Answer:

0

Explanation:

In the roll of a pair of fair dice, The sample space is as follows:

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

If x,y represent the possible outcome of rolling the two die

Then the total number of possibilities for the sample space = (x,y)

= (6 × 6) = 36

Now, the probability of getting a sum of 1 does not exist in the roll of a pair of fair dice.

Therefore, Probability(1) = 0
