Two different dice are thrown together. Find the probability that the numbers obtained
(i) have a sum less than 7
(ii) have a product less than 16
(iii) is a doublet of odd numbers.
Sample space = {(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)}
(i) Numbers obtained on die such that the sum is less than 7 are: (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (4, 1), (4, 2), (5, 1)
∴ Probability that pair has the sum is less than 7 =
![]()
(ii) Numbers obtained on die such that the product is less than 16 are: (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), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (6, 1), (6, 2)}
No. of pairs obtained such that the product is less than 16 = 25
∴ Probability that the product is less than 16 =
![]()
(iii) Doublet of odd numbers means that numbers obtained on the two dice should be both odd.
So, odd doublets obtained are: (1, 1), (1, 3), (1, 5), (3, 1),
(3, 3), (3, 5), (5, 1), (5, 3), (5, 5)
Number of odd doublets = 9
Therefore, Probability of getting an odd doublet =
![]()
