Two dice are thrown together. The probability of getting the same number on both dice is
Total numbers of elementary events are: 6 x6 = 36
Let E be the event of getting the same number on both the dice
Favourable events are: (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6)
Numbers of favourable outcomes are: 6
P (E) = 6/36 = 1/6
