Probability

Question:

A pair of dice is thrown, getting a total of 7 is considered a success. Then the probability of success in a single throw is :

Options:

$\frac{5}{36}$

$\frac{4}{36}$

$\frac{6}{36}$

$\frac{7}{36}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{6}{36}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $\frac{6}{36}$

Total outcomes = $6×6=36$

favourable space → $\{(1,6),(2,5),(3,4),(4,3),(5,2),(6,1)\}$

⇒ probability = $\frac{6}{36}$
