Q. What is the probability of getting a sum more than 7 when 2 dice are thrown?
Read Solution (Total 8)
-
- n(S)=6*6=36
E=getting a sum more than 7 =>
(2,6),(3,5),(4,4),(5,3),(6,2)
(3,6),(4,5),(5,4),(6,3)
(4,6),(5,5),(6,4)
(5,6),(6,5)
(6,6)
n(E)=5+4+3+2+1=15
p=n(E)/n(S)= 15/36 = 5/12 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(21) No(0)
- total possible case of sum > 7 are (2,6) (3,5) (3,6) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6) (5,3) (5,4)
(5,5) (5,6) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6) i.e., 15 possibal values and over all pairs are 6*6 =36 in number
hence probability is 15/36 = 5/12 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
- 5+4++3+2+1=15/36
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- it is more than 7 only not equal to 7
so (2,6),(3,5),(3,6),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6) total is=15=n(e)
n(s)=36
n(e)/n(s)=15/36=5/12 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 15
=(2,6),(3,5),(3,6),(4,4)(4,5),(4,6),(5,3)(5,4)(5,5)(5,6)(6,2)(6,3)(6,4)(6,5)(6,6) - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- (2,6)(6,2)
(3,5)(5,3)(3,6)(6,3)
(4,4)(4,5)(5,4)(4,6)(6,4)
(5,5)
(6,5)(5,6)
(6,6)
(5,6)(6,5)
15/36=5/12 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- ans:7/12
(6+5+.....+1)/36 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(6)
- probability of getting less and equal to seven is=19/36
so
1-19/36=17/36
and 17/36 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
