Outcome refers to the result of the event that occurs.

When a die is thrown once, outcomes are
`\left \{ 1,2,3,4,5,6 \right \}`

Probability of occurrence of each of the events i.e. number appeared on the die when it is thrown is 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 =
`(1)/(6)`

To find: the probability that one die has the number ''5'' as the outcome and the other die has the number ''1'' as the outcome

Solution: the probability that one die has the number ''5'' as the outcome × the probability that the die has the number ''1'' as the outcome =
`(1)/(6)* (1)/(6)=(1)/(36)`
