Question

Fez rolls 2 fair dice and adds the results from each. Work out the probability of getting a total less than 6.

Answer 1

5/18

Explanation:

I got it wrong and that was the answer

Answer 2

The probability of getting sum of two dice is less than six

P(E) =0.25

Explanation:

Step(i):-

The total number of cases n(S) = 6² = 36

Let 'E' be the event of getting sum of two dice is less than six

{(1,2) , (1,3),(1,4),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(3,1),(3,2),(4,1)}

n(E) =9

Step(ii):-

The probability of getting sum of two dice is less than six

`P(E) = (n(E))/(n(S))`

`P(E) = (9)/(36) = (1)/(4)`

P(E) = 0.25
