A pair of dice is thrown. What is the probability of getting the sum of numbers on the two faces an odd-prime number? |
$\frac{7}{18}$ $\frac{1}{6}$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{5}{12}$ |
$\frac{7}{18}$ |
A pair of dice is thrown Sample Space {(11) (12)....(16), .........,(64)(65)(66)} Number of total outcomes = 36 sum as an odd prime numbers = 3, 5, 7, 11 Chances of getting sum as an odd prime numbers {(12)(21)(14)(41)(23)(32)(25)(52)(34)(43)(16)(61)(56)(65)} Required probability = 14/36 = 7/18 The correct answer is Option (1) → $\frac{7}{18}$ |
