Q2 of 36 Page 125

If two dice are rolled simultaneously, find the probability of the following events.

(1) The sum of the digits on the upper faces is at least 10.


(2) The sum of the digits on the upper faces is 33.


(3) The digit on the first die is greater than the digit on second die.

(1) Probability of getting the sum of the digits on the upper faces is at least 10, p(A)=



We know the Favourable Cases are (Where the Sum of digits on the upper faces is at least 10):- (4,6), (5,5), (5,6), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)- 6 cases

Total Number of Outcomes:- 36


p(A)=


(2) Probability of getting the sum of the digits on the upper faces is 33, p(B)=

Favorable Outcomes(Getting the sum of Digits on the upper Faces is 33)= 0 as the maximum sum could be 12

p(B)=0


(3) (3) Probability of getting the digit on the first die is greater than the digit on second die, p(C)=


Favorable Outcomes are as follow:- (2,1), (3,1), (3,2), (4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (6,1), (6,2), (6,3),(6,4), (6,5)= 15 cases


p(C)=
