1.	Two dice are thrown together. What is theprobability of getting a doublet?
Answer» There are a total of 36 possibilities : { (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5),(1,6) (2,1)(2,2)… …..(6,5) (6,6)} The doublets among these are (1,1), (2,2),(3,3)(4,4),(5,5),(6,6) So the probability of getting a doublet is : No. Of doublets / total no. of outcomes =6/36=1/6

Two dice are thrown together. What is theprobability of getting a doublet?

Answer»

There are a total of 36 possibilities :

{ (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5),(1,6) (2,1)(2,2)… …..(6,5) (6,6)}

The doublets among these are (1,1), (2,2),(3,3)(4,4),(5,5),(6,6)

So the probability of getting a doublet is :

No. Of doublets / total no. of outcomes =6/36=1/6
