  • question_answer
    Two dice are thrown simultaneously. Select the correct option.

    A) the probability of not getting doublet is \[\frac{5}{6}\]

    B) the probability of getting a total of at least 10 is 1/6

    C) the probability of not getting a total as a perfect square is 29/36

    D) All of the above

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Two dice are thrown simultaneously
    Total number of outcomes = 36
    Doublet = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5,5), (6, 6)}
    Total of atleast 10 = {(4, 6), (5, 5), (6, 4), (5, 6), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
    Total is perfect square = {(1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 1), (3, 6), (4, 5), (5,4), (6, 3)}
    [a] P (doublet) =6/36 =1/6,
    P (not doublet) \[=1-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{5}{6}\]
    [b] P (getting total of atleast 10)
    =6/36=1/6
    [c] P (perfect square) =7/36,
    P (not a perfect square) \[=1-\frac{7}{36}=\frac{29}{36}\]
