    What is the probability of getting a sum 9 from two throws of a dice?

    A) \[\frac{1}{6}\]      

    B)                                \[\frac{1}{8}\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{9}\]          

    D)        \[\frac{1}{12}\]

    E) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Explanation Option [c] is correct. In two throws of a die, \[n\left( S \right)=\left( 6\times 6 \right)=36\] Let E = event of getting a sum \[9=\left\{ \left( 3, 6 \right), \left( 4, 5 \right), \left( 5, 4 \right), \left( 6, 3 \right) \right\}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,P(E)\,=\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}=\frac{4}{36}=\frac{1}{9}\].
